WARNING  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.  
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. Lookattheovenfromtimetotimewhenfoodisheatedindisposablecontainersmadeofplastic,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 an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
ItishazardousforanyoneotherthanaqualifiedservicetechniciantrainedbySHARPtocarryoutanyservice

Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the  
oven is operating.  
Never tamper with or deactivate the door safety latches.  
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.  
Should the power supply cord become damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord supplied by a  
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.  
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands.

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.  
To prevent the turntable from breaking:  
a. Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the turntable to cool.  
b. Do not place anything hot on a cold turntable.  
c. Do not place anything cold on a hot turntable.  
Do not place anything on the outer cabinet.  
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.  
Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

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.  
4. PIERCING  
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.  
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  
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.  
Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat, fish  
and poultry or edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.  
8. SIZE  
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed up cooking, cut pieces  
smaller than 5 cm so microwaves can penetrate to the center from all sides.  
For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.  
7. STIRRING  
FISH  
CHICKEN  
Stir foods from the outside to the center 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. Center 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.  
14. GENERAL  
13.CONDENSATION  
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.  
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.

PULSES  
COMMONLY ASKED  
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS  
POINTS TO REMEMBER  
To soak: Place one cup of any variety of beans in a large  
dish, add 2 cups cold water and cover with a lid or plastic  
wrap. Place in microwave and cook for 5 minutes on  
HIGH. Then simmer for 30 minutes on MEDIUM LOW.  
They will then be ready to use.  
To cook: Rinse pulses. One cup of pulses to 4 cups of  
boiling water is required for a maximum of 45 minutes on  
HIGH.  
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. 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.  
DRIED MUSHROOMS  
Place in a bowl with 2 cups of water and heat, slowly, 8-  
10 minutes on LOW.  
• 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.  
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.  
• 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 success  
fully.  
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.  
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 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 – 5-15 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.

HINTS  
cakes; arrange cakes evenly on turntable. Cook about  
50-60 seconds 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 30 seconds.  
• 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.  
large container to prevent boiling over.  
• 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.  
• 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 micro  
wave. Foil directs microwave energy away from  
delicate or thin areas of food, toward areas that  
need more cooking. It is essential for even defrost-  
ing. 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.  
• 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. Heat for  
2-21/2 minutes per 100 g on MEDIUM. DO NOT  
COVER.  
• 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 30 seconds on HIGH and stand 2  
minutes before squeezing.  
• Warm jam for a quick glaze. Heat 2-3 tablespoons for  
30 seconds on HIGH; strain if necessary while hot.  
• Soften cream cheese for dips or beating by removing  
foil wrapper and cooking for 1 minute on MEDIUM  
LOW.  
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.  
• To melt marshmallows, place 100 g in a large bowl.  
Cook for 30 seconds on HIGH.  
• To dissolve gelatine, mix 1 teaspoon gelatine with 2  
tablespoons water and cook for 20-30 seconds on  
HIGH. Stir well.  
• 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 30 seconds on  
HIGH to give it a pouring consistency. (ensure lid is  
removed.)  
• To blanch almonds place 100 g in a bowl with 1 cup  
of water. Cook for 5 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 40  
seconds on HIGH.  
• 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  
• Soften 6-8 honey-snap biscuits for 30 seconds on
