Unpacking and Examining Your Oven
Remove:
1. all packing materials from inside the oven cav-
ity; 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 mis-
aligned or bent door,
damaged door seals
and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges
and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the
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 electri-
cal 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 serv-
ing 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 in-
structions, 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.
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 loca-
tion 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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR OVEN
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 page 16 for ordering the Ulti-
mate Accessory, the SHARP CAROUSEL MICRO-
WAVE COOKBOOK.
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 clock-
wise and counterclockwise.
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

General
ABOUT FOOD
• Puncture egg yolks before cooking
to prevent “explosion”.
• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,
squash, hot dogs and sausages so
that steam escapes.
• Use specially bagged popcorn for the
microwave oven.
• Listen while popping corn for the
popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or
use special POPCORN pad.
• Place carefully so bag does not touch
oven walls. The corners of the bag may
be folded down.
• Transfer baby food to small dish and
heat carefully, stirring often. Check
temperature before serving.
• Put nipples on bottles after heating
and shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test
before feeding.
• Cut baked goods with filling after
heating to release steam and avoid
burns.
• Stir liquids briskly before and after
heating to avoid “eruption”.
• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids
or cereals, to prevent boilovers.
• Cook eggs in shells.
• Reheat whole eggs.
• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags
or glass bowls.
• Exceed maximum time on popcorn
package.
• Heat baby food in original jars.
• Heat disposable bottles.
• Heat bottles with nipples on.
• Heat or cook in closed glass jars or
air tight containers.
• Can in the microwave as harmful
bacteria may not be destroyed.
• Deep fat fry.
• Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.
DO DON’T
FOOD
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.
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 con-
densation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back
must not be blocked.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 800 watts by using the IEC method.
In using recipes or package directions, check food a
minute or two before the minimum time and add time
accordingly.

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
The following coverings are ideal:
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for re-
heating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and
reheating.
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for micro-
wave use can be used for cooking and reheat-
ing. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food.
Vent so steam can escape.
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice
because heat is kept near the food to hasten
cooking.
• 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.
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave
oven:
• 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.
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any
surface of the oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings,
check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe
suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accesso-
ries available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before
you purchase so that they meet your needs. A micro-
wave-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 acces-
sories are used.
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.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not
a toy. See page 13 for Safety Lock feature.
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many
pieces already in your kitchen can be used success-
fully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the uten-
sil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking
and reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as
Corningware®.
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
• microwave-safe plastics
• paper plates
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and
porcelain
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended
preheating time. Follow manufacturer's
directions.)
These items can be used for short time reheat-
ing of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:
• wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
• 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 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.
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.
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
6
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
•Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.
•Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
•Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cook-
book for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper,
microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
•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.
•Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
•Turn foods over once during microwaving to
speed cooking of such foods as chicken and ham-
burgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over
at least once.
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
•Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and from
the center of the dish to the outside.
•Add standing time. Remove food from oven and
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows
the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
•Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that
cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
•Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.
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.
•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.
•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.
•Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.
•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.

This setting works well with most brands of microwave popcorn. Try several
brands to decide which is most acceptable for your taste. Place bag with only
one fold slightly off center and place bag with two folds in the center of the
turntable. You should fold down the corners of the bag so it turns freely.
Touch POPCORN pad once for regular.

This setting is good for restoring cooled beverage to a better drinking
temperature. Stir after heating. Use More Time Adjustment (See page 12.)
for heating COLD TAP WATER to a temperature somewhat below the
boiling point to make instant coffee or tea. Stir liquid briskly before and after
heating to avoid “eruption”.
Pierce with fork in several places. Place on paper towel on turntable. After
cooking, remove from oven and let stand wrapped in foil for 5 to 10 minutes.
For beans, carrots, corn and peas, add 1 tablespoon of water per cup. For
broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower, cook immediately after
washing with no additional water.
If you like tender crisp vegetables, double measured quantity per setting.
For example, use 2 cups cauliflower but touch FRESH VEGETABLES only
once. After cooking, remove from oven, stir, cover and let stand 3 to 5
minutes before serving.
Place meaty portions and bulky vegetables to outside of plate.
Cut large items like baked potatoes into smaller pieces. Flatten foods such
as mashed potatoes and other dense foods.
Cover with wax paper or plastic wrap. NO DOUBLE QUANTITY.
After cooking, check that food is very hot throughout and that the bottom
center of the plate is very hot. If not, continue heating using time and power
level. Allow to stand, covered, 1 to 2 minutes.
Arrange on plate with paper towel; cover with another towel. Use More Time
Adjustment for frozen rolls and muffins.

MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
COMPU DEFROST/EXPRESS DEFROST CHART or
is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on
the COMPU DEFROST/EXPRESS DEFROST CHART,
you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ-
ously cooked, by using Power Level 3. See page 9.
Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when
you select the power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the
rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound.
For example, defrost 5 minutes for 2-3 cups of casse-
role or 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or sepa-
rate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not de-
frosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, pro-
gram the oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level
3 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.
INSTANT START
Instant Start allows you to cook or reheat many of your
favorite foods by touching just one pad.
• Suppose you want to cook a baked potato.
PROCEDURE
1
Touch BAKED POTATOES
pad once.
The oven starts automatically.
BAKED
POTATOES
To cook double quantity, touch the same pad twice within
1 second.
Instant Start can only be entered within 1 minute after
cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the
STOP/CLEAR pad.
Instant Start can be programmed with More or Less
Time adjustment. See page 12.
TIPS:
Foods can be covered with wax paper or
vented plastic wrap. Temperatures of foods
covered with plastic wrap tend to be slightly
higher than those covered with wax paper.
Slice meat for reheating on dinner plate.
Stir items after removing from oven, if possible.

Exterior
Interior
Exterior
The outside surface is painted. 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.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any
spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped
frequently with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other
harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door sur-
face.
Touch Control Panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the
control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before clean-
ing. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water
only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemi-
cal cleaners. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR pad.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated 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 CLEAN-
ERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda
or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY
OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE
OVEN.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires special
care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good oven per-
formance. 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 re-
move, 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. The turntable motor shaft is not
sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immedi-
ately.
