A30531,R310C/R308C/R305C/R303C O/M6INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOWABOUT YOUR OVENThis Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully andalways save it for reference.A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Checkit for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hintsand recipes. See pages 15 and 16 for ordering the Ul-timate Accessory, the SHARP CAROUSEL MICRO-WAVE COOKBOOK.NEVER use the oven without the turntable and supportnor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could beplaced in the oven. The turntable will turn both clock-wise and counterclockwise.ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorbthe microwave energy.When using the oven at power levels below 100%, youmay hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normalfor the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touchwhen cooking or reheating.Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.Room humidity and the moisture in food will influencethe amount of moisture that condenses in the oven.Generally, covered foods will not cause as much con-densation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven backmust not be blocked.The oven is for food preparation only. It should not beused to dry clothes or newspapers.Your oven is rated 1000 watts (R-305C, R-303C) or1100 watts (R-310C, R-308C) by using the IEC-705-1988 method. In using recipes or package directions,check food a minute or two before the minimum timeand add time accordingly.Eggs, sausages,nuts, seedsfruits &vegetablesPopcornBaby foodGeneralABOUT FOOD• Cook eggs in shells.• Reheat whole eggs.• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.• Pop popcorn in regular brown bagsor glass bowls.• Exceed maximum time on popcornpackage.• Heat baby food in original jars.• Heat disposable bottles.• Heat bottles with nipples on.• Heat or cook in closed glass jars orair tight containers.• Can in the microwave as harmfulbacteria may not be destroyed.• Deep fat fry.• Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.DO• Puncture egg yolks before cooking toprevent “explosion”.• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,squash, hot dogs and sausages so thatsteam escapes.• Use specially bagged popcorn for the mi-crowave oven.• Listen while popping corn for the pop-ping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or usespecial Popcorn pad.• Transfer baby food to small dish andheat carefully, stirring often. Checktemperature before serving.• Put nipples on bottles after heating andshake thoroughly. “Wrist” test beforefeeding.• Cut baked goods with filling after heat-ing to release steam and avoid burns.• Stir liquids briskly before and afterheating to avoid “eruption”.• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids orcereals, to prevent boilovers.DON’TFOODOM1 98.11.27, 4:35 PM6
A30531,R310C/R308C/R305C/R303C O/M7ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGSThe following coverings are ideal:• Paper towels are good for covering foods for re-heating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.• Wax paper can be used for cooking andreheating.• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for micro-wave use can be used for cooking and reheat-ing. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food.Vent so steam can escape.• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choicebecause heat is kept near the food to hastencooking.• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats orfoods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metaltwist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam canescape.How to use aluminum foil in your microwaveoven:• Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placedsmoothly on the food can be used to shieldareas that are either defrosting or cooking tooquickly.• Foil should not come closer than one inch to anysurface of the oven.Should you have questions about utensils or coverings,check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipesuggestions.ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accesso-ries available for purchase. Evaluate carefully beforeyou purchase so that they meet your needs. A micro-wave-safe thermometer will assist you in determiningcorrect doneness and assure you that foods havebeen cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp is notresponsible for any damage to the oven when acces-sories are used.Children should be taught all safety precautions: usepotholders, remove coverings carefully, pay specialattention to packages that crisp food because theymay be extra hot.Don’t assume that because a child has mastered onecooking skill he/she can cook everything.Children need to learn that the microwave oven is nota toy. See page 13 for Child Lock feature.It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Manypieces already in your kitchen can be used success-fully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the uten-sil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.Use these utensils for safe microwave cookingand reheating:• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such asCorningware®.• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)• microwave-safe plastics• paper plates• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware andporcelain• browning dish (Do not exceed recommendedpreheating time. Follow manufacturer'sdirections.)These items can be used for short time reheat-ing of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:• wood, straw, wickerDO NOT USE• metal pans and bakeware• dishes with metallic trim• non-heat-resistant glass• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)• recycled paper products• brown paper bags• food storage bags• metal twist-tiesShould you wish to check if a dish is safe formicrowaving, place the empty dish in the oven andmicrowave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish whichbecomes very hot should not be used.ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVEChildren below the age of 7 should use the microwaveoven with a supervising person very near to them.Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising personshould 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 swingon the oven door.INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOWOM1 98.11.27, 4:35 PM7
A30531,R310C/R308C/R305C/R303C O/M8ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towardsoutside of dish.• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amountof time indicated and add more as needed. Foodseverely 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 preventspattering and help foods to cook evenly.• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil anythin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcookingbefore dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twiceduring cooking, if possible.• Turn foods over once during microwaving tospeed cooking of such foods as chicken and ham-burgers. Large items like roasts must be turned overat least once.INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfwaythrough cooking both from top to bottom and fromthe center of the dish to the outside.• Add standing time. Remove food from oven andstir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allowsthe food to finish cooking without overcooking.• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating thatcooking 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.• Check foods to see that they are cooked to theUnited States Department of Agriculture'srecommended temperatures.To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in athick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVERleave the thermometer in the food during cooking,unless it is approved for microwave oven use.• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns whenhandling utensils that are in contact with hot food.Enough heat from the food can transfer throughutensils to cause skin burns.• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away fromthe face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge ofa dish's covering and carefully open popcorn andoven cooking bags away from the face.• Stay near the oven while it's in use and checkcooking progress frequently so that there is nochance of overcooking food.• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks orother items.• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserveits high quality and minimize the spread offoodborne bacteria.• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue cancause arcing and/or fires.• Use care when removing items from the oven sothat the utensil, your clothes or accessories do nottouch the safety door latches.ABOUT SAFETY... for fresh pork, ground meat,boneless white poultry, fish,seafood, egg dishes and frozenprepared food.... for leftover, ready-to-reheatrefrigerated, and deli and carry-out “fresh” food.... white meat of poultry.... dark meat of poultry.160°FTEMP FOOD165°F170°F180°FOM1 98.11.27, 4:35 PM8
