ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
ARRANGE FOOD CAREFULLY
Place the thickest parts of the food toward the outside of the dish.
WATCH COOKING TIME
When following recipes or package instructions, check food for
doneness a minute or two before the minimum time and add
time as needed.
COVER FOODS WHILE COOKING
Covers prevent spattering and help foods cook evenly. Check
cookbooks and recipes for cover suggestions, such as paper
towels, wax paper, microwave-safe plastic wrap or lids. See
ABOUT MICROWAVE UTENSILS on page 8.
STIR FOODS REGULARLY
Stir foods once or twice during microwaving. Whenever pos-
sible, stir from the outside to the center of the dish.
TURN OVER FOODS
Turn over foods such as chicken and hamburgers at least once
during microwaving to speed cooking. Large items like roasts
must be turned over at least once.
REARRANGE FOODS
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through microwav-
ing by moving pieces from top to bottom and from left to right.
ADD STANDING TIME
Standing time allows cooking to nish without overcooking
food. After microwave cooking, remove food, stir if possible
and cover for standing time.
CHECK FOR DONENESS
Look for signs indicating the cooking temperature has been
reached. Doneness signs include:
• food steams throughout, not just at edges
• center of the dish's underside is very hot to the touch
• poultry thigh joints move easily
• meat and poultry show no pinkness
• sh is opaque and akes easily with a fork
Use a meat thermometer to check if foods are cooked to the safe
temperature. See ABOUT FOOD SAFETY on page 8.
ABOUT MICROWAVE SAFETY

ABOUT SENSOR COOKING
• Wait two minutes after initially plugging in the appliance
before using a Sensor setting.
• Wipe off any moisture from the exterior of the food container
and the interior of the microwave cavity before using a
Sensor setting.
• The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature.
For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
• Foods of different quantities than listed on the menu label
can be cooked manually according to instructions found in
any microwave cookbook.
• During the rst part of sensor use, the food name appears
on the display. Do not open the Sharp Microwave Drawer
™
Oven or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cycle,
as the measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If the cycle
is interrupted,
ERROR
appears on the display. To continue
cooking, touch STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.
• When the sensor detects vapor emitted from food, the remain-
ing cooking/reheating time appears on the display. At this
time, the Sharp Microwave Drawer
™
Oven may be opened
to allow for stirring or seasoning of food.
• If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking
foods (except popcorn),
ERROR
appears on the display. To
continue cooking, touch STOP/CLEAR pad and cook
ma nually.
• Check food temperature after cooking. If more time is
needed, continue to cook manually.

MANUAL DEFROST
To defrost other foods or quantities of foods than the ones listed
on the Defrost Chart, defrost manually. Use power level 30%
to defrost any frozen food, whether raw or previously cooked.
Most frozen foods, whether raw or previously cooked, defrost
in approximately 4 minutes per pound of food. For example,
to defrost 1 pound of spaghetti sauce, defrost for 4 minutes; to
defrost 3 pounds of cookie batter, defrost for 12 minutes.
Periodically pause the microwave oven to remove or separate
the defrosted portions.
If food is still frozen at the end of the estimated time, set the
power level to 30% again and defrost in 1-minute increments
until totally defrosted. If frozen food is in plastic containers,
defrost only long enough to remove food from plastic and place
it in a microwave-safe dish.
DEFROST MANUALLY
Estimate defrosting time based on the weight of the food
(approximately 4 minutes per pound).

MICROWAVE COOKING
BEVERAGE
Use the Beverage feature to reheat coffee or tea to a suitable
drinking temperature or make instant coffee, tea or hot cereal.
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea, can be overheated beyond
the boiling point without appearing to boil, due to surface tension
of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container
is removed from the Sharp Microwave Drawer™ Oven is not
always present. This could result in VERY HOT LIQUIDS
suddenly boiling over when a spoon or other utensil is inserted
into the liquid.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons when heating liquids:
• Do not overheat liquids.
• Stir liquids both before and halfway through heating.
• Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use
wide-mouthed containers.
• After heating allow the container to stand in the Sharp
Microwave Drawer™ Oven for at least 20 seconds before
removing.
• Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into
liquids after heating.
KEEP WARM
Use the Keep Warm feature to keep food warm for up to 30
minutes. The feature can be used directly or in sequence with

CLEANING AND CARE
EXTERIOR
The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean the
outside with mild soap and water, then 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 damp soft cloth and
polished with a dry soft cloth to maintain its beauty. There is
also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and
shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend 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 damp soft cloth to remove
any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if
wiped frequently with a damp soft cloth. Avoid the use of spray
and other harsh cleaners, as they may stain, streak or dull the
drawer surface.
TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
The touch-pads may be deactivated before cleaning the control
panel. To lock the control panel, touch and hold
pad for 3
seconds.
LOCK ON
appears on the display.
Wipe the panel with a soft cloth slightly damped with water
only, then wipe dry with a dry soft cloth. Do not scrub or use
any sort of chemical cleaners.
To unlock the control panel, Touch and hold
pad for 3 seconds.
LOCK OFF
appears on the display. Touch STOP/CLEAR pad.
INTERIOR
Cleaning the interior is easy because no heat is generated to
interior surfaces, thus there is no baking and setting of spills or
spattering. To prevent the drawer closing and opening during
cleaning, lock the control panel.
To clean interior surfaces, including drawer sealing surfaces,
wipe with a damp soft cloth. For heavier soil, use mild soap and
wipe clean with a damp soft cloth.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH
CLEANERS, CHEMICAL OVEN CLEANERS OR SCOUR-
ING PADS.
DRAWER
GUIDES
Remove the food crumbs from the drawer guides. Wipe with a
dry soft cloth keep the Sharp Microwave Drawer
™
Oven opening
and closing smoothly.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
ATTENTION
The waveguide cover, located on the inside top
of the Sharp Microwave Drawer
™
Oven area, is made from
mica, so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover
clean to assure good microwave performance. Use a damp
soft cloth to carefully wipe any food spatters from the surface
of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes
may overheat and cause smoke or catch re. Do not remove
the waveguide cover.
ODOR REMOVAL
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the Sharp Micro-
wave Drawer
™
Oven. 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 Sharp Microwave
Drawer
™
Oven until water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
