IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This oven is designed to be used on a countertop, in a cabinet or built-in. See page 5 for the installation
instructions.
Ensurethereisaminimumoffreespaceabovetheovenof15cm.Seepage5fortheothernecessaryspaces.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.
WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired
by an authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician.
WARNING: Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than an
authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician to carry out any service or repair operation which
involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange
must be made by a service centre approved by SHARP.
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been
scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled
eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the oven. See Page 2. Use only
microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave modes.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked
before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
Failuretomaintaintheoveninacleanconditioncouldleadtodeteriorationofthesurfacethatcouldadversely
affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
See instructions for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts on page 23.
Other warnings
1. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.
c. Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled.
2. To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling when handling the container.
Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly therefore, it is very important
that you select the appropriate cooking time and power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated.
Ifyouareunsureofthecookingtimeandpowerlevelrequired,beginwithlowcookingtimesandpowerlevels
until the food is sufficiently heated evenly throughout.
Additionally:
a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered
to be sealed containers.
b. Do not use excessive amount of time.
c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container.
d. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.
e. Stir the liquid before and during cooking. Use extreme care when handling the container or inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the container.

HINTS
Gently spread chocolate mint evenly over patty cake for a
quick icing.
• To soften honey, remove metal lid from jar and microwave
on HIGH for 30 seconds.
Foil directs microwave energy away from delicate or thin
areas of food, toward areas that need more cooking. It is
essential for even defrosting. Place foil over the thawed
sections, allowing the frozen portions to continue
defrosting.
• Toenhancethecolourandflavourwhenroastingchicken,
mix some brown sugar, honey and a little soy sauce

• Always place the stems of vegetables – e.g. cauliflower,
broccoli – toward the outside of the dish. The stems are
tougher than the flower, so this will ensure even cooking.
• Ice-creamcontainersweremadeforfreezingfoodandare
not suitable for use in a microwave oven.
• Stuffed mushrooms are a terrific idea. Provided the filling
is cooked, twelve mushrooms placed on a layer of paper
towel will take approximately 3 minutes to heat on HIGH.
• To remove odours, place 1-litre water with slice of lemon
or 1 teaspoon vanilla essence in the micro wave.
Cook for 20 minutes on HIGH.
• As microwave cooking time is so quick, food should be
seasoned to taste with herbs and spices after cooking.
• To peel a tomato, pierce the skin with a fork 3-4 times.
Place on a rack and cook for 45-60 seconds on HIGH.
Stand for 3 minutes before peeling.
• Lightly prick the skin of chicken before cooking. This
prevents the loud popping noises.
• Peeling garlic is made easier by placing a clove in the
microwave for 10 seconds on HIGH.
• Pierce the skin of chicken livers with a fork before cooking
to prevent popping of the internal fat. Cover with paper
towel when cooking.
• Remember: When melting chocolate in the microwave
oven, it holds its shape until stirred. Refer to MELT/
SOFTEN MENU GUIDE on page 8 for instructions.
• Jamsandchutneysaregreatwhenmadeinthemicrowave,

COMMONLY ASKED
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
POINTS TO REMEMBER
As a general guide:
HIGH – is ideal for vegetables, fruit, soup, beverages,
bacon and sauces.
MEDIUM HIGH – for roasting lamb, roasting chicken and
fish fillets.
MEDIUM – is for roasting beef, pork and simmering; great
for casseroles or stews and cooking seafood.
MEDIUM LOW – allows you to defrost.
LOW – is used to keep foods warm once they are cooked.
• The more food in the microwave oven, the longer it takes
to cook.
MICROWAVES COOK FROM THE INSIDE OUT. They
certainly do not. Microwaves penetrate foods from the
outside to a depth of about 2.5 cm. Small foods, under 5 cm
in diameter, are penetrated to the centre from all sides. With
large foods, energy creates heat in the outer layer; then the
heat moves to the centre by conduction, as it does
conventionally.Afewfoodsmayappeartocookmoreonthe
inside. One example is an egg. Energy penetrates to the
centre, where the fatty yolk becomes hotter than the white,
and cooks quicker.
•
Reduce liquids in a microwave recipe because there is not
as much evaporation, due to the shorter cooking time.
YOU CAN'T USE METAL IN A MICROWAVE OVEN.
• Reduce seasonings slightly because flavours will be
unbalanced by quantity of liquid. Do not add salt until the
end of the cooking process.
• Microwaves cook from the outside to the centre, so when
arranging foods always place the thicker or more dense
portions of food at the outside, with the thinner, less-
dense pieces on the inside.
False. Metal reflects microwaves; the oven itself is made of
metal so microwave energy can't escape. Inside the oven,
metalslowscookingbecauseitkeepsenergyfromreaching
parts of the food. You can use the reflective properties of
metal to protect foods which might overcook in some areas.
DISHES DON'T GET HOT IN A MICROWAVE OVEN.
•
Foil can be used in the microwave oven successfully.
Just remember two rules:
Keep your oven mitts handy. A microwave-safe utensil will
not be heated by microwave energy, but it will become hot
from contact with hot food. Heat tends to equalise. A warm
object heats the air around it, like a radiator in a cool room.
When food becomes hot, some of this heat is transferred to
the dish.
(a) There must be at least half of the food
exposed to the microwaves.
(b) Do not let the foil touch the sides of the oven.
Use foil to shield thinner parts of food when defrosting, to
prevent over-cooking and drying out.
• All food continues to cook after it leaves the micro wave
oven because the heat is stored in the food and not in the
oven.
Standing time required will vary according to the volume
and density of food.
e.g. Fish and vegetables – 1-5 minutes
Cakes – 3-10 minutes
Roasts – 10-15 minutes
Cover foods with a lid or foil when standing.
• When reheating foods always cover with a lid, plastic
wrap or paper towel to prevent foods from drying out.
Reheat on MEDIUM for best results.
• Always pierce food that has a membrane – for example
eggs, tomatoes, potatoes and kidneys.
• Remember to cover vegetables with a lid or plastic wrap
when cooking.

COOKWARE AND UTENSIL GUIDE
Utensil
Use
Advice
GLASSWARE/CERAMIC
(HEAT RESISTANT)
GLASSWARE
YES
• Ordinary glass is not suitable for cooking but may be used for short periods for heating foods.
CERAMIC
• Most ovenproof china, and ceramics, are suited.
• Avoid dishes that are decorated with gold or silver leaf.
• Avoid using antique pottery.
• If unsure, check with the manufacturer.
METAL COOKWARE
• Metal cookware should be avoided when cooking in the microwave oven.
• Microwave energy is reflected by metal.
NO
PLASTIC WRAP/
OVEN BAGS
• Plastic wrap can be used to cover food.
YES
• Some shrinkage of the wrap may occur, over an extended cooking time.
• When removing wrap, lift it in such a way to avoid steam burns.
• Do not tie oven bags with metal twist ties, substitute with string.
• For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in contact with the food as it may melt.
MICROWAVE
(
)
SAFE ONLY
ALUMINIUM FOIL
STRAW AND WOOD
PAPER
• Small amounts may be used to shield certain parts of meat and fish when cooking or defrosting.
• Remove food in foil trays, if possible, and place in a microwave safe dish.
• If not possible, place the foil tray onto a heat proof plate allowing 2.5 cm between the walls of the oven.
FOR
SHIELDING
• Excessive over heating of these materials may cause a fire in the microwave oven.
NO
• Paper towels and waxed paper are suitable to use to prevent splatters.
• These are suitable for use when reheating foods or for short cooking times.
YES
PLASTIC COOKWARE
MICROWAVE SAFE
• Ideal for cooking, reheating and defrosting.
• Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. THE ARRANGEMENT
2. TURNING
Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be turned over after half the
cooking time.
3. COVERING
4. PIERCING
Cover foods in the microwave if you would normally cover the food in your
ordinary oven, or to retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables, Casse-
roles, or when Reheating.
Pierce potatoes, eggs, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or membrane to
allow steam to escape.
5. SHIELDING
6. STANDING TIME
Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat, fish
and poultry or edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.
Standing time is important. After cooking or defrosting ensure adequate
standing time. This allows the food to continue cooking or heating. Refer to
cooking guides for each menu or according to manufacturers instructions.
7. STIRRING
8. SIZE
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during
cooking if possible.
Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed up cooking, cut pieces
smaller than 5 cm so microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all sides.
For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.
9. DENSITY
10. FAT AND BONE
Thedepthtowhichmicrowavespenetratefoodvariesdependingonthefood's
density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes microwave faster
than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.
Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking.
Large fatty areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away from meat,
and slows cooking. Centre bones do not affect cooking, but bone on the side
of meat conducts heat to the areas next to it.
12. QUANTITY
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE
Microwave cooking times are directly related to the amount of food in the
oven. Because energy is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a single
piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the energy is divided among several
items, cooking takes more time.
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to heat than food at room tempera-
ture. Cooking times in this book are based on normal storage temperatures.
Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ in temperature, check cooking
result at the minimum time.
13.CONDENSATION
14. GENERAL
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and
moisture in food will influence the amount of condensation in the oven.
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered
foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly
therefore, it is very important that you select the appropriate cooking time and
power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated. If you are unsure
of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times
