(
e.g. wheat bags
)
, slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may
lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.
5. 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.
6. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
7. 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.
8. WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. To avoid burns young children should be kept
away.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a service centre approved
by SHARP in order to avoid a hazard.
12. WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
13. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken
when handling the container.
14. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated on microwave modes since they
may explode, even after microwave heating 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.
15. 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.
16. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave modes.
17. 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.
18. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of
ignition.
19. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any
flames.
20. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
21. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be performed by children without supervision.
22. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition, particularly the inside of the door, cavity and
waveguide cover could cause damage and adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result
in a hazardous situation. This type of damage can void the warranty of the oven.
23. The appliance must not be cleaned with a steam cleaner.
24. See instructions for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts on page 17.

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, care should be taken when handling the
food and container. Your oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly with microwaves,
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 and power levels until the food is sufficiently heated evenly throughout.
Additionally:
a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered
to be sealed containers.
b. Do not use excessive amounts of time.
c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container.
d. Stand for at least 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.
3. Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.
4. Handle with care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do
not touch the latches.
5. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while
the oven is operating.
6. Never tamper with or deactivate the door safety latches.
7. Always use oven gloves to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
8. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.
9. Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the furthest edge of a
dish’s cover including microwave plastic wrap etc., and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags
away from the face.
10. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged, and that it does not run under the oven or over any
hot surfaces or sharp edges.
12. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet.
13. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
14. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

SPECIAL NOTES FOR MICROWAVE
DO DON’T
Eggs, fruits,
nuts, seeds,
vegetables,
sausages and
oysters
* Puncture egg yolks and whites and
oysters before cooking to prevent
“explosion”.
* Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,
squash, hot dogs, sausages and oysters
so that steam escapes.
* Cook eggs in shells. This can cause the
egg to “explode”, which may damage the
oven or cause injury to yourself.
* Cook hard/soft boiled eggs.
* Overcook oysters.
* Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
Popcorn * Use specially bagged popcorn for the
microwave oven.
* Listen while popping corn for the
popping to slow to 1-2 seconds.
* Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or
microwave safe glass bowls.
* Exceed maximum time on popcorn
package.
Baby food * Transfer baby food to small dish and
heat carefully, stirring often. Check for
suitable temperature to prevent burns.
* Remove the screw cap and teat before
warming baby bottles. After warming
shake thoroughly. Check for suitable
temperature.
* Heat disposable bottles.
* Overheat baby bottles.
Only heat until warm.
* Heat bottles with teats on.
* Heat baby food in original jars.
General * Food with filling should be cut after
heating, to release steam and avoid
burns.
* Use a deep microwave safe glass
bowl when cooking liquids or cereals
to prevent boiling over.
* Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air
tight containers.
* Deep fry fat.
* Heat or dry wood, herbs, wet papers,
clothes or flowers.
* Operate the oven without a load
(
i.e. an
absorbing material such as food or water
)
in the oven cavity.
Liquids
(
Beverages
)
* For boiling or cooking liquids see
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
on page 2 to prevent explosion and
delayed eruptive boiling.
* Heat for longer than recommended time.
See REHEATING-FOOD CHART on page
22
.
Canned foods * Remove food from can. * Heat or cook food while in cans.
Sausage rolls,
pies, Christmas
pudding
* Cook for the recommended time.
(
These foods have high sugar and/or fat
contents.
)
* Overcook as they may catch fire.
Meats * Use a microwave proof roasting rack to
collect drained juices.
* Place meat directly on the flatbed for
cooking.
Utensils * Check the utensils are suitable for
MICROWAVE cooking before you use
them.
* Use metal utensils for MICROWAVE
cooking. Metal reflects microwave energy
and may cause an electrical discharge
known as arcing.
Aluminium foil * Use to shield food to prevent over
cooking.
* Watch for sparking. Reduce foil or keep
clear of cavity walls.
* Use too much.
* Shield food close to cavity walls. Sparking
can damage the cavity.
Browning dish * Place a suitable insulator such as a
microwave and heat proof dinner plate
between the flatbed and the browning
dish.
* Exceed the preheating time recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Excessive
preheating can damage internal parts of
the oven.

• 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-cream containers were made for freezing food and
are not suitable for use in a microwave oven.
• Remember: When melting chocolate in the microwave
oven, it holds its shape until stirred. Refer to MELT/
SOFTEN MENU GUIDE on page 4 for instructions.
• Jams and chutneys are great when made in the
microwave, as they retain their colour and flavour.
As cooking time is so short, less evaporation occurs.
Therefore pectin or a jam setting agent is required to
make jam set.
• To obtain more juice from oranges, lemons or limes,
prick skin, microwave 1 minute on HIGH and stand 2
minutes before squeezing.
• Warm jam for a quick glaze. Heat 2-3 tablespoons for
1 minute on HIGH; strain if necessary while hot.
• Soften cream cheese for dips or beating by removing
foil wrapper and cooking for 2 minutes on MEDIUM
LOW.
• To melt marshmallows, place 100 g in a large bowl.
Cook for 1 minute on HIGH.
• To dissolve gelatine, mix 1 teaspoon gelatine with 2
tablespoons water and cook for 50-60 seconds on
HIGH. Stir well.
• To blanch almonds place 100 g in a bowl with 1 cup of
water. Cook for 6 minutes on HIGH.
• If brown sugar becomes hard, simply soften in the
microwave oven. Place a cup at a time in a bowl with
a slice of bread. Cover with plastic wrap and cook for
1 minute on HIGH.
• Soften 6-8 honey-snap biscuits for 1 minute on HIGH.
Shape into base of patty dish for quick tartlet cases.
• Place a chocolate after-dinner mint on top of 6 patty
cakes; arrange cakes evenly on the flatbed. Cook about
1 minute on HIGH, or until chocolate is soft.
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 1 minute.
• Stuffed mushrooms are a terrific idea. Provided the
filling is cooked, twelve mushrooms placed on a layer
of paper towel will take approximately 4 minutes to heat
on HIGH.
• To remove odours, place 1-litre water with slice of
lemon or 1 teaspoon vanilla essence in the microwave.
Cook for 22 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 1-11/2 minutes 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 30 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.
• The flavour of wine in food is highlighted with the short
microwave cooking time, so adjust the quantity to your
taste.
• Tomato sauce can be warmed for 1 minute on HIGH to
give it a pouring consistency.
(
ensure lid is removed.
)
• When cooking sauces in the microwave use less liquid:
the absence of direct heat means sauces do not reduce
as much as stovetop-prepared sauces.
• Rice and pasta cook well in small quantities. Use a
large container to prevent boiling over.
• FOIL. Contrary to popular belief, foil can be used in
the microwave – for shielding, not covering. It must not
come in contact with the walls of the microwave. 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.
• To enhance the colour and flavour when roasting
chicken, mix some brown sugar, honey and a little soy
sauce together and brush both sides of poultry before
and during cooking.
• To blanch vegetables for freezing, place 150 g of
vegetables in a dish with 1 tablespoon of water. Cover
and cook on HIGH for 1/3 of the usual cooking time. After
cooking, immerse immediately in iced water, package,
label, and freeze for up to 3 months.
• Do not add salt to vegetables before cooking, as salt
draws out the moisture and causes vegetables to
toughen.

COMMONLY ASKED
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
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.
A few foods may appear to cook more on the inside.
One example is an egg. Energy penetrates to the
centre, where the fatty yolk becomes hotter than the
white, and cooks quicker.
YOU CAN'T USE METAL IN A MICROWAVE OVEN.
False. Metal reflects microwaves; the oven itself is
made of metal so microwave energy can't escape.
Inside the oven, metal slows cooking because it
keeps energy from reaching 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.
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.
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.
• Reduce liquids in a microwave recipe because there
is not as much evaporation, due to the shorter cooking
time.
• 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.
• Foil can be used in the microwave oven successfully.
Just remember two rules:
(
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 microwave
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.

DEFROSTING
Thawing food, especially meats, using the microwave
oven is not only faster than any other method but it can
also give better results.
Once frozen meat is thawed, it begins to lose its juices.
With a microwave oven you can thaw meat just before
you plan to cook it, thus preserving the quality.
Microwave thawing doesn't mean a lot of fuss, but some
attention is needed to make sure that parts of food do
not start to cook before the centre is thawed. MEDIUM
LOW is fast enough to be convenient but gentle enough
to give good results.
POULTRY
Start thawing poultry breast-side down; shield warm
areas and turn over halfway through defrosting. Let
poultry stand 30 to 60 minutes after thawing, until
giblets and neck can be removed and breast meat
under wings is completely thawed.
CUTS OF MEAT
Break up or separate minced beef, cubed meat, chicken
pieces or fish fillets after one-third of thawing time.
Remove any thawed pieces. Place remainder in baking
dish to complete thawing. Turn over roasts, steaks,
chops or chicken. Separate as soon as possible.
JOINTS
Turn over large roasts halfway through defrosting. As
you turn, touch the meat to find warm areas and shield
these with small pieces of foil. Let roasts stand 30
to 45 minutes after defrosting time. Thaw meats and
poultry only until they can be pierced in the centre with
a skewer. Surface or cavity should feel cool but not icy.
Cook as soon as possible to prevent loss of juices.
REHEATING
Foods reheated in the microwave oven taste freshly
cooked, not reheated. Suit the power level to the food.
A bowl of leftover vegetables can be reheated at HIGH,
while lasagne, which contains sensitive cheese and
cannot be stirred, should be reheated at MEDIUM HIGH
or MEDIUM.
CASSEROLES
Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Stir several
times during reheating, especially if casserole has been
refrigerated. If casserole cannot be stirred, reheat at
MEDIUM.
MEATS
Medium to thin slices reheat best. Cover meat with
sauce or gravy. Cover with microwave plastic wrap to
hold in heat. Reheat on MEDIUM.
PLATES OF FOOD
Arrange food with thickest parts of meat and bulky
vegetables to outside of the plate. Place quick-to-heat
foods in the centre. Cover with microwave plastic wrap.
Reheat on MEDIUM.
VEGETABLES
Wrap large, whole vegetables in microwave plastic
wrap. Cover dishes of vegetables and stir during
reheating, if possible.
TOASTING
ALMONDS
Place 100 g almonds in a glass dish; cook for 4-41/2
minutes on HIGH, or until golden brown. Stir almonds
every minute during cooking.
SESAME SEEDS
Place 1/4 cup sesame seeds in a glass bowl; cook for
3-4 minutes on HIGH, or until golden. Stir every minute.
RECONSTITUTING DRIED FOODS
DRIED FRUITS
Place 1 cup of fruit in a bowl, cover with cold water, and
cook for 51/2-6 minutes on HIGH. Stand covered for 5
minutes before using.
DRIED MUSHROOMS
Place in a bowl with 2 cups of water and heat, slowly,
9-11 minutes on LOW.

COOKWARE AND UTENSIL GUIDE
Utensil Use Advice
GLASSWARE/CERAMIC
(HEAT RESISTANT)
YES GLASSWARE
• 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
NO • Metal cookware should be avoided when cooking in the microwave oven.
• Microwave energy is reflected by metal.
PLASTIC WRAP/
OVEN BAGS
YES • Plastic wrap can be used to cover food.
• 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
FOR
SHIELDING
• 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.
STRAW AND WOOD
YES • Excessive over heating of these materials may cause a fire in the microwave oven.
PAPER
YES • 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.
PLASTIC COOKWARE
MICROWAVE SAFE
YES • 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. ARRANGEMENT
Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
2. TURNING
Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be turned over after half the
cooking time.
3. COVERING
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.
Use to cover foods:
4. PIERCING
Pierce potatoes, eggs, oysters, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or
membrane to allow steam to escape.
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.
6. STANDING TIME
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
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during
cooking if possible.
E.g. Casseroles and Sauces
LID PLASTIC WRAP PAPER TOWEL
TOMATO EGG
FISH CHICKEN
STIR
8. SIZE
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed up cooking, cut pieces
smaller than 5cm so microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all sides.
For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.
9. DENSITY
The depth to which microwaves penetrate food varies depending on the
food’s density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes microwave
faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.
10. FAT AND BONE
Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking.
Large fatty areas or excess drippings in a 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.
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE
Frozen or refrigerated food takes longer to heat than food at room
temperature. Cooking times in this manual are based on normal storage
temperatures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ in temperature,
check cooking result at the minimum time.
12. QUANTITY
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.
14. GENERAL
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 and power levels until the food is sufficiently heated evenly throughout.
