5INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOWABOUT YOUR OVENThis 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 28 and 29 for orderingthe Ultimate Accessory, the SHARP CAROUSELMICROWAVE 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 turn bothclockwise and counterclockwise. See page 11 forcomplete instructions.ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorbthe microwave energy.When using the oven at power levels below 100%, youmay hear the magnetron cycling on and off.The fan will automatically start when heat rises fromrange surface units or burners and when convection,high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used.Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.Room humidity and the moisture in food will influencethe amount of moisture that condenses in the oven.Generally, covered foods will not cause as muchcondensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openingsmust not be blocked.The oven is for food preparation only. It should not beused to dry clothes or newspapers.Your oven is rated 850 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.Eggs, sausages,fruits &vegetablesPopcornBaby foodGeneralABOUT FOOD•Puncture egg yolks before cookingto prevent “explosion”.•Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,squash, hot dogs and sausages sothat steam escapes.• Use specially bagged popcorn for themicrowave oven.•Listen while popping corn for thepopping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds oruse special POPCORN pad.•Transfer baby food to small dish andheat carefully, stirring often.

6ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING•Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towardsoutside of dish.•Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amountof time indicated and add more as needed. Foodseverely 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 meat or poultry to prevent overcookingbefore dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.•Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twiceduring cooking, if possible.•Turn foods over once during microwaving tospeed cooking of such foods as chicken and ham-burgers. Large items like roasts must be turned overat least once.INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW•Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfwaythrough cooking both from top to bottom and fromthe center of the dish to the outside.•Add standing time. Remove food from oven andstir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allowsthe food to finish cooking without overcooking.•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.- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.•Check foods to see that they are cooked to theUnited States Department of Agriculture'srecommended temperatures.To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in athick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVERleave the thermometer in the food during cooking,unless it is approved for microwave oven use.•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 checkcooking progress frequently so that there is nochance of 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.

14MICROWAVE FEATURESUsing Sensor Settings:MANUAL DEFROSTIf the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on theCompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limits inthe “Amount” column on the chart, you need to defrostmanually.You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ-ously cooked, by using power level 3. Follow the exact3-step procedure found under To Set Power Level onpage 12. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30%when you select the power level.For either raw or previously cooked frozen food, therule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound.For example, defrost 5 minutes for 2-3 cups of casse-role or 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.Always stop the oven periodically to remove orseparate the portions that are defrosted. If food is notdefrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time,program the oven in 1 minute increments on powerlevel 3 until totally defrosted.When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrostonly long enough to remove from the plastic in order toplace food in a microwave-safe dish.SENSOR COOKINGSharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device thatdetects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted fromthe food as it heats. The Sensor adjusts the cookingtimes and power level for various foods and quantities.It takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.1. Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F.2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking containerand the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off anymoisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.3. Sensor cooking can only be entered within 1 minuteafter cooking, opening and closing the door ortouching the STOP/CLEAR pad.4. During the first part of sensor cooking, , , , , , , , , or will appear on display.

When sensor detects the vaporemitted from the food, remainder of cooking timewill appear. Door may be opened when remainingcooking time appears on display. At this time, youmay stir or season food, as desired.5. Check food for doneness after cooking with sensorsettings. If additional time is needed, continue tocook with variable power and time.6. If the sensor does not detect vapor, willappear and the oven will shut off.7. At the end of any cycle, open oven door or touchSTOP/CLEAR pad. The time of day will reappearon the display.8. Any sensor setting can be programmed with Moreor Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.Selecting Foods:1. The sensor works with foods at normal storagetemperature. For example, foods for reheating wouldbe at refrigerator temperature and potatoes for bak-ing would be room temperature.2. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chartsshould be cooked by time and variable power.Covering Foods:Some foods work best when covered. Use the coverrecommended in the Sensor Cooking chart for thesefoods.1. Casserole lid.2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended formicrowave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allowapproximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered toallow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should nottouch food.3. Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excessfat and moisture when cooking bacon and potatoes.Line the turntable when baking potatoes.4. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrapunder dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper,overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.ERRORERRORHARDVEGENTREE HOT DOGS
