INFORMATION

YOU NEED TO KNOW

DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave

on 100% power for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.

ACCESSORIES

There are many microwave

or heat-resistant

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.

For automatic cooking, use the recommended

container

in the cooking chart in this operation

manual or the

cookbook.

There are certain techniques for cooking with steam. It is essential that these techniques are followed for good

results. Many of them are similar to those used in conventional cooking so may require little change. Note information

in all of the charts in the cookbook for all cooking options that use SuperSteam

Convection (Roast, Convenience

Foods, Broil) and Steam (Cook, Reheat, Keep Warm and Proof).

Always attend the oven when in use.

Use utensils/cookware

suitable for the cooking mode as described on page 6.

Ventilate the room to allow the steam to dissipate.

Refer to the charts in the SuperSteam

Oven Cookbook

for recommended

cooking

settings

and times.

• After cooking

and the oven has cooled,

remove and empty the reservoir,

wipe oven cavity with a soft

cloth or sponge.

Wait a few minutes,

then empty the drip tray.

Covering

Door

Stir

Stand

Place food in steam basket on high rack in baking tray so steam reaches all sides

and cooking is even. For faster cooking, use upper level in oven. Foods crowded

together will take longer to cook, so position with enough space between items to

allow the steam to circulate.

Covering

is not necessary

in most cases. If a cover is required, aluminum

foil is

recommended

to keep food from becoming wet.

For accurate cooking times, keep the door closed.

Sometimes soups or casseroles

reheated without covering look watery after cooking.

Appearance

will be better if stirred well.

Standing time is recommended

after cooking to allow heat to disperse equally through-

out the food. Do not allow to stand in the oven for a long time; food may be over-

cooked or wet from the residual steam.

Hints

Blanching
