INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR OVEN This Operation Manual 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. Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, Super Steam Ovens have a tendency to become hot during cooking with SuperSteam Convection, Convection or Steam. The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers. ABOUT COOKING OPTIONS Your oven has a variety of cooking options that are divided into automatic and manual. SuperSteam Convection, Steam and Microwave have both automatic and manual choices. Convection has only manual. SuperSteam Convection SuperSteam is combined with convection heating, which can roast or broil foods and allow excess fats to be removed. These foods retain moisture. Meats and poultry are brown, juicy and flavorful. Steam Steam-only gently cooks foods such as vegetables, fish, seafood and poached eggs while retaining moisture, natural flavors and nutrients. Convection Convection browns, bakes, broils and crisps a wide variety of foods. Cookies, cakes, breads, muffins, biscuits and rolls can be baked on one or two levels. There are no automatic settings for convection. Refer to your SuperSteam Cookbook or to Convection in Manual Operations. Microwave Microwave is fast and convenient for cooking, defrosting and popping popcorn. With Sensor Reheat, Sensor Cook and Sensor Popcorn, it is unnecessary to enter amount. The sensor eliminates guesswork. 5
