MICROWAVE DRAWER COOKING

TIME COOKING

Your Microwave Drawer can be programmed for 99 minutes 99 seconds (99.99). Always enter the seconds after the minutes, even if they are both zeros.

Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%.

1. Enter cooking time
2. To cook at 100% power (High), touch START/+30 SEC pad.

TO SET POWER LEVEL

There are eleven preset power levels.

Using lower power levels increases the cooking time, which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long slow cooking of meats. Consult a microwave cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations.

Suppose you want to defrost for 5 minutes at 30%.

1. Enter defrost time .
2. Touch POWER LEVEL pad 8 times.
3. Touch START/+30 SEC pad.

SENSOR SETTINGS

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 levels for various foods and quantities.

USING SENSOR SETTINGS:

1. After the Microwave Drawer is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using any sensor setting.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the Microwave Drawer are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
4. Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
6. During the first part of sensor use, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the Microwave Drawer or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.
   When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking/reheating time will appear. The Microwave Drawer may be opened when the remaining time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
7. Except for Popcorn, if the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods, ERROR will be displayed, and the microwave will turn off.
8. Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch the TIMER/ SETTINGS pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display

COVERING FOODS:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the charts for these foods. You may refer to the hints by touching the TIMER/SETTINGS pad.

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.

SENSOR

POPCORN, REHEAT, COOK

You can cook or reheat many foods and don’t need to calculate cooking time or power level.

Suppose you want to cook baked potatoes.

1. Touch Cook pad once.
2. See Menu Label. Select desired food by touching number pad. Ex: Touch for baked potatoes.
3. Touch START/+30 SEC pad.

Note: To heat or cook other foods or foods above or below the quantity allowed on the chart, cook manually.

DEFROST

Use this feature to defrost the foods shown in the DEFROST CHART below.

1. Touch DEFROST pad.
2. See Menu Label. Select desired food by touching the number pad. Ex: Touch for steaks/chops.
3. Enter weight by touching number pads.
4. Touch START/+30 SEC pad.
   The oven will stop so that the food can be checked.
5. After the first stage, open the Microwave Drawer. Turn steak over and shield any warm portions. Close the Microwave Drawer. Touch START/+30 SEC pad.
6. After the second stage, open the Microwave Drawer. Shield any warm portions. Close the Microwave Drawer. Touch START/+30 SEC pad.
7. After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand as indicated in the chart below.

Note:

• Defrost can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment.
• To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights allowed on the DEFROST CHART, see MANUAL DEFROST below.
• Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not cook until all ice crystals are thawed.
• Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

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, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using POWER LEVEL at 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under TO SET POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time and touch POWER LEVEL pad eight times for 30% power.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 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.

CLEANING AND CARE

EXTERIOR

The outside surface is precoated metal and glass. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE

The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on to it. Follow package directions carefully.

FRONT SIDE OF THE DRAWER

Wipe the window on both sides with a soft 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 drawer surface.

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning. See the Control Lock information. 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 drawer and follow directions for turning Control Lock off. Touch STOP/CLEAR.

INTERIOR

Before cleaning the Microwave Drawer, touch and hold the STOP/CLEAR button for 3 seconds to lock the control pad and the automatic door mechanism. The drawer can be locked in either the open or closed position. The display will show . This will prevent the drawer from accidentally opening or closing during cleaning. After cleaning, touch and hold the STOP/CLEAR button for 3 seconds to turn the lock off. The display will show .

Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, including drawer sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.

MICROWAVE DRAWER GUIDES

Remove the food crumbs from the Microwave Drawer guides. Wipe with a soft dry cloth in order to keep the Microwave Drawer opening and closing smoothly.

WAVEGUIDE COVER

ATTENTION The waveguide cover, located on the inside top of the Microwave Drawer area, is made from mica, so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a soft damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

ODOR REMOVAL

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the Microwave Drawer. To remove odor, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of one lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass microwave-safe measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Leave in the Microwave Drawer until water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
