8DISH 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.INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOWABOUT STEAM COOKINGThere 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 Steam (Healthy Cooking*, Steam Cook High, Steam Cook Low).*Except for Auto Grill • Always attend the oven when in use.• Use utensils/cookware suitable for the cooking mode as described on page 7.• Ventilate the room to allow the steam to dissipate.• After cooking and the oven has cooled, remove and empty the water tank, wipe oven cavity with a soft cloth or sponge. Empty the drip tray. Ensure food is arranged evenly. Food which has little or no space between will take longer to cook, please ensure food is positioned with enough space between items to allow the steam to circulate around it. For the container, a shallow dish is suitable. It is not recommended to use dense dishes, because of the thickness of such dishes, recommended cooking times will have to be extended. Covering is not necessary in most cases. If a cover is required, aluminum foil is recommended to keep food from becoming wet from the condensed water in the oven cavity. Covered food will take longer to cook.For accurate cooking times, keep the door closed.Sometimes soups or casseroles reheated without covering look watery after cooking. Appearance will be better if stirred well.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.ContainerCoveringDoorStirStandCooking TechniquesFOR STEAM COOKINGUtensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in each cooking mode. When heating food in plastic containers, pay special attention to the melting temperature of the containers. Never heat the plastic containers at over their melting temperature. Keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of melting and ignition.SEC AX1100S_en.indd Sec1:8SEC AX1100S_en.indd Sec1:8 10.11.16 2:52:59 PM10.11.16 2:52:59 PM
9INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW• 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.DensityQuantitySizeShapeTemperature of FoodSeasoning andFlavoringFood CharacteristicsFood density will affect the amount of cooking time. Cut the food into thinner parts, if possible, and arrange in single layer.The cooking time must be increased as the amount increases.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.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.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 or fl avoring are best added after cooking. If added as marinades or rubs, the taste may become less pronounced when cooking with steam. Add seasoning or fl avoring again after cooking, if necessary.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. • Do not remove the food from the oven with your bare hand. • Check the temperature of food and drink and stir before serving. • Take special care when serving to babies, children or the elderly.FOR STEAM COOKING* ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.* Your oven is rated 900 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 infl uence 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.ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING* 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 fi nish 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 fl akes easily with a fork.SEC AX1100S_en.indd Sec1:9SEC AX1100S_en.indd Sec1:9 10.11.16 2:52:59 PM10.11.16 2:52:59 PM
10INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOWABOUT CHILDRENChildren below the age of 7 should use the oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the oven door.Children should be taught all safety precautions.Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.Children need to learn that the oven is not a toy. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the oven.DON’T* Cook eggs in shells.* Reheat whole eggs.* Dry nuts or seeds in shells.* Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.* Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.* Heat baby food in original jars.* Heat disposable bottles.* Heat bottles with nipples on.* Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight containers.* Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed.* Deep fat fry.* Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.DO* Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent “explosion”.* Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.* Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave oven.* Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use SENSOR POPCORN for “no-guess” popping.* Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving.* Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before feeding.* Cut baked goods with fi lling after heating to release steam and avoid burns.* Stir liquid briskly before and after heating to avoid “eruption”.* Use deep bowl when cooking liquid or cereal to prevent boilovers.Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetablesPopcornBaby foodGeneralABOUT FOOD WHEN USING THE MICROWAVE MODE• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.ABOUT SAFETY... for beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or roasts, fi sh... for fresh pork, ground meat, fish, seafood, egg dishes, frozen prepared food and beef, lamb or veal cut into steaks, chops or roasts... for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, deli and carry out “fresh” food, whole chicken or turkey, chicken or turkey breasts and ground poultry used in chicken or turkey burgers.

11INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW• 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, accessories and especially the grill heating element) 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.• Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.• 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 water tank 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 fl oor. Dry any liquid residue with a sponge and wipe out to keep the oven clean.• Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation.• Do not move the oven during the operation. If the oven needs to be moved, always drain all water inside the oven using the DRAIN WATER function (See page 16).

14IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONSREAD CAREFULLY BEFORE COOKING WITH STEAMWATER TANKTo fi ll the water tank with fresh cold tap water is a must for cooking with steam. Be sure to follow the directions below.1. Pull the water tank toward you to remove. (Figure 1)2. Wash the water tank and lid for the fi rst time. 3. Open the lid and fi ll the water tank with fresh cold tap water to the MAX mark each time you begin to cook. (Figure 2) Do not fi ll the water tank over the MAX mark.4. Make sure the lid is closed fi rmly. (Figure 3)5. Install the water tank by pushing fi rmly. (Figure 4)6. After cooking, empty the water tank and wash the water tank and the lid.NOTES:1. Do not use any other liquids like distilled water, R.O water, mineral water and etc.2. An insuffi cient amount of water in the water tank may cause an undesired result.3. We recommend that you empty the water tank every time after cooking. Do not leave the water tank fi lled with water in the oven over a day. 4. If “Err, WATER (fl ashing)” is shown in the display during Steam cooking, refer to Troubleshooting Chart on page 33. The message will not appear in Descale function.5. Do not drop or damage the water tank. Heat may cause the water tank to change shape. Do not use a damaged water tank. Call 1-800-BE-SHARP to purchase a replacement part.6. There may be a few water drops when removing the water tank. Wipe the oven dry with a soft cloth.7. Do not block the air holes on the lid of the water tank. It will cause trouble during cooking.DRIP TRAYBe sure to cook with drip tray in position and follow the directions below.The drip tray is packed with the oven. Place the drip tray under the oven door as shown in Figure 4. This drip tray collects the condensation from the oven door. To remove the drip tray: Pull the drip tray toward you with both hands.* Make sure water is not dripping down before removing the drip tray.To replace the drip tray: Place the drip tray onto the right and left hooks under the oven and push fi rmly as shown in Figure 4. Insert the drip tray horizontally when you attach it. Improper use may cause the damage to the hooks.Empty the drip tray after each time you cook. Empty, rinse thoroughly, dry and replace. Failure to empty may cause the drip tray to overfl ow. Cooking repeatedly without emptying the drip tray may cause it to overfl ow.WARNINGS:1. The oven will become very hot after cooking and draining water function.2. Do not open the oven with your face close to the oven. Steam from the oven may cause burns.3. Make sure that the oven has cooled before emptying the water tank and the drip tray and then wipe the oven cavity.4. Do not touch the water directly as water in the drip tray may be hot.Figure 2 Figure 4Figure 1Figure 4Drip trayHooksFigure 3SEC AX1100S_en.indd Sec1:14SEC AX1100S_en.indd Sec1:14 10.11.17 8:46:03 AM10.11.17 8:46:03 AM
15IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONSBefore cooking1. Make sure the water tank is fi lled with fresh cold tap water and is installed. (See page 14.)2. Make sure the empty drip tray is installed. (See page 14.)3. Place food in the oven. Make sure to place the glass tray in lower position (position 2) for cooking with steam mode.After Cooking1.

Be aware that the grill heating element and steam outlets may be still hot, so take care when wiping the ceiling and cavity back plate. (The grill heating element will turn on for a very short time before the end of the cooking.) Empty the drip tray.2. Perform the Drain Water function at least once a day after using Healthy Cooking (except for Auto Grill), Steam Cook High and Steam Cook Low.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 water tank is removed.4. During and after cooking, condensed water may be on the door, oven walls and oven fl oor. Dry any liquid residue with a soft cloth. After the last use of the day, we recommend to operate the oven with Grill for 3 minutes without food and accessories for drying the water off around grill heating element.WARNING: Do not open the oven with your face close to the oven. Steam from the oven may cause burns.NOTE: Keep the door closed. If opened during cooking, steam will escape and a longer cooking time will be required.STEAM IN AUTOMATIC AND MANUAL COOKINGSEC AX1100S_en.indd Sec1:15SEC AX1100S_en.indd Sec1:15 10.11.16 2:53:02 PM10.11.16 2:53:02 PM
16IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONSPerform the Drain Water function at least once a day after cooking with steam.

21AUTOMATIC COOKINGSharp'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 cooking with Sensor function.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 29.5. 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 cooking with Sensor function, selected food number 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 in the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly, Err 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 repeat cooking with Sensor function again as food may overcook.Covering Foods:Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the chart.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. Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.* Suppose you want to pop a regular size popcorn with Standard time.SENSOR POPCORN CHARTFOOD PROCEDUREAMOUNTPopcorn 1.

Press Minute Plus/START.5MANUAL DEFROSTIf the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the MICRO DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the MICRO DEFROST CHART below, you need to defrost manually.You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under MICROWAVE on page 28.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.MICRO DEFROST CHARTRemove any thawed pieces after each stage. Let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.FOOD PROCEDUREAMOUNT1. Ground meat 0.5 - 2.0 lbAfter each stage, rearrange and if there are warm or thawed portions, shield with small fl at pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any meat or fi sh that is nearly defrosted.
