ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
•
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.
•
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
•
Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cook-
book for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper,
microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
•
Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any
thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking
before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
•
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
•
Turn foods over once during microwaving to
speed cooking of such foods as chicken and ham-
burgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over
at least once.
•
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and from
the center of the dish to the outside.
•
Add standing time. Remove food from oven and
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows
the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
•
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that
cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special
attention to packages that crisp food because they may
be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the high speed oven is not
a toy. See page 29 for Child Lock feature.
ABOUT CHILDREN
Children below the age of 7 should use the high speed
oven with a supervising person very near to them.
Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person
should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;
if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing
on the oven door.
DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave
on HIGH for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.
AUTOMATIC COOKING
Use the recommended container in the cooking chart in this operation manual, cookbook and
display.
ACCESSORIES
There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you
purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct
doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures when using microwave-only cooking.
Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.
CAUTION
When using ROAST or during automatic cooking, some metal baking utensils may cause arcing when they
come in contact with the turntable, oven walls or accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when
microwaves come in contact with metal.
If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish, such as a Pyrex pie plate or oven-glass plate, between the pan and the
turntable or rack. If arcing continues to occur, discontinue using that pan.
