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 Choosing a Location for Your Oven You will use the oven frequently so plan its location for ease of use. The oven must be placed on a countertop which is a minimum of 36 inches from the floor. 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. INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR OVEN ally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be blocked. This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference. Good recipes are included in this operation manual. Check them as well as this section for cooking principles, techniques, hints. After using, the cooling fan may come on to cool the oven cavity. The display will show COOLING, and you will hear the sound of the fan. N E V E R use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. Only remove for cleaning or for the menus specified in this manual. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise. Unlike microwave-only ovens, your oven may become hot during cooking. Be cautious. A L W A Y S have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy. The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers. When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you 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. Your oven is rated 650 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. 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. Gener- ABOUT FOOD FOOD DONユT 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. • Exceed maximum time on popcorn package. • Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving. • Heat disposable bottles. Baby food • Reheat whole eggs. • Heat baby food in original jars. • Heat bottles with nipples on. • 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. • Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight containers. • Stir liquids briskly before heating and allow to stand at least for 20 seconds after heating before stirring or drinking to avoid eruption. • Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed. • Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers. • Deep fat fry. • Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.

If 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. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving. AUTOMATIC COOKING Use the recommended container in the cooking chart in this operation manual, cookbook and display. 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 when using microwaveonly cooking. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used. INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW 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 cookbook 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 hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once. ・ 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. 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 FOOD ... for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared 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. 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 using a microwave thermometer when cooking with only microwave power. ・ 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. 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 toaster oven is not a toy. See page 21 for Child Lock feature. ABOUT GRILL, BAKE, AUTOMATIC COOKINGS • The oven cabinet, cavity, door, accessories and dishes will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick oven gloves when removing the food or turntable from the oven. • When preheating, the turntable can be left in or removed. When preheat is over, open oven door and quickly place turntable and foods to be baked inside. 7 • Do not cover turntable with aluminum foil. • Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many items. Choose pans that do not have extended handles.

You can defrost .5 lb, .7 lb, 1.0 lb, 1.3 lb, 1.5 lb, 1.7 lb and 2.0 lb food by touching EXPRESS DEFROST. (Ex: touch twice for .7 lb.) • Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 pound steaks. Enter desired weight by touching EXPRESS DEFROST. (Ex: Touch 7 times for 2.0 lb.) 1. Express Defrost can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 21. 2. To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights allowed in the DEFROST CENTER CHART, use time and 30% power. See MANUAL DEFROST on page 19. PROCEDURE NOTE: x4 Touch START. After the 1st stage, open the door, turn steak over and shield any warm portions. Close the door. Touch START . After the 2nd stage, open the door and shield any warm portions. Close the door. Touch START . After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand as indicated in chart below. EXPRESS DEFROST CHART FOOD PROCEDURE AMOUNT Ground Meat .5 - 2.0 lb Pull apart and remove any thawed pieces after each stage. Let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes. Steaks/Chops .5 - 2.0 lb After each stage, rearrange and if there are warm or thawed portions, shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any meat that is 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. 18 S P E C I A L F E A T U R E S MANUAL DEFROST If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the EXPRESS DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the EXPRESS 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 10. Estimate defrosting time and press MICRO 4 times 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 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. 19 OTHER CONVENIENT FEATURES MULTIPLE SEQUENCE COOKING EXTEND THE COOKING TIME Your oven can be programmed for up to 3 automatic cooking sequences, switching from one power level setting to another automatically.

Ensure the oven is completly cool before cleaning. Exterior The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Wipe off the dust of the ventilation openings and power supply plug. 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. Touch Control Panel 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 . I n t e r i o r - after microwave cooking. 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. I n t e r i o r - after grill, bake or automatic cookings. Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it--not a soap filled steel pad--for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and polish dry. After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease may be removed from the interior ducts and heater by simply operating the oven on 400°F. for 20 minutes without food. Ventilate the room if necessary. 22 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. T u r n t a b lle e / Turntable Support The turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Remove the turntable support carefully to prevent breaking the top heater. 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.
