YOUR OVEN 1 Remove all packing materials from inside the oven. 2 Remove the feature sticker, if there is one. Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent oven, damaged oven seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the front side of the oven. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven and contact your dealer or a SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER. 3 Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided Installation Manual. SEALING SURFACES OVEN CAVITY DOOR SEALS DOOR LATCH DOOR HINGES CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR YOUR OVEN You will use your oven frequently, so plan its location for ease of use. Your oven can be built into a cabinet or wall by itself, or above any electric wall oven, above Sharp's Microwave Drawer model SMD3070AS or above other Sharp Microwave Drawer models that specify the combination of this oven. It cannot be built in above any gas wall oven. Min. 2" (5.1 cm) SuperSteam+ Oven Cutout Electric Wall Oven / Warming Drawer / Microwave Drawer Cutout Min. 36" (91.5 cm) GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This appliance must be grounded. The 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. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person. ABOUT SAFETY • Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agricultureʼs recommended temperatures. 160˚F / 71˚C - For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food. 165˚F / 74˚C - For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated; deli and carry-out “fresh” food. 170˚F / 77˚C - White meat of poultry. 180˚F / 82˚C - Dark meat of poultry. To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. • Accessible parts (e.g. oven door, oven cavity, dishes and accessories) may become hot during use. Use dry pot hold- ers 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. • Use care when opening door. Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Always stand back from the oven when opening it. • Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering and oven cooking bags away from the face. • Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food. • NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items. INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

temperatures that are too high or cooking times that are too long may overheat foods resulting in a fire. • Do not insert fingers or objects in the steam outlets or air vent openings. This may damage the oven and cause an electric shock or a hazard. • If any objects drop inside the air vent openings, turn off the oven immediately, unplug and consult a Sharp Authorized Servicer. • Do not touch the plug with wet hands when inserting or removing from the outlet. Plug securely into the electric wall receptacle and remove by gripping on the plug end. Never pull using just the cord. • During steaming, steam may come from the right side of the vent. • In the case of a grease fire, DO NOT USE WATER. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. • Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. • Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. • Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury. • Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven. ABOUT CHILDREN Children below the age of 7 should use the oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should 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 swing on the oven door. Children should be taught all safety precautions. Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything. Children need to learn that the oven is not a toy. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the oven. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW • Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria. • Use care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the door projection. • Do not touch around the oven light. This area will become hot when the oven light is on. • To avoid burns, always be careful of splashing grease from the baking tray when removing roasted or broiled meats from the oven. • To avoid burns, always test food and container temperature and stir before serving. Pay special attention to the tempera- ture of containers, foods and drinks. Do not drink beverage or soup without checking the container’s temperature. • Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings, accessories, dishes and the escaping steam from the air vent openings during operation because they will become hot. • Do not operate the oven if reservoir cracks and water leaks. Call a Sharp Authorized Service Centre to purchase a replacement part. • After use, condensed water may be inside oven cavity, especially on the oven floor. Dry any liquid residue with a sponge and wipe out to keep the oven clean. • Do not move the oven during the operation. If the oven needs to be moved, always drain all water inside the oven using the DRAIN WATER function (See page 25). After draining, empty the drip tray. • To prevent condensation, which could corrode the appliance, do not leave cooked food in the oven for an extended period. • Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits in the oven or on the door. • Do not use for deep frying. • ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns. In Supersteam, Steam and Convection modes, cabinet, interior and door may be too hot to touch. • Do not pour cold water on the tempered glass oven floor after cooking as it might break. • Do not pour cold water on the door as it might break. • Do not touch hot surfaces. • The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

This function is representative of tradi- tional convection ovens and best used for baked goods or convenience items. Examples: cookies, cakes, biscuits, pizza, chicken nuggets 2 Convection Broil – The convection broil function incorpo- rates dry heated air that is directed from above the food (top of oven cavity). This broiling function allows for shorter cooking times due to the concentration of the heat. This function is best used for browning, searing, or melting. Examples: cheese topping, steak, vegetables 3 Steam Roast – In this function, the steam that is injected into the cavity is “superheated” steam. Typical steam temperature is 212°F. With “superheated” steam, the temperature of the steam is heightened to levels of up to 485°F; thus allowing for the benefits of steam moisture and the browning effect of the high temperature. This “superheated” steam circulates in the cavity to ensure even cooking. This function is best used for meats, potatoes, or larger items that would require the even cooking effects and browning or outer edge crispness. Examples: chicken (whole), sweet potato, roast 4 Steam Grill – The steam grill function utilizes the “super- heated” steam, but in a targeted manner, coming from above in the oven cavity. This pinpoint guidance allows for the benefit of steam as well as being able to concentrate the “superheated” steam temperature to accomplish browning and multiple cooking options. With this function, you are able to grill and sauté while enjoying the benefits of steam. Examples: fish, vegetables, onions, steak 5 Steam – The steam function consists of water vapor at a temperature of 212°F injected into the oven cavity to allow for a nutrient saving cooking option. Steaming provides moisture and tenderness to foods that may otherwise dry out or become tough by using traditional cooking methods. This function is best used for vegetables, fish, or meats. Examples: broccoli, salmon, cod, chicken 6 Steam Refresh – Steam Refresh utilizes low temperature steam that brings back to life or “refreshes” food that may be a day old or yesterday’s leftovers. The injection of gentle steam can help to restore foods back to states of when they were first fresh. This function is best used with firm breads, rice, noodles, vegetables, or meats. Examples: French bread, brown rice, spaghetti noodles, broccoli, hamburgers

EXTERIOR The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner. STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend that 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 OVEN Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the oven surface. TOUCH CONTROL PANEL If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning. See the Control Lock information on page 23 of this manual. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close oven and follow directions on page 23 for turning Control Lock off. Press CLEAR. INTERIOR Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, including oven sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners. ODOR REMOVAL Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. To remove odor, combine 1 cup water with 1/3 cup lemon juice in a 2-cup glass. Boil for several minutes. Leave in the oven until water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth. DRAIN WATER In the event of excess water being in the SuperSteam+ oven engine or a steam function is interrupted during operation, your oven may need to drain to reset itself. An ATTENTION message will be displayed alerting the need for the oven to drain the water. Ensure that there is an empty reservoir. If not, empty the reservoir and replace. The draining of the water into the reservoir will take approxi- mately 1 minute. Once complete, detach the reservoir and discard the water.
