ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE DRAWER
A LWAY S have food in the Microwave Drawer when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
The vent under the Microwave Drawer must not be blocked. During microwaving, steam may come from the left side lower vent (when facing the product).
When using the Microwave Drawer at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the Microwave Drawer to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking and the amount being vented is directly related to the moisture content of the food and room humidity. A cooler room will produce more condensation. Attention should be paid to the vented area after each use of the product and wiped down if needed.
The Microwave Drawer is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
When opening or closing the Microwave Drawer quickly, food in the Microwave Drawer may be spilled. To clean, please refer to the Cleaning and Care section on page 19.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. The Microwave Drawer
is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric
shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric
current.
– Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not use
an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too
short, have a qualied electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the appliance.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to co o k even l y.
• Shield with small at pieces of aluminum foil any thin
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from right to left.
E5
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
• Add standing time. Remove food from Microwave Drawer and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows
the food to nish cooking without overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and akes easily with a fork.
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new Microwave Drawer. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®.
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
• microwave-safe plastics
• microwave-safe paper plates
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturer’s directions.)
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:
• wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
• metal pans and bakeware
• dishes with metallic trim
• non-heat-resistant glass
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
• recycled paper products
• brown paper bags
• food storage bags
• metal twist-ties
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
The following coverings are ideal:
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.
How to use aluminum foil in your Microwave Drawer:
• Small at pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the
food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the Microwave Drawer.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories
available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the Microwave Drawer
when accessories are used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the Microwave Drawer with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room. The child must be able to reach the Microwave Drawer comfor tably.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the Microwave Drawer.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use pot­holders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Donʼt assume that because a child has mastered one cooking
skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the Microwave Drawer is not a toy. See page 18 for Control Lock feature.
ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States
Department of Agricultureʼs recommended temperatures.
145˚F -
160˚F -

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave use.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering
• Stay near the Microwave Drawer while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the Microwave Drawer for storing cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause
arcing and/or res. See page 19.
