ABOUT YOUR OVEN
Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, Super
Steam Ovens have a tendency to become hot during
cooking with SuperSteam Convection, Convection
or Steam.
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
The Sharp SuperSteam Oven Cookbook is a
valuable asset. Check it frequently for cooking
principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
ABOUT COOKING OPTIONS
Your oven has a variety of cooking options that are divided into automatic and manual. SuperSteam Convection,
Steam and Microwave have both automatic and manual choices. Convection has only manual.
SuperSteam Convection
SuperSteam is combined with convection heating, which can roast or broil foods and allow excess fats to be
removed. These foods retain moisture. Meats and poultry are brown, juicy and flavorful.
Steam
Steam only gently cooks foods such as vegetables, fish, seafood and poached eggs while retaining moisture,
natural flavors and nutrients.
Convection
Convection browns, bakes, broils and crisps a wide variety of foods. Cookies, cakes, breads, muffins, biscuits and
rolls can be baked on one or two levels. There are no automatic settings for convection. Refer to your SuperSteam
Cookbook or to Convection in Manual Operations.
Microwave
Microwave is fast and convenient for cooking, defrosting and popping popcorn. With Sensor Reheat, Sensor Cook
and Sensor Popcorn, it is unnecessary to enter amount. The sensor eliminates guesswork.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave
on 100% power for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave or heat-resistant 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 when using
microwave-only cooking. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.
For automatic cooking, use the recommended container in the cooking chart in this operation manual or the
cookbook.
ABOUT SUPER STEAM CONVECTION AND STEAM COOKING
There are certain techniques for cooking with steam. It is essential that these techniques are followed for good
results. Many of them are similar to those used in conventional cooking so may require little change. Note information
in all of the charts in the cookbook for all cooking options that use SuperSteam Convection (Roast, Convenience
Foods, Broil) and Steam (Cook, Reheat, Keep Warm and Proof).
•
•
•
•
•
Always attend the oven when in use.
Use utensils/cookware suitable for the cooking mode as described on page 6.
Ventilate the room to allow the steam to dissipate.
Refer to the charts in the SuperSteam Oven Cookbook for recommended cooking settings and times.
After cooking and the oven has cooled, remove and empty the reservoir, wipe oven cavity with a soft
cloth or sponge, remove and empty the drip tray.
FOR STEAM COOKING
Cooking Techniques
Baking Tray •
High Rack •
Steam Basket
Place food in steam basket on high rack in baking tray so steam reaches all sides
and cooking is even. For faster cooking, use upper level in oven. Foods crowded
together will take longer to cook, so position with enough space between items to
allow the steam to circulate.
Covering
Covering is not necessary in most cases. If a cover is required, aluminum foil is
recommended to keep food from becoming wet.
Door
For accurate cooking times, keep the door closed.
Stir
Sometimes soups or casseroles reheated without covering look watery after cooking.
Appearance will be better if stirred well.
Stand
Standing time is recommended after cooking to allow heat to disperse equally throughout the food. Do not allow to stand in the oven for a long time; food may be overcooked or wet from the residual steam.
Cooking Hints
Steam mode can be used to blanch vegetables to prepare them for freezing.
Place the prepared vegetables in the steam basket on the high rack in the baking tray.
Use upper level in oven. Press Steam, MANUAL and desired time 4 - 5 minutes. Press
START. After steaming, put in cold water to cool quickly. Drain and then freeze.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
FOR SUPER STEAM CONVECTION AND STEAM COOKING
Food Characteristics
Density
Food density will affect the amount of cooking time. Cut the food into thinner parts, if
possible, and arrange in single layer.
Quantity
The cooking time must be increased as the amount increases.
Size
Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as heat can penetrate from all
sides to the center. For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.
Shape
Foods which are irregular in shape, such as chicken breasts or drumsticks, may take
longer to cook in the thicker parts. Check that these parts are cooked thoroughly before
serving.
Temperature of Food
The initial temperature of food affects the cooking time. Chilled foods will take longer to
cook than foods at room temperature. The temperature of the container is not the actual
temperature of the food or drink.
Seasoning and
Flavoring
Seasoning or flavoring are best added after cooking. If added as marinades or rubs, the
taste may become less pronounced when cooking with steam. Add seasoning or flavoring again after cooking, if necessary.
• Check that food is thoroughly cooked/reheated before serving.
• Cooking time will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the size, shape
and material of the container.
• Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire.
CAUTION:
Always use dry pot holders or oven mitts to remove food or utensils from the oven. Be careful when
opening the oven door to allow steam to dissipate.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.
Your oven is rated 700 watts using the IEC Test
Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,
check food at the minimum time and add time
accordingly.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence
the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven.
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much
condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the
oven back must not be blocked.
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas toward
outside of dish.
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount
of time indicated and add more as needed. Foods
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 or turkey breasts must be
turned over at least once.
Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through
cooking both from top to bottom and from the center
of the dish to the outside.
Add standing time. Remove food from oven 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.

• To prevent condensation, which could corrode the
appliance, do not leave cooked food in the oven for
an extended period.
• Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any
food deposits in the oven or on the door.
• Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying.
• 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. In SuperSteam
Convection, Steam and Convection modes, cabinet,
interior and door may be too hot to touch.
• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch
away from walls, ceiling and door for microwave
cooking.
• Do not pour cold water on the ceramic oven floor after
cooking as it might break.
• Do not pour cold water on the door as it might break.
• Do not touch hot surfaces.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended
by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• The oven should not be left unattended during
operation. Oven temperatures that are too high or
cooking times that are too long may overheat foods
resulting in a fire.
• Do not insert fingers or objects in the steam outlets or
air vent openings, as this may damage the oven and
cause an electric shock or a hazard.
• If any objects drop inside the air vent openings, turn
off the oven immediately, unplug and consult a Sharp
Authorized Servicer.
• Do not touch the plug with wet hands when inserting
or removing from the outlet. Plug securely into the
electric wall receptacle and remove by gripping on
the plug end. Never pull using just the cord.
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 oven use.
• Accessible parts (e.g. oven door, oven cavity, dishes
and accessories) may become hot during use. Use
dry pot holders or oven mitts when removing
container, food and oven accessories from the oven
and be careful not to touch the oven cavity to prevent
burns.
• Use care when opening door. Avoid steam burns by
directing steam away from the face and hands.
Always stand back from the oven when opening it.
• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or
other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne
bacteria.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the door projection.
• Do not touch around the oven light. This part will
become hot when the oven light is on.
• To avoid burns, always be careful of splashing
grease from the baking tray when removing roasted
or broiled meats from the oven.
• To avoid burns, always test food and container
temperature and stir before serving. Pay special
attention to the temperature of containers, foods
and drinks. Do not drink beverage or soup without
checking the container’s temperature.
• Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear
cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings,
accessories, dishes and the escaping steam from
the air vent openings during operation because they
will become hot.
• Do not operate the oven if reservoir cracks and
water leaks. Call 1-800-BE-SHARP to purchase a
replacement part.
• After use, condensed water may be inside oven
cavity, especially on the oven floor. Dry any liquid
residue with a soft cloth and wipe out to keep the oven
clean.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
SUPER STEAM CONVECTION & STEAM IN
AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL COOKING
Before cooking
1. Make sure the reservoir is filled with fresh cold tap water and is installed. (See page 13.)
2. Make sure the empty drip tray is installed. (See page 13.)
3. Place food in the oven unless preheating is needed. (Refer to each chart to check if preheating in required in
automatic operations.)
After Cooking
1. After the oven has cooled, remove and empty the reservoir, wipe oven cavity, remove and empty the drip tray.
2. Perform the Drain Water function at least once a day after using SuperSteam Convection or Steam mode.
3. Check that water is not dripping down before removing the drip tray, as a small amount of water drains into the drip
tray when the reservoir is removed.
DRAIN WATER FUNCTION
PROCEDURE
Perform the Drain Water function at least once a day after
using SuperSteam Convection or Steam mode. It takes
from 1 to 8 minutes.
Drain Water function is very useful to keep oven clean, to
prevent scale build up and the use of stale water. It causes
evaporation of the internal steam system.
Set the empty drain tank in baking tray
on upper level in the oven.
Citric acid, available at some drugstores, or
bottled lemon juice with no pulp are used for
descaling. Choose one and prepare the
descaling solution.
To use citric acid, dissolve 1 tablespoon of
citric acid crystals in 2 1/4 cups of water in a
non-porous container. Stir well and pour into
the reservoir.
To use 100% bottled lemon juice, check that
there is absolutely no pulp in it. If there is pulp
or you are not sure, strain through a fine
strainer. Measure 1/3 cup of the strained lemon
juice and add it to 2 1/4 cups of water. Stir well
and pour into the reservoir.
Place the reservoir in the oven correctly and
push firmly into place.
Press Back/Info,
turn the Dial to
select DESCALE
and press Enter.
Do not place any food in the oven.
Press START to begin descaling.
When the oven stops with the audible signal, a
message will appear in the display.
Empty the drain tank and
replace. Remove reservoir and
refill with cold tap water up to
the MAX mark. Press START.
Rinsing will start.
When rinsing has ended and the oven has
cooled, remove and empty the drain tank,
remove and empty the reservoir, wipe oven
cavity, remove and empty the drip tray.
PROCEDURE
Press Back/Info,
turn the Dial to
select DRAIN
WATER and press
Enter.
Make sure the reservoir is
removed and press START.
After the oven has cooled, remove and empty
the reservoir, wipe oven cavity, remove and
empty the drip tray.
NOTE:
The reservoir must be removed for the Drain Water
function. If the reservoir is not removed, Drain Water
function does not start.
DESCALE FUNCTION
White or gray grains, also called scale, may form in
the water circuit inside the oven during steam
generation, which could cause the oven to malfunction.
When DESCALING NECESSARY is shown in the
display, be sure to carry out Descale function
immediately. It takes about 1 hour.

Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the Sensor Cook chart for these foods.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately 1/2-inch to remain uncovered to allow
steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap
under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper,overlap
two pieces at least one inch to cover.
Microwave has 3 sensor options, Sensor Reheat,
Sensor Cook and Sensor Popcorn and 2 non-sensor
options, Reheat and Defrost. Refer to the Microwave
Chart for details.
NOTES:
1. After cooking, the display may show "Now cooling".
The oven will automatically cool and you will hear the
sound of the cooling fan. The fan may continue to
operate up to 13 minutes depending on the oven and
parts temperature.
2. Do not use the baking tray and metal racks.
Be careful when removing any covering to allow
steam to escape away from you.
MICROWAVE COOKING WITH SENSOR
SENSOR POPCORN
Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects
the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food
as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and
power level for various foods and quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using Sensor Cook.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the
interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with
a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The oven works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, popcorn would be at
room temperature.
4. Any Sensor Cook selection can be programmed with
More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 33.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart
should be cooked following the guidelines in any
microwave cookbook.
6. During the first part of Sensor Cook, SENSING will
appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or
press Stop/Clear during this part of the cooking
cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted.
If this occurs, an error message will appear. To
continue cooking, press Stop/Clear and cook
manually. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted
from the food, the remainder of cooking time will
appear.The door may be opened when remaining
cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you
may stir or season food, as desired.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the
correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor
does not detect vapor properly when cooking other
foods, Error will be displayed, and the oven will turn
off.
8. Check food for temperature or doneness after cooking.
If food is not completely cooked, enter additional
cooking time manually. Do not press Sensor Cook
again as food may overcook.
Sensor Reheat can be set two ways:

MICROWAVE TIME COOKING
* Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%
power level.
MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in
the "Amount" column on the DEFROST CHART on page
25, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level 30%.
Follow the exact 4-step procedure found under
MICROWAVE TIME COOKING.
Estimate defrosting time and select 30% when you
select the power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule
of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For
example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce. Always stop the oven periodically to
remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If
food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated
defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute
increments on Power Level 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost
only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to
place in a microwave-safe dish.
PROCEDURE

CLEANING AND CARE
CLEAN THE OVEN REGULARLY. Spatters and
residue remaining from prolonged use, especially at
high temperatures, are hard to clean and may interfere
with good oven operation as well as decrease the
useful life of the oven.
Oven Cleaning - Interior
STEAM CLEAN
The Steam Clean function helps to loosen any grease,
oil or food residue. The steam will make the oven easy
to clean; however, it is not a self-cleaning function. It will
take approximately 20 minutes for the cleaning cycle.
PREPARATION
1. Make sure that the reservoir is filled with fresh cold
tap water and is installed. (See page 13.)
2. Make sure that the empty drip tray is installed. (See
page 13.)
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS:
• DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD IF POSSIBLE.
• ALLOW THE OVEN TO COOL BEFORE
CLEANING.
• DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS OR HARSH
SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF THE OVEN.
• DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER.
PROCEDURE
Oven Cleaning - Exterior
Prepare a solution of mild soap and water, immerse a
soft cloth or sponge into the solution and wring dry.
Wipe exterior. Do not use any type of harsh abrasive
cleaner. Rinse cloth or sponge in warm water and wring
dry. Wipe exterior again and polish dry.
Press Back/Info, turn the
Dial to select STEAM
CLEAN and press
START.
Allow the oven to cool to prevent the burns. Then open
the door and remove any residue carefully with soft,
damp cloth. Finally, remove and empty the reservoir and
drip tray. Replace both.
Door
To remove all traces of dirt, regularly clean both sides
of the door with a soft damp cloth. Do not use harsh,
abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the
oven door glass since they can scratch the surface,
which may result in shattering of the glass. Polish with
another soft cloth.
To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and
warm water.
1. After every use while the oven is still warm, wipe
spatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS
OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild
soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. Carry out Steam
Clean function to clean thoroughly.
2. The cleaning cloth or sponge must be wrung dry to
prevent moisture or residue from entering the oven
vents.
3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.
4. Any remaining food or fat could cause smoke or an
unpleasant smell. It is a good idea to heat the oven
with SuperSteam Convection Broil in manual
operation for 20 minutes without preheat and food
(See CLEAN THE OVEN BEFORE FIRST USE on
page 16) to remove any fat or residue from the interior
ducts and heaters and unpleasant smell.
Control Panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the control panel. If
the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door
before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened
slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not
scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the
door and press Stop/Clear.
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to
remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier
to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth.
Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they
may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come
together on closing the door, use only mild, non abrasive
soaps, or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth.
See CLEAN THE OVEN BEFORE FIRST
USE on page 16.

CLEANING AND CARE
Door Gasket
Reservoir and Reservoir Lid
The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Always
keep the gasket clean to prevent any damage. If water
condenses inside the door gasket, wipe dry with a soft
cloth. Polish with another soft cloth. Do not use a
chemical or abrasive cleaner on these surfaces. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, pull or move the
gasket. Before cooking, always check that door gasket
is lying smooth and flat. If not, steam will leak from the
door. Do not use SuperSteam Oven if it has a damaged
door gasket as steam would not be contained in the
oven. Consult a Sharp Authorized Service.
After cooking, wash in a mild soap or detergent solution
with a soft damp cloth or sponge, rinse and polish dry.
Do not wash in the dishwasher. Note the filter in the
rear bottom of the reservoir. Use a very soft brush to
remove any build-up in the filter. The filter cannot be
removed nor replaced so special care should be taken
not to tear the mesh of the filter when cleaning it. Do
not use harsh cleaners, sharp metal scrapers or stiff
brushes on the reservoir, reservoir lid and reservoir filter.
Do not use a torn filter. Order replacement. See inside
front cover.
Baking Tray / High Rack / Low Rack / Steam
Basket
Drip Tray and Drip Tray Lid
Empty drip tray after cooking, wash in a mild soap or
detergent solution with a soft damp cloth or sponge,
rinse, polish dry and replace below the oven front. Do
not wash in the dishwasher.
Wash baking tray, high rack, low rack, baking tray and
steam basket after cooking with a mild soap or detergent
solution, rinsing and polishing dry. Do not use harsh
cleaners, sharp metal scrapers or stiff brushes to
prevent damage to the easy clean surface. All the
accessories can be washed in the dishwasher. Place
on the top rack.
Descaling within the Oven’s Steam Parts
During steam production, scale may form in the steam
generator. To remove scale, carry out descale function
when DESCALE IS NECESSARY is shown in the
display. See page 14 for complete instructions.
