INFO DISPLAY COOKING SYSTEM

Thank you for buying a Sharp Microwave Oven.

Your new oven has an "Information Display System" which offers you step-by-step instructions to easily guide you through each feature.

Your oven also has a HELP key for instructions on using Guide of Keys, Child Lock, Sound Setting, Refresh

Cycle and Help.

After gaining experience and confidence using your oven, the information display can be turned off.

We strongly recommend however that you read this operation manual thoroughly before operating your oven, paying particular attention to the safety warnings and special notes.

The manual is divided into two sections:

1. OPERATION (P3~P24)

This section describes your oven and teaches you how to use all the features.

2. COOKING GUIDE

This section is at the back of the manual, it contains the more commonly used information such as how to prepare food, which cooking utensil to use, standing time.

It also contains recipes for automatic cooking.

Please take some time to read your operation manual carefully, the automatic cooking menus programmed into your new oven have been carefully developed to give optimum results when the step-by-step instructions are followed.

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Do not put things on top of the oven or cover the outer cabinet.

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a. Do not overcook food.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.

c. Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled.

d. Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated in disposable containers made of plastic, paper or other combustible materials for signs of smoke or burning.

e. If materials inside the oven should ignite, or smoke is observed, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling:

Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly therefore, it is very important that you select the appropriate cooking time and power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated.

If you are unsure of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times and power levels until the food is sufficiently heated evenly throughout.

Additionally: a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered to be sealed containers.

b. Do not use excessive amount of time.

c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container.

d. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.

e. Stir the liquid before and during cooking. Use extreme care when handling the container or inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

This oven is for home food preparation only and should only be used for heating, cooking and defrosting food and beverage.

It is not suitable for commercial, laboratory use, or heating therapeutic devices eg. Wheat bags.

Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.

Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.

It is hazardous for anyone other than a qualified service technician trained by SHARP to carry out any service or repair operation. Especially those which involve the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy are very hazardous.

Do not operate the oven if it is not working correctly or damaged until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician trained by SHARP. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to:

(1) Door (warped), (2) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door Seals, Sealing Surfaces and oven cavity (buckled or deformed), (4) Burn marks on the door seal faces.

Do not bump, or catch utensils, loose clothes and your accessories on the door safety latches when removing food from the oven.

Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating.

Never tamper with or deactivate the door safety latches.

Always use oven gloves 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.

Should the power supply cord become damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord supplied by a

SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY SHARP. And it must be replaced by a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.

If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.

Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands.

Slowly lift the furthest edge of a dish's cover and microwave plastic wrap and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.

Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged, and that it does not run under the oven or over any hot surfaces or sharp edges.

Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.

Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

Accessible parts (e.g.oven door, oven cavity, dishes and accessories) will become hot when in use. To avoid burns and scalds children should be kept away. Always use thick oven gloves to prevent yourself from getting burnt.

Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

SPECIAL NOTES

Eggs, fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables, sausages and oysters

DO

* Puncture egg yolks and whites and oysters before cooking to prevent

"explosion".

* Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs, sausages and oysters so that steam escapes.

Popcorn * Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave oven.

* Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1-2 seconds.

Baby food

DON’T

* Cook eggs in shells. This prevents oven or injure yourself.

* Reheat whole eggs.

* Overcook oysters.

* Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

* Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.

* Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.

* Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, stirring often. Check for suitable temperature to prevent burns.

* Remove the screw cap and teat before warming baby bottles. After warming shake thoroughly. Check for suitable temperature.

* Heat disposable bottles.

* Overheat baby bottles.

Only heat until warm.

* Heat bottles with nipples on.

* Heat baby food in original jars.

General * Food with filling should be cut after heating, to release steam and avoid burns.

* Use a deep bowl when cooking liquids or cereals to prevent boiling over.

* Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight containers.

* Deep fat fry.

* Heat or dry wood, herbs, wet papers, clothes or flowers.

* Operate the oven without a load (i.e. an absorbing material such as food or water) in the oven cavity except when conditioning or cleaning the heater elements as described in the operation manual.

HELPFUL HINTS

MICROWAVE COOKING

1. ARRANGEMENT

Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.

Eg. Arrange vegetables in a shallow dish in the following way:

Hard Vegetables around the outside, Soft Vegetables in the centre, Medium Vegetables in-between.

2. TURNING

Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be turned over after half the cooking time.

3. COVERING

Cover foods in the microwave if you would normally cover the food in your ordinary oven, or to retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables, Casseroles, or when Reheating.

Use to cover foods:

4. PIERCING to allow steam to escape.

LID PLASTIC WRAP PAPER TOWEL

Pierce potatoes, eggs, oysters, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or membrane

8. SIZE

Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm so microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all sides.

For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.

9. DENSITY

The depth to which microwaves penetrate food varies depending on the food's density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes microwave faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.

10. FAT AND BONE

Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking.

Large fatty areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away from meat, and slows cooking. Centre bones do not affect cooking, but bone on the side of meat conducts heat to the areas next to it.

11. STARTING TEMPERATURE

Frozen or refrigerated food takes longer to heat than food at room temperature.

Cooking times in this book are based on normal storage temperatures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ in temperature, check for doneness at the minimum time.

TOMATO EGG

5. SHIELDING

Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat, fish and poultry or edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.

FISH CHICKEN

6. STANDING TIME

Standing time is important. After cooking or defrosting ensure adequate standing time. This allows the food to continue cooking or heating. Refer to cooking guides for each menu or according to manufacturers instructions.

7. STIRRING

Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during cooking if possible.

Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.

STIR

12. QUANTITY

Microwave cooking times are directly related to the amount of food in the oven.

Because energy is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a single piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the energy is divided among several items, cooking takes more time.

13. CONDENSATION

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will influence the amount of condensation in the oven.

Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.

14.GENERAL

Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly therefore, it is very important that you select the appropriate cooking time and power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated. If you are unsure of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times and power levels until the food is sufficiently heated evenly throughout.

R-90GC(S) C/B01-8 1 03.7.11, 1:07 PM

HELPFUL HINTS

GRILL COOKING

1. Use thick oven gloves when removing food or the turntable from the oven to

PREVENT BURNS. Because accessible parts (e.g. oven door, oven cavity, dishes and accessories) will become hot when in use.

2. Foods may be cooked either directly on the turntable, or using the high/low racks (and splash guard).

CONVECTION COOKING



2. For best results, preheat to required temperature without the turntable and accessories.

3. High rack or low rack (and splash guard) is recommended for 1 level. High and low racks are recommended for 2 levels.

4. Metal cookware can be used. Round pizza trays are excellent cooking utensils for cooking.

LOW RACK HIGH RACK SPLASH GUARD

3. Follow the recommended grill cooking times and procedures in the cookbook.

DUAL COOKING

1. There are two automatic, preprogrammed dual settings.

a) Dual 1 - Grill with 30% microwave power.

b) Dual 2 - Convection 250°C with 30% microwave power.



3. Metal cookware can be used.

During dual cooking some metal utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact with oven walls or accessory racks. To prevent arcing when using a metal tin, place a heat resistant dish (Pyrex pie plate, dinner plate) between the tin and the rack.

4. Follow the recommended dual cooking times and procedures in the cookbook.

CAKE TIN RECTANGLE DISH PIZZA TRAY

5. If you are cooking and wish to check the temperature you have programmed, simply press the CONV. (°C) key. The programmed temperature will be displayed as long as the CONV. (°C) key is pressed.

• Shield the bone and the edge with foil strips about 2.5cm wide.

• Place joint with lean side face upwards (if possible) on a defrost rack.

• Remove from original wrapper. Shield wing and leg tips with foil.

• Place breast side down on a defrost rack.

• When the oven has stopped, turn over and shield the warm portions.


N.B. After standing run under cold water to remove giblets if necessary.

• Shield thin end of chops or steaks with foil.

• Position the food with thinner parts in the centre in a single layer on a defrost rack. If pieces are stuck together, try to separate as soon as possible.

• When the oven has stopped, remove defrosted pieces, turn over and shield the warm portions of remaining pieces.


• See NOTE below.

• Shield the exposed bone with foil.

• Place chicken pieces on a defrost rack.

• When the oven has stopped, remove any defrosted pieces, turn over and shield the warm portions of remaining pieces.

• Place frozen minced meat on a defrost rack. Shield edges.

• When the oven has stopped, remove defrosted portions of mince, turn over and shield edges with foil strips.


• See NOTE below.

Food not listed in the Guide can be defrosted using 30% setting.

NOTE: Do not use the metal rack for defrosting.

When freezing minced meat, shape it into flat even sizes.

For chicken pieces, steaks and chop, freeze separately in single flat layers and if necessary interleave with freezer plastic to separate layers.

This will ensure even defrosting.

It is also a good idea to label the packs with the correct weights.
