Unpacking and Examining Your Oven

Carefully remove oven from carton. SAVE THE CARTON AS IT MAY MAKE

INSTALLATION EASIER.

Remove:

1. all packing materials from inside the oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE

THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the ceiling in the oven cavity.

Check to see that there are Installation Instructions, Wall Template and Top

Template. Read enclosures and SAVE the Operation Manual.

2. the feature sticker from the outside of the door, if there is one.

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 oven and contact your dealer or SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

See Installation Instructions for more details.

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

Check Installation Instructions for proper location for the power supply.

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 the oven 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. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUM-

STANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.

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

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 28 and 29 for ordering

the Ultimate Accessory, 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

clockwise and counterclockwise. See page 11 for

complete instructions.

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.

The fan will automatically start when heat rises from

range surface units or burners and when convection,

high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used.

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. Ventilation openings

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 850 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.

Eggs, sausages,

fruits &

vegetables

Popcorn

Baby food

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 and after

heating 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 disposable bottles.

•Heat bottles with nipples on.

•Heat baby food in original jars.

•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

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.

ABOUT SAFETY

... for fresh pork, ground meat,

boneless white poultry, fish,

seafood, egg dishes and frozen

prepared food.

... for leftover, ready-to-reheat

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 25 for Child Lock feature.

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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your

new microwave convection oven. The chart below will help you decide what utensils and coverings should be used

in each mode.

DISH CHECK. 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.

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.

can be used with manual cooking modes and Sensor

Reheat. Turntable off condition will automatically change

to on condition when you select auto cooking except

Sensor Reheat and CompuBake.

When cooking large quantities of food which cannot

be stirred, it is best to use a lower power level such

as 40 or 50%. You may speed cooking of large

amounts by programming 5 to 10 minutes on 100%

power (HIGH) followed by the desired time on lower

power. See page 24 for how to program multiple

sequences. You may wish to reverse a large casserole

once during cooking; simply open door, reposition

casserole, close door and touch START/TOUCH ON.

Using Sensor Settings:

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the

CompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limits in

the “Amount” column on the chart, you need to defrost

manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ-

ously cooked, by using power level 3. Follow the exact

3-step procedure found under To Set Power Level on

page 12. 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 casse-

role 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 food in a microwave-safe dish.

SENSOR COOKING

Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that

detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from

the food as it heats. The Sensor adjusts the cooking

times and power level for various foods and quantities.

It takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.

1. Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container

and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any

moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. Sensor cooking can only be entered within 1 minute

after cooking, opening and closing the door or

touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.

4. During the first part of sensor cooking,

, ,

touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and select cooking

time and power. When sensor detects the vapor

emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time

will appear. Door may be opened when remaining

cooking time appears on display. At this time, you

may stir or season food, as desired.

5. Check food for doneness after cooking with sensor

settings. If additional time is needed, continue to

cook with variable power and time.

6. If the sensor does not detect vapor, will

appear and the oven will shut off.

7. At the end of any cycle, open oven door or touch

STOP/CLEAR pad. The time of day will reappear

on the display.

8. Any sensor setting can be programmed with More

or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.

Selecting Foods:

1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage

temperature. For example, foods for reheating would

be at refrigerator temperature and potatoes for bak-

ing would be room temperature.

2. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts

should be cooked by time and variable power.

Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover

recommended in the Sensor Cooking chart for these

foods.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for

microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow

approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to

allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not

touch food.

3. Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excess

fat and moisture when cooking bacon and potatoes.

Line the turntable when baking potatoes.

4. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap

under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper,

overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.

MANUAL CONVECTION/AUTOMATIC MIX OPERATION

This section of the Operation Manual gives you

specific cooking instructions and procedures. Please

consult your Sharp Carousel Convection Microwave

Cookbook for helpful hints for convection and combi-

nation cooking.

The oven should not be used without the turntable

in place, and it should never be restricted so that it

cannot rotate. You may remove the turntable when

preheating the oven and when preparing food to be

cooked directly on the turntable.

CONVECTION COOKING

During convection heating, hot air is circulated through-

out the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods quickly

and evenly. This oven can be programmed for ten

different convection cooking temperatures for up to

99 minutes, 99 seconds.

TO COOK WITH CONVECTION

•Suppose you want to cook at 350˚F for 20 minutes.

TO PREHEAT AND COOK

WITH CONVECTION

Your oven can be programmed to combine preheating

and convection cooking operations. You can preheat

at the same temperature as the convection tempera-

ture or change it to a higher or lower temperature.

•Suppose you want to preheat until 350˚F and then

cook 25 minutes at 375˚F convection.

NOTE:

To preheat and cook with the same temperature, enter

same temperature in steps 2 and 3.

When the oven reaches the programmed

temperature, it will automatically hold at the

preheat temperature for 30 minutes and then the

display will change to time of day. Whenever

STOP/CLEAR pad is touched during this

30 minute period, PRESS CONVEC or PRESS MIX

will be displayed and cooking mode and time

can be entered.

TO BROIL

In the BROIL setting, preheating is automatic. Just

enter the actual broiling time and wait for preheat to

be over before adding food. (Preset 450˚F). Oven

temperature cannot be changed.

PREHEAT

With the exception of those foods that cook best by

convection heating alone, most foods are well suited

to mix cooking using either LOW MIX/BAKE or HIGH

MIX/ROAST.

The marriage of these two cooking methods produces

juicy meats, moist and tender cakes and fine textured

breads, all with just the right amount of browning

and crispness.

The temperature can be changed; however, the

microwave power cannot.

The oven temperature can be changed from 100˚F

to 450˚F. To change the temperature, first touch

HIGH MIX or LOW MIX, then touch the same pad

again. When the display says ,

CLEANING AND CARE

EXTERIOR

The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic.

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 harsh abrasives.

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel.

If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door

to inactivate the control panel 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. Avoid the use of excess water. Close

door and touch STOP/CLEAR.

INTERIOR- AFTER MICROWAVE

COOKING

The oven walls, ceiling and floor are stainless steel.

Cleaning after microwave cooking is easy because no

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 mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water.

INTERIOR- AFTER CONVECTION,

MIX OR BROIL COOKING

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.

WAVEGUIDE COVER

The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the

oven cavity. It 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 imme-

diately after they occur. Built-up splashes may over-

heat 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 ceramic turntable and turntable support can be

removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy

water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and

scouring sponge as described above. They are also

dishwasher-safe using top rack.

OVEN RACKS

The high and low baking racks can be removed for easy

cleaning and stored away from the microwave oven

when racks are not needed. After each use, wash them

in mild, sudsy water. For any stubborn stains, use a

mild kitchen cleanser and scouring sponge as described

above. They are dishwasher-proof.

GREASE FILTERS

Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never

operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.

1. Pull the tab toward the front of the oven, down slightly

and remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.

2. Soak the filters in a sink or dish pan filled with hot

water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or

other alkali; they will react with the filter material and

darken it.

3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embed-

ded dirt.

4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.

5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.

Tab

Grease

filter

CLEANING AND CARE

FAN

The fan will automatically start when heat rises from

range surface units or burners and when convection,

high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used. This

protects the microwave oven from excessive tempera-

ture rise. The fan will stay on until the temperature

decreases. It cannot be turned off manually during

this time.

For other uses, select either high or low speed.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE:

1. DO NOT leave range unattended while using high

temperatures. Automatic fan may start and provide

excessive air to the surface units. This may cause

spattering or boilover.

2. Avoid burning food.

3. Keep grease filters clean.

LIGHT

1. To replace light bulbs, first disconnect power to the

oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging.

2. To release cover remove the screw on the light cover.

(See illustration.)

3. Replace bulbs only with equivalent watt bulbs

available from a Sharp Authorized Servicer or parts

distributor. Bulbs are also available at most hard-

ware stores or lighting centers. DO NOT USE A BULB

LARGER THAN 30 WATTS.

4. Close light cover and secure with screw removed in

step 2.

CAUTION: Light cover may become very hot. Do not

touch glass when light is on. Do not use light for long

time use such as a night light.

Light cover

Screw Light bulbs

CHARCOAL FILTER

Charcoal Filter, Sharp Part Number RK-220 is used for

No-vented, recirculated installation. The filter should be

changed every 6 to 12 months depending on use.

1. Disconnect power to the oven at the circuit breaker

panel or by unplugging.

2. Remove 3 screws that secure louver.

3. Remove louver by inserting flat edge screwdriver

over each tab depressing the tab down and moving

louver away from unit.

4. Pull the louver away from the oven.

5. Slide Charcoal Filter into position on support tabs.

6. Push louver back into place and gently snap tabs

into place by hand (engaging both the bottom and

top tabs) and replace the 3 screws to secure louver.

OVEN LIGHT

Remove the louver per instructions 1-4 above and

charcoal filter, if used.

5. Slide the light cover forward and lift up.

6. Remove old light bulb and replace only with an

equivalent watt bulb available from a Sharp

Authorized Servicer or parts distributor. Bulbs are

also available at most hardware stores or lighting

centers. DO NOT USE A BULB LARGER THAN

30 WATTS.

7. Replace the oven light cover and charcoal filter, if

used; push louver back in place (engaging both the

bottom and top tabs) and replace the louver
