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. I N F O R M AT I O N Y O U N E E D T O K N O W 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 page 16 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 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. 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 ABOUT FOOD DON’T FOOD DO Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds fruits & vegetables • Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent “explosion”. • Cook eggs in shells. • Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes. • Dry nuts or seeds in shells. Popcorn • Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave oven. • Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls. • Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special POPCORN pad. • Exceed maximum time on popcorn package. • Reheat whole eggs. • Place carefully so bag does not touch oven walls. The corners of the bag may be folded down. Baby food • 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. General • 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. • 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. 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 13 for Safety 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.

Ground meat .5-3.0 lbs Remove any thawed pieces after each stage. Let stand, covered, 5 to 10 minutes. PROCEDURE 2. Steaks,chops (fish) .5-4.0 lbs After each stage of defrost cycle, rearrange and if there are warm or thawed portions, shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any meat or fish that is nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, 10 to 20 minutes. 3. Chicken pieces .5-3.0 lbs After each stage of defrost cycle, if there are warm or thawed portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand, covered, 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. 10 SPECIAL FEATURES MANUAL DEFROST INSTANT START 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 previously 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 casserole or 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 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 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 BAKED POTATOES Touch BAKED POTATOES pad once. The oven starts automatically. 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.

Touch POPCORN pad once for regular. 1 Touch POPCORN pad twice within 2 seconds for light regular. 2 Touch POPCORN pad three times within 3 seconds for snack. 3 Touch POPCORN pad four times within 4 seconds for light snack. 4 . 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. 11 O T H E R C O N V E N I E N T F E AT U R E S MULTIPLE SEQUENCE COOKING MINUTE PLUS Minute Plus allows you to cook for a minute at 100% by simply touching the MINUTE PLUS pad. You can also extend cooking time in multiples of 1 minute by repeatedly touching the MINUTE PLUS pad during manual cooking. The oven can be programmed for up to 3 automatic cooking sequences, switching from one power level setting to another automatically. Sometimes cooking directions tell you to start on one power level and then change to a different power level.

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 surface. Exterior Touch Control Panel Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. 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 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 CLEANERS 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. Interior 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. Builtup 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. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately. 14 Turntable Turntable Support SERVICE CALL CHECK Please check the following before calling for service: Place one cup of water in a glass measuring cup in the oven and close the door securely.
