IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS See the corresponding hints in operation manual and the cookery book section. To avoid the possibility of injury WARNING: Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the following before use: a) The door; make sure the door closes properly and ensure it is not misaligned or warped. b) The hinges and safety door latches; check to make sure they are not broken or loose. c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that they have not been damaged.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Keep the power supply cord away from heated surfaces, including the rear of the oven. Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or allow anyone who is not an electrician authorised by SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent. If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange must be made by an authorised SHARP service agent.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (b) Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on a cold turntable. (c) Do not put cold foods or cold utensils on a hot turntable. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation. NOTE: If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please consult an authorised, qualified electrician. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedure.
BEFORE OPERATION Your oven comes pre-set for Energy Save Mode. This facility saves electricity when the oven is not in use. When you first plug it in nothing will appear in the digital display. In Energy Save Mode, if you do not operate the oven for 3 minutes or more (i.e. closing the door, pressing the STOP key, or at the end of cooking), you will not be able to operate the oven until you open and close the oven door. To operate the oven in Energy Save Mode: 1. Plug in the oven.
MANUAL OPERATION Opening the door: To open the oven door, push the door opening button. Starting the oven: Prepare and place food in a suitable container onto the turntable or place directly onto the turntable. Close the door and press the START/+1min key after selecting the desired cooking mode. Use the STOP key to: 1. 2. 3. 4. Erase a mistake during programming. Stop the oven temporarily during cooking. Cancel a programme during cooking, press the STOP key twice.
DEFROSTING MANUAL DEFROSTING • Enter the defrosting time and use microwave power levels P10 or P30 to defrost (refer to page GB-9). • Stir or turn the food, where possible, 2 - 3 times during defrosting. • After defrosting, cover the food in foil and leave to stand until thoroughly defrosted. Example: To defrost for 10 minutes on P30 microwave power. 1. Input the power level by pressing the POWER LEVEL key 8 times. x8 2. Enter the defrosting time by pressing the 10 MIN key once. x1 3.
OTHER CONVENIENT FUNCTIONS 1. MULTIPLE SEQUENCE COOKING A maximum of 2 sequences can be input, consisting of manual cooking time and mode. Example: To cook: 5 minutes on P100 power (Stage 1) 16 minutes on P30 power (Stage 2) STAGE 1 1. Input the power level by pressing the POWER LEVEL key once. 2. Enter the cooking time by pressing the 1 MIN key 5 times. x1 STAGE 2 3. Input the power level by pressing the POWER LEVEL key 8 times. x8 x5 4.
OTHER CONVENIENT FUNCTIONS 3. LESS (▼) and MORE (▲) TIME: The LESS (▼) TIME and MORE (▲) TIME keys enable you to: • Decrease or increase cooking/defrosting time whilst the oven is in use (manual cooking only). TO USE LESS AND MORE WITH MANUAL COOKING Press the LESS (▼) or MORE (▲) TIME key to decrease or increase the cooking or defrosting time in multiples of 1 minute whilst the oven is in use. The overall cooking time can be increased to a maximum of 99 minutes.
OTHER CONVENIENT FUNCTIONS 4. KITCHEN TIMER FUNCTION : You can use the kitchen timer for timing where microwave cooking is not involved for example to time boiled eggs cooked on conventional hob or to monitor the standing time for cooked/defrosted food. Example: To set the timer for 5 minutes. 1. Press the KITCHEN TIMER key once. x1 2. Enter the desired time by pressing the 1 MIN key 5 times. 3. Press the (START)/ +1min key to start the timer. x5 Check the display x1 The display will count down.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION Automatic cooking and defrosting allows you to cook and defrost using preset programmes where the timing have been preset for you, for example AUTO COOK or DEFROST & COOK menus (AUTO WEIGHT COOK, AUTO WEIGHT DEFROST and SPEED DEFROST). AUTO WEIGHT COOK / DEFROST enables you to cook or defrost pre-programmed meals listed. Follow the example below for details on how to operate these functions. AUTO WEIGHT COOK allows you to cook 3 popular menus.
AUTO WEIGHT COOK NOTES WEIGHT RANGE: • Food weight should be rounded up or down to the nearest 0.1kg, for example, 0.65kg to 0.7kg or 0.34Kg to 0.3kg. • You are restricted to enter a weight within the range (see the following charts). NOTES: When action is required (example, to turn food over), the oven stops, the audible signals sound, the remaining cooking time and an indicator will flash on the display. To continue cooking, press the START/ +1min key.
SPEED DEFROST OPERATION This function quickly defrosts food while enabling you to choose a suitable defrost period, depending on the food type. Follow the example below for details on how to operate this function. Example: To defrost the food for 10 minutes. 1. Select the menu required by pressing the SPEED DEFROST key once. 2. Enter the cooking time by pressing the 10 MIN key once. x1 3. Press the (START)/ +1min key to start cooking.
SELECTING MENU: You can select the Menu directly on the Key Sheet by pressing the relevant key. Auto cook menus: No Food Jaked Potato (each 230g) 1 2 3 Reheat tea/Coffee (200ml/cup) Rice Pasta (g) NOTES: 1. For beverage and potatoes, parameters on display are not weight but number of servings. 2.
CARE AND CLEANING the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed. Do not remove the waveguide cover. 2. Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven. 3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior. Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
WHAT ARE MICROWAVES? Microwaves will pass through certain materials, such as glass and plastic, to heat the food. (See "Suitable Cookware" on page GB-21). Microwaves are energy waves, similar to those used for TV and radio signals. Electrical energy is converted into microwave energy, which is directed into the oven cavity via a waveguide. To prevent food and grease entering the wave guide it is protected by the waveguide cover. Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves which cause them to vibrate.
SUITABLE OVENWARE GLASS AND CERAMIC GLASS METAL Heat-resistant glass utensils are very suitable. The cooking process can be observed from all sides. They must not, however, contain any metal (e.g. lead crystal), nor have a metallic overlay (e.g. gold edge, cobalt blue finish). Generally speaking, metal should not be used, since microwaves do not pass through metal and therefore cannot reach the food.
TIPS AND ADVICE TIME SETTINGS DEEP AND SHALLOW CONTAINERS In general the thawing, heating and cooking times are significantly shorter than when using a conventional cooker or oven. For this reason you should adhere to the recommended times given in this cookery book. It is better to set the times too short, rather than too long. Test the food after it has been cooked. It is better to have to cook something for a little longer than to overcook it.
TIPS AND ADVICE BROWNING AGENTS In the following table you will find some suggestions for substances you might use for browning and some of the uses to which you might put them. After more than 15 minutes cooking time food acquires a brownness, although this is not comparable to the deep brownness and crispness obtained through conventional cooking. In order to obtain an appetising brown colour you can use browning agents. For the most part they simultaneously act as seasoning agents.
TIPS AND ADVICE ● The cooking times given are guidelines and TURNING/STIRRING depend upon the weight, initial temperature and condition of the type of vegetable in question. The fresher the vegetables, the shorter the cooking times. Almost all foods have to be turned or stirred from time to time. As early as possible, separate parts which are stuck together and rearrange them. SMALL AMOUNTS COOKING MEAT, FISH AND POULTRY Thaw more quickly and evenly than larger ones.
