This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
ABOUT YOUROVEN Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, Super Steam Ovens have a tendency to become hot during cooking with SuperSteam Convection, Convection or Steam. This Operation Man ual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference. The Sharp SuperSteam Oven Cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it frequently for cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes. ABOUT COOKING The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVIER|NGS The chart below will help you decide what utensils and coverings should be used in each mode. ooking SuperSteam Convection / Convection YES Aluminium Foil, Foil Containers Steam Microwave YES YES Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on food can be used to shield areas from cooking or defrosting too quickly. Keep foil at least 1 inch (2.54 cm) from walls of oven.
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.
FOR SUPIER STEAM CONVECTION AND STEAM COOKING Food Characteristics Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time. Cut the food into thinner parts, if possible, and arrange in single layer. Quantity The cooking time must be increased as the amount increases. Size Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as heat can penetrate from all sides to the center. For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.
ABOUT FOOD _HEN USING TIlE MICROWAVE MODE f DO DON'T Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetables Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent "explosion". Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes. * Cook eggs in shells. * Reheat whole eggs. * Dry nuts or seeds in shells. Popcorn Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave oven. Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use SENSOR POPCORN for "no-guess" popping.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use. • Accessible parts (e.g. oven door, oven cavity, dishes and accessories) may become hot during use. Use dry pot holders or oven mitts when removing container, food and oven accessories from the oven and be careful not to touch the oven cavity to prevent burns.
