The Sharp Insight Pro™ R ange with the world’s first Microwave Dr awer™

For over thirty years, Sharp has been the name to trust for cooking innovations like the Carousel ® microwave turntable and the High Speed Oven. Now Sharp applies its expertise, fresh thinking and insight into how consumers really use their kitchens to develop a new kind of cooking product.

Introducing the remarkable Insight Pro Range. This 3-in-1 cooking center combines a glass ceramic cooktop, conventional and convection oven, and Sharp’s exclusive Microwave Drawer in a single space-saving appliance. While all this cooking versatility occupies a width of only 30 inches, its two spacious ovens offer the capacity to microwave a 9”x13” pan of lasagna or roast a 25-pound turkey.

If you like to cook and you use your microwave frequently, you’ll love Insight Pro’s convenience and flexibility.

Whether your menu calls for defrosting an entree in the microwave, simmering a stew on the cooktop or convection roasting a holiday turkey to perfection, Insight Pro does it all — beautifully. A perfect blend of style and convenience, the Insight Pro Range is your kitchen’s sleekest secret.

The World’s first Microwave Drawer

The clever design of the Insight Pro Range takes the microwave off the counter and places it right at the most convenient height, making stirring food easier and safer.

It’s ideal for people who use their microwave frequently and an innovative solution that answers the key question of where to put the microwave.

High-Performance features complement the way you cook

With a wealth of practical features, the Insight Pro Range is as smart as it is beautiful.

Front-mounted glass touch controls are angled for convenience and safety, eliminating the need to lean over a hot cooktop. They’re easy to view and easy to clean, and their intuitive operation makes them simple to program for both conventional and convection baking, broiling and roasting.

The smooth ceramic cooktop includes a warming zone to make meal coordination simple. The

EZ Pull oven racks let you slide even the heaviest turkey out of a hot oven with ball bearing ease.

Sharp’s renowned microwave sensor technology eliminates guesswork so preparing microwave foods is virtually foolproof. And, for even greater convenience, the automatic Microwave Drawer opens with the touch of a button.

Cooking with the Insight Pro Range is deliciously easy with True European convection.

Incorporating a third rear heating element, its fan continually circulates hot air throughout the lower oven cavity for more even cooking. Now you can bake multiple racks of delicious cookies or crusty breads at the same time with superb results. And convection broiling lets you keep the door closed, helping meats brown beautifully while sealing in juices that make food more succulent.

Insight Pro’s 3-in-1 cooking center eliminates steps between appliances, creating a highly efficient kitchen traffic pattern. Its front-mounted touch controls, oven and cooktop control locks, and superb microwave accessibility also make the

Insight Pro Range both safe and convenient for every cook in the family.

High-Tech touchscreen navigation is pr actical and easy to use

With its smart touchscreen navigation, the Insight Pro range puts sophisticated cooking technology right at your fingertips. Its user-friendly touchscreen guides you through the cooking process with step-by-step directions and helpful tips. It’s easy to set the clock, oven temperature or cooking time, and the touchscreen provides status information like actual oven temperature or power level.

You can even adjust the volume of audible signals and lock the lower oven or cooktop controls for child safety.

With virtually no guesswork, cooking couldn’t be easier. For perfectly microwaved broccoli, simply tap the backlit touchscreen to select

Automatic Cooking. Then choose Fresh Vegetables, Broccoli and your choice of Crisp or Tender. Insight Pro automatically determines the right power levels and cooking times, and even prompts you to trim the vegetables and whether to cover the dish. The on-screen microwave recipes also make mealtime more interesting with a selection of delicious new dishes you can make quickly and easily.

One of Insight Pro’s most exciting features is its exclusive Custom Conversion technology.

Experienced cooks know that convection ovens may cook food faster and at different temperatures than standard ovens. But most convection ovens offer automatic conversion features that adjust only for general categories like “Baked Goods.” Insight Pro pinpoints exact time and temperature settings for specific foods, adjusting automatically to perfectly cook baked goods like “Bundt Cake,”

“Cheesecake” or “Angel Food Cake.” No longer will you have to tolerate experimentation and a long learning curve. You’ll enjoy superb results from the very first time you convection bake or roast.

Insight Pro’s touchscreen menu offers Bake,

Broil, Reheat, Defrost and Microwave Cook options, as well as three convection settings:

Convection Bake, Convection Roast and

Convection Broil. Each convection selection automatically activates the fan plus the ideal combination of top, bottom and rear heating elements for each type of cooking.

High-Style design complements the way you live

The Insight Pro Range offers a sleek, integrated look that complements a wide range of decors from traditional to contemporary. It’s ideal in smaller kitchens, islands or modern open-plan designs that offer lots of open space but little overhead cabinetry, leaving few places suitable for a microwave. By incorporating the microwave within the range itself, Insight Pro eliminates awkward installations and cluttered countertops while allowing the use of a stylish ventilation hood above the range. It’s an easy and cost-effective option requiring virtually no installation.
