  9. 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.
  10. WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
  11. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
  12. 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 on microwave modes, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode.

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.

  1. To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling, care should be taken when handling the container. Your oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly with microwave, 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. Do not heat for longer than recommended time. See REHEATING-FOOD CHART in the attached cookbook.
e. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.
f. 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 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.
11. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet.
12. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
13. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
14. Do not operate the oven without a load (i.e. an absorbing material such as food or water) in the oven cavity except when conditioning or cleaning the heater elements as described in the operation manual.

CARE AND CLEANING

Disconnect the power supply cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven.

Before cleaning ensure oven cavity is cool.

CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS -Keep the oven clean and remove any food deposits, or it could lead to deterioration of the surface. This could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Exterior: The outside may be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of harsh abrasive cleaners. Keep the ventilation openings free of dust.

Door: Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Touch Control Panel: Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Avoid the use of excess water.

Interior walls: Wipe spatters and spills with a little dish washing liquid on a soft damp cloth. For heavier stains inside the oven cavity only, use a mild stainless steel cleaner applied with a soft damp cloth. Do not apply to the inside of the door. Wipe clean ensuring all cleaner is removed.

After use wipe the waveguide cover in the oven with a soft damp cloth to remove any food splashes. Built-up splashes may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

DO NOT USE CAUSTIC CLEANERS, ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANSERS OR SCOURING PADS ON YOUR OVEN. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF YOUR OVEN.

DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER. Avoid using excess water. After cleaning the oven, ensure any water is remove with a soft cloth.

Note: At regular intervals, heat the oven referring to "CLEAN THE OVEN BEFORE FIRST USE" on page 6. Because, the splashed dirt or food oil remained around oven walls may cause the smoke and odour.

Turntable/Turntable Support/Racks: Wash with mild soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Note: Keep the waveguide cover and accessories clean at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity or accessories, it may overheat, cause arching, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

SPECIAL NOTE for Roller Stay:

After cooking, always clean the roller stay, especially around the rollers. These must be free from food splashes and grease. Built-up splashes or grease may overheat and cause arcing, which may produce smoke or catch fire.

MICROWAVE COOKING

1. ARRANGEMENT

Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas towards the outside of the dish.

Eg. Arrange vegetables in a shallow dish in the following way:

Hard Vegetables (e.g. carrots) around the outside, Soft Vegetables (e.g. broccoli) in the centre.

SHARP R-995DW - ARRANGEMENT - 1

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 to retain moisture or if you would normally cover the food in your ordinary oven, e.g. vegetables and casseroles.

Use to cover foods:

SHARP R-995DW - COVERING - 1
LID PLASTIC WRAP

SHARP R-995DW - COVERING - 2

SHARP R-995DW - COVERING - 3
PAPER TOWEL

4. PIERCING

Pierce potatoes, eggs, oysters, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or membrane to allow steam to escape.

SHARP R-995DW - PIERCING - 1

TOMATO EGG
SHARP R-995DW - PIERCING - 2

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.

Watch for sparking. Sparking can damage the cavity. To prevent sparking, reduce aluminium foil or keep clear of cavity walls.

SHARP R-995DW - SHIELDING - 1
FISH

SHARP R-995DW - SHIELDING - 2
CHICKEN

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 manufacturer's 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.

SHARP R-995DW - STIRRING - 1
STIR

8. SIZE

Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm 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 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 book are based on normal storage temperatures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ in temperature, check for doneness at the minimum time.

SHARP R-995DW - STARTING TEMPERATURE - 1

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.

CONVECTION COOKING

  1. Use thick oven gloves when removing food or the turntable from the oven to PREVENT BURNS. Because accessible parts (e.g. oven door, oven cavity, dishes and accessories) will become hot when in use.
  2. Can be used the same a conventional oven.
  3. When cooking your own recipes; cook for a slightly shorter cooking time, at the temperature the recipe suggests. Then add additional time if necessary.
  4. For best results, preheat to required temperature with the turnable in the oven. Add food after preheating.
  5. Food may be cooked either directly on turntable, using the high or low racks or by using the square trays.
  6. Do not cover turntable, square trays, high rack, or low rack with aluminium foil.
