MICROWAVE need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape. * Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly. * Stay near the Microwave Drawer ;_hile it's in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food. * Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the Microwave Drawer.

Sometimes cooking directions tell you to start on one power level and then change to a different power level. Your oven can do this automatically. Suppose you want to cook roast beef for 5 minutes at 70% power and then continue to cook for 30 minutes at 50% power.
MICROWAVE SENSOR DRAWER COOKING SETTINGS appear. The Microwave Drawer may be opened when the remaining time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired. Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power levels for various foods and quantities.

OVEN iNFORMATiON YOU NEED ALUMINUM TO KNOW FOiL Do not place aluminum foil on the oven bottom. It is not recommended to use almninum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. If you would like to use it to make cleaning easier, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. Without the slits, the foil x_ill prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan, and then the juices could become hot enough to catch on fire.

OVEN CONVECTION COOKING-CONVECTION COOKING The Convection settings use heaters on the top and bottom of the oven as well as a rear heater located behind the rear wall and convection fan cover. The rear heater is used for true European convection performance. There are various sequences of the heaters used to achieve ideal cooking. The convection fan moves the heated air throughout the entire oven to ensure even browning and crisping.
OVEN COOK|NG-CONV_:CT|ON * Since recipes vary, the food may need additional cooking time. Simply return the food to the oven and watch it closely until done or you can set the Kitchen Timer.

OVEN COOKING-CONVECTION CONVECTION BROIL Use the broiler pan, grid and roast/broil rack. The roast/broil rack enables the heated air to circulate on all sides of the foods ensuring no need to turnover during broiling. The juices are sealed in and all sides brown well. Allow the oven to preheat xxhen using Convection Broil. Place t/4 to 1/2cup of water in the bottom of the broiler pan to help eliminate any smoking and make clean-up easy. The door is dosed during Convection Broil.
OTHER HOW TO START FEATURES SELF-CLEAN Remember to allow time for the oven to cool down and the oven door to unlock (approx. 1 hour) if you are planning to use the oven after a self-clean cycle. Remove the broiler pan and broiler grid, all utensils and any foil. We recommend removing the oven racks. If they go through the clean cycle, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. With soap and water, clean any soil from the oven frame and the area outside the gasket on the door.
OTHER OVEN FEATURES LIGHT The oven light automatically comes on when the door is opened. When the door is closed, Touch Oven Light pad on the control panel to turn the light on or off. The oven light will come on automatically one minute before the end of a time-controlled oven cooking operation (Timed Cook).

For the first few weeks, use suggested package times and temperatures. Should you determine that an adjustment is desirable, try a few recipes or prepared foods to determine the number of degrees for the actual oven adjustment.
CLEANING AND CARE Be%re cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and all surfaces are cool. NON-COOKTOP gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. "[ Apply a few drops of cleaner cream to the cooktop that is not hot. SURFACES 2 Dampen clean paper towel and clean top. EXTERIOR 3 Wipe off with another clean, damp paper towel, then wipe dry. The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
CLEANING boil dry, permanent damage may affect the ceramic glass surface. INSIDE Rr:MOVi: * Do not use a dull or nicked blade. Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper. (SELF-CLEANING) AND RF:PLACE OVEN DRAWER 3 Grab the door by the sides, pull the bottom of the door up and toward you to disengage the hinge supports. Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the top of the door toward the range to completely disengage the hinge levers.
CLEANING OVEN AND CARE OVEN RACKS LIGHT REPLACEMENT Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the oven lightbulb. Do not turn the oven light on during the self-cleaning cycle. The high temperature will reduce lamp life. Clean with soap and water, rinse and polish dry. To remove stubborn soil, use an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
