Two people arerecommended to install this product.If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should be completed by a qualified electricianbefore the Microwave Oven is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 7.This Microwave Oven requires a mounting space on a wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to be used withstandard 12-inch wall cabinets.1 MOUNTING SPACEThis Microwave Oven should be mounted against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat forproper installation. If the wall is not flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction should be a minimum of 2”x 4” wood studding and 3/8” or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must be capable ofsupporting weight of 110 pounds—the oven and contents—AND the weight of all items which would normally bestored in the top cabinet above the unit.The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2” x 4” wall stud.To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods may be used:A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in the stud.B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.The center of the stud can be located by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and thenplacing a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16” or 24” to eitherside of this mark.2 WALL CONSTRUCTIONFigure 1OTC/1200,1201#B298 10/22/01, 9:49 AM6

14ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGSbecomes very hot should not be used.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 andreheating.•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 choicebecause heat is kept near the food to hastencooking.•Oven cooking bags are good for large meats orfoods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metaltwist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam canescape.How to use aluminum foil in your microwaveoven:•Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placedsmoothly on the food can be used to shieldareas that are either defrosting or cooking tooquickly.•Foil should not come closer than one inch to anysurface of the oven.Should you have questions about utensils or coverings,check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipesuggestions.ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accesso-ries available for purchase. Evaluate carefully beforeyou purchase so that they meet your needs. A micro-wave-safe thermometer will assist you in determiningcorrect doneness and assure you that foods havebeen cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp is notresponsible for any damage to the oven when acces-sories are used.Children should be taught all safety precautions: usepotholders, remove coverings carefully, pay specialattention to packages that crisp food because theymay be extra hot.Don’t assume that because a child has mastered onecooking skill he/she can cook everything.Children need to learn that the microwave oven is nota toy. See page 25 for Child Lock feature.It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Manypieces already in your kitchen can be used success-fully in your new microwave oven. Make sure theutensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.Use these utensils for safe microwave cookingand reheating:•glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such asCorningware®.•heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)•microwave-safe plastics•paper plates•microwave-safe pottery, stoneware andporcelain•browning dish (Do not exceed recommendedpreheating time.

15ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING•Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towardsoutside of dish.•Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amountof time indicated and add more as needed. Foodseverely 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 preventspattering and help foods to cook evenly.•Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil anythin areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcookingbefore dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.•Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twiceduring cooking, if possible.•Turn foods over once during microwaving tospeed cooking of such foods as chicken and ham-burgers. Large items like roasts must be turned overat least once.•Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfwaythrough cooking both from top to bottom and fromthe center of the dish to the outside.•Add standing time. Remove food from oven andstir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allowsthe food to finish cooking without overcooking.•Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating thatcooking 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 tothe United States Department of Agriculture'srecommended temperatures.To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in athick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVERleave the thermometer in the food during cooking,unless it is approved for microwave oven use.•ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns whenhandling utensils that are in contact with hot food.Enough heat from the food can transfer throughutensils to cause skin burns.•Avoid steam burns by directing steam away fromthe face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge ofa dish's covering and carefully open popcorn andoven cooking bags away from the face.•Stay near the oven while it's in use and checkcooking progress frequently so that there is nochance of overcooking food.•NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks orother items.•Select, store and handle food carefully to preserveits high quality and minimize the spread offoodborne bacteria.•Keep waveguide cover clean.
