WARNING  
Read all instructions before using the appliance.  
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.  
d. Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated in disposable containers made of plastic,  
paper or other combustible materials for signs of smoke or burning.  
e. If materials inside the oven should ignite, or smoke is observed, keep oven door closed, turn oven  
off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.  
To reduce the risk of explosion and sudden boiling:  
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, When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container and stand about 20 seconds at the  
end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.  
This oven is for home food preparation only and should only be used for heating, cooking and defrosting food  
and beverage.  
It is not suitable for commercial, laboratory use, or heating therapeutic devices eg. Wheat bags.  
Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.  
Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself because of hazard. The oven must be adjusted or repaired  
by a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.

SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY SHARP. And it must be replaced by a qualified service technician  
trained by SHARP.  
If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.

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.  
Use to cover foods:  
TOMATO  
EGG  
6. STANDING TIME  
LID  
PLASTIC WRAP  
PAPER TOWEL  
5. SHIELDING  
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.  
8. SIZE  
7. STIRRING  
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.  
FISH  
CHICKEN  
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during  
cooking if possible.  
Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.  
10. FAT AND BONE  
9. DENSITY  
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.  
Thedepthtowhichmicrowavespenetratefoodvariesdependingonthefood's  
density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes microwave faster  
than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.  
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE  
12. QUANTITY  
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.  
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.  
13.CONDENSATION  
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.
