Unpacking and Examining Your Oven
Remove:
1. all packing materials from inside the oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE
WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the
right cavity wall. Read
enclosures and SAVE
the Operation Manual.
2. the feature sticker, if
there is one, from the
outside of the door.
Check the oven for any
damage, such as misaligned or bent door,
damaged door seals
and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges
and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the

door. If there is any damage, do not operate the
oven and contact your dealer or SHARP
AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

Choosing a Location for Your Oven
You will use the oven frequently so plan its location for ease of use. It's wise, if possible, to have
counter space on at least one side of the oven.
Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at
the rear of the oven for air circulation. Do not place
or install the oven in any area where heat and
steam are generated; for example, next to or
above a conventional gas or electric range or
above a conventional wall oven. Heat and steam
may damage the electronics or the mechanical
parts of the oven.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current.

WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more
protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged
into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should you
only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall
receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes
allow. Follow package directions.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.

Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord
should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Notes: 1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither Sharp nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage
to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the
correct electrical connection procedures.

Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the
microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as
feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

ABOUT YOUR OVEN
may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal
for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch
when cooking or reheating.

This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset.
Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques,
hints and recipes. See pages 19 and 20 for ordering
the Ultimate Accessory, the Sharp Carousel Microwave
Cookbook.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence
the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven.
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back
must not be blocked.

NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support
nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be
placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 1200 watts by using the IEC Test
Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,
check food a minute or two before the minimum time
and add time accordingly.

ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb
the microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
The following coverings are ideal:

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many
pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and
reheating.

Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking
and reheating:

• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Vent so steam can escape.

• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as
Corningware®.
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)

• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice
because heat is kept near the food to hasten
cooking.

• microwave-safe plastics
• paper plates
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and
porcelain

• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or
foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal
twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can
escape.

• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended
preheating time. Follow manufacturer's
directions.)

How to use aluminum foil in your microwave
oven:

These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:

• 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.

• wood, straw, wicker

DO NOT USE
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any
surface of the oven.

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-ties

Should you have questions about utensils or coverings,
check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe
suggestions.

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before
you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining
correct doneness and assure you that foods have
been cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp is not
responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for
microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and
microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which
becomes very hot should not be used.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave
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.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special
attention to packages that crisp food because they
may be extra hot.

The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;
if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing
on the oven door.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not
a toy. See page 17 for Child Lock feature.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.

• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and from
the center of the dish to the outside.

• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

• Add standing time. Remove food from oven and
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows
the food to finish cooking without overcooking.

• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper,
microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that
cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:

• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any
thin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking
before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.

- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.

- Poultry thigh joints move easily.

• Turn foods over once during microwaving to
speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over
at least once.

- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.

TEMP
160°F

165°F

• 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.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from
the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of
a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and
oven cooking bags away from the face.

FOOD
... for fresh pork, ground meat,
boneless white poultry, fish,
seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.

• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.

... for leftover, ready-to-reheat
refrigerated, and deli and carryout “fresh” food.

170°F

... white meat of poultry.

180°F

... dark meat of poultry.

• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or
other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.

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.

• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can
cause arcing and/or fires.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the safety door latches.

8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.
9. Popcorn and Sensor Reheat can only be entered
within 3 minutes after cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.

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 level for various foods and quantities.

Using Sensor Settings:

10. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch CUSTOM
HELP pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in
the display.

1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using Popcorn, Sensor Reheat or Sensor Cook.

Covering Foods:

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and
the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the chart for these foods.

3. The oven works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow
approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to
allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not
touch food.

1. Casserole lid.

4. Popcorn,Sensor Reheat and any Sensor Cook selection can be programmed with More or Less Time
Adjustment. See page 16.

3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess
wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than
paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.

5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart
should be cooked following the guidelines in any
microwave cookbook.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow
steam to escape away from you.

6. During the first part of Popcorn, Sensor Reheat or
Sensor Cook, food name will appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or touch STOP/
CLEAR pad during this part of the cooking cycle.
The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If
this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and
cook manually.

Example: POPCORN/SENSOR REHEAT
You can pop popcorn and reheat many foods by touching just one pad. You do not need to calculate cooking
time or power level.
• Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, remainder of cooking time will appear.
Door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may
stir or season food, as desired.

PROCEDURE

MANUAL DEFROST

After the 1st stage, open the door, turn steak over
and shield any warm portions. Close the door.

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in
the “Amount” column on the DEFROST CHART, you
need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using 30% Power Level. See page 9.
Estimate defrosting time and touch POWER LEVEL pad
8 times for 30% when you select the power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not
defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting
time, program the oven in 1 minute increments at 30%
until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost
only long enough to remove from the plastic in order
to place in a microwave-safe dish.

Touch START pad.

nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 10 to 20 minutes.

Boneless Poultry

.5 - 1.5 lb

Use boneless breast of chicken or turkey. After each stage, if there are
warm or thawed portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand, covered, for
10 to 20 minutes.

Bone-in Poultry

.5 - 3.0 lb

Arrange pieces with meatiest portions toward outside of glass dish or
microwave safe rack. After each stage, if there are warm or thawed portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand, covered, for 10 to 20 minutes.

NOTE: Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue
thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.
Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth
strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the
interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm
water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH
CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier

Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover
clean to assure good oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth any food spatters from
the surface of the cover immediately after they
occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause
smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the
waveguide cover.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the
oven. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated
peel and juice of 1 lemon and several whole cloves
in a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Boil for several
minutes using 100% power. Allow to set in oven
until cool. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
Turntable / Turntable Support
The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild,
sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild
cleanser and a non-abrasive scouring sponge.
They are also dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack
of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not
sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped
up immediately.
