This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wirewith a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed andgrounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. Inthe event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing anescape wire for the electric current.WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.Electrical RequirementsThe electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is recommendedthat a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It mustbe plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed andgrounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a quali-fied electrician install a correct wall receptacle.A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily iflocal codes allow. Follow package directions.A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becom-ing entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.Extension CordIf it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extensioncord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that willaccept the plug on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the exten-sion cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where itcan be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.Notes:1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electricalinstructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.2. Neither Sharp nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personalinjury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.Radio or TV InterferenceShould there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, checkthat the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as faraway from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
4ABOUT YOUR OVENThis Operation Manual is valuable: read it care-fully and always save it for reference.A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset.Check it for microwave cooking principles, tech-niques, hints and recipes. See page 18 for order-ing the Ultimate Accessory, the SHARP CAROU-SEL MICROWAVE COOKBOOK.NEVER use the oven without the turntable and sup-port nor turn the turntable over so that a large dishcould be placed in the oven. The turntable will turnboth clockwise and counterclockwise.ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on toabsorb the microwave energy.When using the oven at power levels below 100%,Eggs,sausages,nuts, seedsfruits &vegetablesABOUT FOOD•Puncture egg yolks before cooking toprevent “explosion”.•Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash,hot dogs and sausages so that steamescapes.•Cook eggs in shells.•Reheat whole eggs.•Dry nuts or seeds in shells.DO DON’TFOODyou may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. Itis normal for the exterior of the oven to be warm tothe touch when cooking or reheating.Condensation is a normal part of microwave cook-ing. Room humidity and the moisture in food willinfluence the amount of moisture that condensesin the oven. Generally, covered foods will not causeas much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventson the oven back must not be blocked.The oven is for food preparation only. It should notbe used to dry clothes or newspapers.Your oven is rated 800 watts by using the IEC TestProcedure. In using recipes or package directions,check food a minute or two before the minimumtime and add time accordingly.•Use specially bagged popcorn for the mi-crowave oven.•Listen while popping corn for the pop-ping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or usespecial POPCORN pad.•Place carefully so bag does not touchoven walls. The corners of the bag maybe folded down.•Transfer baby food to small dish and heatcarefully, stirring often. Check tempera-ture before serving.•Put nipples on bottles after heating andshake thoroughly. “Wrist” test beforefeeding.•Cut baked goods with filling after heat-ing to release steam and avoid burns.•Stir liquids briskly before heating andallow to stand at least for 20 secondsafter heating before stirring or drinkingto avoid eruption.•Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids orcereals, to prevent boilovers.PopcornBaby foodGeneral•Pop popcorn in regular brown bags orglass bowls.•Exceed maximum time on popcorn pack-age.•Heat baby food in original jars.•Heat disposable bottles.•Heat bottles with nipples on.•Heat or cook in closed glass jars or airtight containers.•Can in the microwave as harmful bacte-ria may not be destroyed.•Deep fat fry.•Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
5ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGSThe following coverings are ideal:•Paper towels are good for covering foods forreheating and absorbing fat while cooking ba-con.•Wax paper can be used for cooking and re-heating.•Plastic wrap that is specially marked for mi-crowave use can be used for cooking and re-heating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touchfood. 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 meatsor foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT usemetal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steamcan escape.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 toany surface of the oven.Should you have questions about utensils or cov-erings, check a good microwave cookbook or fol-low recipe suggestions.ACCESSORIES There are many microwave acces-sories available for purchase. Evaluate carefullybefore you purchase so that they meet your needs.A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you indetermining correct doneness and assure you thatfoods have been cooked to safe temperatures.Sharp is not responsible for any damage to theoven when accessories are used.Children should be taught all safety precautions:use potholders, remove coverings carefully, payspecial attention to packages that crisp food be-cause they may be extra hot.Don’t assume that because a child has masteredone cooking skill he/she can cook everything.Children need to learn that the microwave oven isnot a toy. See page 15 for Safety Lock feature.It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Manypieces already in your kitchen can be used suc-cessfully in your new microwave oven. Make surethe utensil does not touch the interior walls duringcooking.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 and porce-lain•browning dish (Do not exceed recommendedpreheating time. Follow manufacturer's direc-tions.)These items can be used for short time reheatingof foods that have little fat or sugar in them:•wood, straw, wickerDO 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-tiesShould you wish to check if a dish is safe formicrowaving, place the empty dish in the oven andmicrowave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish whichbecomes very hot should not be used.ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVEChildren below the age of 7 should use the micro-wave oven with a supervising person very near tothem.

6ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING•Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas to-wards outside 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 overcook-ing before dense, thick areas are cooked thor-oughly.•Stir foods from outside to center of dish once ortwice during 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 turnedover at 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 al-lows the food to finish cooking without overcook-ing.•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 thetouch.- 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 theUnited States Department of Agriculture's recom-mended temperatures.To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometerin a thick or dense area away from fat or bone.NEVER leave the thermometer in the food duringcooking, unless it is approved for microwave ovenuse.•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 edgeof a dish's covering and carefully open popcornand oven 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 pre-serve its high quality and minimize the spread offoodborne bacteria.•Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue cancause arcing and/or fires.•Use care when removing items from the oven sothat the utensil, your clothes or accessories donot touch the safety door latches.ABOUT SAFETY... for fresh pork, ground meat, bone-less white poultry, fish, seafood,egg dishes and frozen preparedfood.... for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrig-erated, and deli and carry-out“fresh” food.... white meat of poultry.... dark meat of poultry.160°F165°F170°F180°FTEMP FOODINFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

Seepage 9. Estimate defrosting time and pressPOWER LEVEL pad 8 times when you select thepower level.For either raw or previously cooked frozen foodthe rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes perpound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 2-3 cupsof casserole or 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.Always stop the oven periodically to remove orseparate the portions that are defrosted. If food isnot defrosted at the end of the estimated defrost-ing time, program the oven in 1 minute incrementsat 30% until totally defrosted.When using plastic containers from the freezer, de-frost only long enough to remove from the plasticin order to place in a microwave-safe dish.POPCORNThe popcorn setting automatically provide the cor-rect cooking time for most brands of microwavepopcorn.
