7INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOWABOUT YOUR OVENWhen using the oven at power levels below 100%,you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.Room humidity and the moisture in food willinfluence the amount of moisture that condenses inthe oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause asmuch condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on theoven back must not be blocked.The oven is for food preparation only. It should notbe used to dry clothes or newspapers.Your oven is rated 1100 watts by using the IEC TestProcedure. In using recipes or package directions,check food a minute or two before the minimum timeand add time accordingly.This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefullyand always save it for reference.A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset.Check it for microwave cooking principles,techniques, hints and recipes. See pages 37 and 38for ordering the Ultimate Accessory, the SHARPCAROUSEL MICROWAVE COOKBOOK.NEVER use the oven without the turntable andsupport nor turn the turntable over so that a large dishcould be placed in the oven. The turntable will turnboth clockwise and counterclockwise. See page 30for complete instructions.ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on toabsorb the microwave energy.ABOUT FOODDON'TDO• Puncture egg yolks before cooking toprevent “explosion”.• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash,hot dogs and sausages so that steam es-capes.• Use specially bagged popcorn for themicrowave oven.• Listen while popping corn for the pop-ping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or usespecial Popcorn pad.• Transfer baby food to small dish andheat carefully, stirring often. Checktemperature before serving.• Put nipples on bottles after heating andshake thoroughly. “Wrist” test beforefeeding.• Cut baked goods with filling after heat-ing to release steam and avoid burns.• Stir liquids briskly before and afterheating to avoid “eruption”.• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquidsor cereals, to prevent boilovers.Eggs, sausages,nuts, seeds,fruits &vegetablesPopcornBaby foodGeneral• Cook eggs in shells.• Reheat whole eggs.• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags orglass bowls.• Exceed maximum time on popcornpackage.• Heat baby food in original jars.• Heat disposable bottles.• Heat bottles with nipples on.• Heat or cook in closed glass jars or airtight containers.• Can in the microwave as harmful bacte-ria may not be destroyed.• Deep fat fry.• Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.• Operate the oven empty.FOOD

Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervisingperson should be in the same room.The child must be able to reach the oven comfort-ably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swingon the oven door.ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVEChildren should be taught all safety precautions: usepotholders, remove coverings carefully, pay specialattention to packages that crisp food because they maybe extra hot.Don’t assume that because a child has mastered onecooking skill he/she can cook everything.Children need to learn that the microwave oven isnot a toy. See page 32 for Child Lock feature.The following coverings are ideal:• Paper towels are good for covering foods forreheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwaveuse can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOTallow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steamcan escape.• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choicebecause heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foodsthat need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties.Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothlyon the food can be used to shield areas that areeither defrosting or cooking too quickly.• Foil should not come closer than one inch to anysurface of the oven.Should you have questions about utensils orcoverings, check a good microwave cookbook orfollow recipe suggestions.ACCESSORIES There are many microwaveaccessories available for purchase.

Follow manufacturer'sdirections.)These items can be used for short time reheatingof 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-tiesShould you wish to check if a dish is safe for micro-waving, place the empty dish in the oven andmicrowave on 100% power for 30 seconds. A dishwhich becomes very hot should not be used.
9INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOWABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towardoutside of dish.• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amountof time indicated and add more as needed. Foodsseverely overcooked can smoke or ignite.• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cook-book for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper,microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers preventspattering and help foods to cook evenly.• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil anythin areas of meats or poultry to prevent overcook-ing before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once ortwice during cooking, if possible.• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speedcooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers.Large items like roasts must be turned over atleast once.... for fresh pork, ground meat,boneless white poultry, fish,seafood, egg dishes andfrozen prepared food.... for leftover, ready-to-reheatrefrigerated, and deli andcarry-out “fresh” food.... white meat of poultry.... dark meat of poultry.160°F• Check foods to see that they are cooked to theUnited States Department of Agriculture’s recom-mended temperatures:ABOUT SAFETY• Always use potholders to prevent burns whenhandling utensils that are in contact with hot food.Enough heat from the food can transfer throughutensils to cause skin burns.• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away fromthe face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge ofa dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn andoven cooking bags away from the face.• Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check cook-ing progress frequently so that there is no chanceof overcooking food.• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks orother items.• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserveits high quality and minimize the spread offoodborne bacteria.• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue cancause arcing and/or fires.• Use care when removing items from the oven sothat the utensil, your clothes or accessories do nottouch the safety door latches.To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in athick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVERleave the thermometer in food during cooking,unless it is approved for microwave oven use.TEMP• Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway throughcooking both from top to bottom and from the centerof the dish to the outside.• Add standing time. Remove food from oven andstir, if possible. Cover for standing time whichallows the food to finish cooking withoutovercooking.• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating thatcooking 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.- Meats and poultry show no pinkness.- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.FOOD165°F170°F180°F

The sensor adjusts the cooking timesand power level for various foods and quantities.Using Sensor Settings1. After oven is plugged in, wait two minutes beforeusing any Sensor setting.2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container andthe interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off anymoisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.3.The oven works with foods at normal storagetemperature. For example, popcorn would be atroom temperature.4. Any Sensor Cooking or Reheating selection canbe programmed with More or Less TimeAdjustment. See page 34.5. More or less food than the quantity listed in thechart should be cooked following the guidelinesin any microwave cookbook.6.During the first part of Sensor Cooking orReheating, SENSING will appear on the display.Do not open the oven door or press STOP/CLEARpad during this part of the cooking cycle. Themeasurement of vapor will be interrupted. If thisoccurs, an error message will appear. To continuecooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and cookmanually.When the sensor detects the vapor emitted fromthe food, remainder of cooking or reheating timewill appear. The door may be opened whenremaining cooking time appears on the display. Atthis time, you may stir or season food, as desired.7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly whencooking or reheating foods, error messages will bedisplayed, and the oven will turn off.8.
