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
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 pages 19 and 20 for ordering
the Sharp Carousel Microwave 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
may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal

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.
• 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 heating and
allow to stand at least for 20 seconds
after heating before stirring or drink-
ing 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
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 1200 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.

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 16 for Child 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.

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.

MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in
the AMOUNT column on the DEFROST CHART, you
need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ-
ously cooked, by using 30% power level. See page 9.
Estimate defrosting time and press POWER LEVEL pad
8 times when you select the power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule
of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For
example, defrost 4 minutes for 2-3 cups of casserole 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 at 30% until to-
tally 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.

The popcorn setting automatically provides the correct cook-
ing time for most brands of microwave popcorn. See the

OTHER CONVENIENT FEATURES
Exterior
Interior
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door
open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.
Exterior
The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with mild soap
and water. Then wipe with a clean dampened cloth and polish
dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abra-
sive cleaner.
Door
Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to remove
any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped
frequently with a soft 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 soft 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
damp
cloth
. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR
SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild
soap; wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth
. 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 performance. Carefully
wipe with a soft 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.
Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed,
so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.
