3 This appliance must be properly grounded. See separate

Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.

4 Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with

the provided Installation Manual.

5 Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers

- for example, closed glass jars—are able to explode and should not be heated in the Microwave Drawer.

6 Use this appliance only for its intended use as described

in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This Microwave Drawer is speciﬁcally designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7 As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary

when used by children.

8 Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord

or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

9 This appliance should be serviced only by qualiﬁed

service personnel. Contact nearest Sharp Authorized Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment.

10 Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

11 Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use

this product near water—for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or similar locations.

12 Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

13 Do not climb or sit on the Microwave Drawer.

14 Be sure that ﬁngers or other objects or materials are

not around the Microwave Drawer opening when the Microwave Drawer is closed.

15 Do not put ﬁngers or clothes around the drawer guides

when the Microwave Drawer is opened or closed. They could be caught in the guides when the Microwave Drawer is closed.

16 Be sure that the food and container are shorter than the

Microwave Drawer before closing it. You can refer to the height of the side walls of the Microwave Drawer.

17 When cleaning Microwave Drawer sealing surfaces that

come together on closing the drawer, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. See cleaning instructions on page 18.

18 To reduce the risk of ﬁre in the Microwave Drawer

cavity:

a Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance

when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the Microwave Drawer to facilitate cooking.

b Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags

before placing bag in Microwave Drawer.

c If materials inside the Microwave Drawer ignite,

keep Microwave Drawer door closed, turn microwave off and shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d Do not use the Microwave Drawer for storage

purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the Microwave Drawer when not in use.

19 Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be

overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the Microwave Drawer is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

a Do not overheat the liquid.

b Stir the liquid both before and halfway through

heating it.

c Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow

necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.

d After heating, allow the container to stand in the

Microwave Drawer at least for 20 seconds before removing the container.

e Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other

utensil into the container.

20 If the Microwave Drawer light fails, consult a SHARP

AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE DRAWER

ALWAYS 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 right side of the vent.

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 norma l par t of microwave co oking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will inﬂuence the amount of moisture that condenses in the Microwave Drawer. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones.

The Microwave Drawer is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your Microwave Drawer is rated 1000 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. 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 18.

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 cook evenly.

• Shield with small ﬂat 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.

• Add standing time. Remove food from Microwave Drawer and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to ﬁnish 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 ﬂakes 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

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain

• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturerʼs 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 ﬂat 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.

OPEN OR CLOSE MICROWAVE DRAWER

Always press the OPEN or CLOSE pad on the control panel to open or close the Microwave Drawer.

Do not push or pull the Microwave Drawer by hand, except in case of emergency, such as a power failure. If necessary, push or pull slowly.

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 comfortably.

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 16 for Control Lock feature.

ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agricultureʼs recommended temperatures.

160˚F - For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry,

ﬁsh, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

165˚F - For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and

carry-out “fresh” food.

170˚F - White meat of poultry.

180˚F - Dark meat of poultry.

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 dishʼs covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.

• Stay near the Microwave Drawer while itʼs in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

• 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 ﬁres. See page 18.
