ARRANGE FOOD CAREFULLY
Place the thickest parts of the food toward the outside of the dish.
WATCH COOKING TIME
When following recipes or package instructions, check food for doneness a minute or two before the minimum time and add time as needed.
COVER FOODS WHILE COOKING
Covers prevent spattering and help foods cook evenly. Check cookbooks and recipes for cover suggestions, such as paper towels, wax paper, microwave-safe plastic wrap or lids. See ABOUT MICROWAVE UTENSILS on page 8.
STIR FOODS REGULARLY
Stir foods once or twice during microwaving. Whenever possible, stir from the outside to the center of the dish.
TURN OVER FOODS
Turn over foods such as chicken and hamburgers at least once during microwaving to speed cooking. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
REARRANGE FOODS
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through microwaving by moving pieces from top to bottom and from left to right.

ADD STANDING TIME
Standing time allows cooking to finish without overcooking food. After microwave cooking, remove food, stir if possible and cover for standing time.
CHECK FOR DONENESS
Look for signs indicating the cooking temperature has been reached. Doneness signs include:

• food steams throughout, not just at edges
• center of the dish’s underside 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
  Use a meat thermometer to check if foods are cooked to the safe temperature. See ABOUT FOOD SAFETY on page 8.

SENSOR SETTINGS

The Sensor Cook center includes many Smart & Easy ™ settings to cook the most popular microwaved foods without the need to calculate cooking time or power level.  Sharp’s Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from food as it heats.

ABOUT SENSOR COOKING

• Wait two minutes after initially plugging in the appliance before using a Sensor setting.

• Wipe off any moisture from the exterior of the food container and the interior of the microwave cavity before using a Sensor setting.

• The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature.
  For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.

• Foods of different quantities than listed on the menu label can be cooked manually according to instructions found in any microwave cookbook.

• During the first part of sensor use, the food name appears on the display. Do not open the Sharp Microwave Drawer™ Oven or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part  of the cycle, as the measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If the cycle is interrupted, ERROR appears on the display. To continue cooking, touch STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.

• When the sensor detects vapor emitted from food, the remaining cooking/reheating time appears on the display. At this time, the Sharp Microwave Drawer™ Oven may  be opened to allow for stirring or seasoning of food.

• If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking foods (except popcorn), ERROR appears on the display. To continue cooking, touch STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.

• Check food temperature after cooking. If more time is needed, continue to cook manually.

COOKING HINT

Each Smart & Easy™ menu item has a cooking hint. To view the hint, touch Help/Settings pad when HELP appears on the display. Cooking hints include recommended  coverings and quantity/weight ranges.

We recommend the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully used on the stainless exterior rather than  sprayed directly on to it. Follow package directions carefully.
  FRONT SIDE OF THE DRAWER
  Wipe the window on both sides with a damp soft cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a damp soft cloth.  Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners, as they may stain, streak or dull the drawer surface.
  TOUCH CONTROL PANEL
  The touch-pads may be deactivated before cleaning the control panel. To lock the control panel, touch and hold pad for 3 seconds. LOCK ON appears on the display.
  Wipe the panel with a soft cloth slightly damped with water only, then wipe dry with a dry soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners.
  To unlock the control panel, Touch and hold pad for 3 seconds.
  LOCK OFF appears on the display. Touch STOP/CLEAR pad.
  INTERIOR
  Cleaning the interior is easy because no heat is generated to interior surfaces, thus there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To prevent the drawer closing and  opening during cleaning, lock the control panel.
  To clean interior surfaces, including drawer sealing surfaces, wipe with a damp soft cloth. For heavier soil, use mild soap and wipe clean with a damp soft cloth.
  IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS, CHEMICAL OVEN CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS.

• DRAWER GUIDES
  Remove the food crumbs from the drawer guides. Wipe with a dry soft cloth keep the Sharp Microwave Drawer Oven opening and closing smoothly.
  WAVEGUIDE COVER
  ATTENTION
  The waveguide cover, located on the inside top of the Sharp Microwave Drawer™ Oven area, is made from mica, so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean  to assure good microwave performance. Use a damp soft cloth to carefully wipe any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up  splashes may overheat and cause smoke or catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
  ODOR REMOVAL
  Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the Sharp Microwave Drawer™ Oven. To remove odor, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of one lemon and several  whole cloves in a 2-cup glass microwave-safe measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Leave in the Sharp Microwave Drawer™ Oven until water cools.  Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
