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 RE-
MOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the ceiling in the
oven cavity. Check to see that there are Installation Instructions, Wall Tem-
plate, Top Template and RK-230 Charcoal Filter, which is used when recir-
culating is chosen. 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 page 21 and 22 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 clock-
wise 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. It is normal
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. 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 1000 watts by using the IEC-705-
1988 method. 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.
• 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.
•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
•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.

boneless white poultry, fish,
seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
... for leftover, ready-to-reheat

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
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 18 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
utensil 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.

The door can be opened for checking food and the turn-
table will stay in the off position. After checking, close
door and touch START/TOUCH ON.
The turntable will stay off for one minute after door is
opened when time-of-day appears in the display. It is
possible to reprogram the oven during that minute with-
out touching the TURNTABLE ON/OFF pad. The dis-
play indicates when the turntable is off.
All special features can only be used with the turntable
on. When the turntable is set in the off position, only
manual operation can be used.
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 for large amounts
by programming 5 to 10 minutes on 100% power (HIGH)
followed by the desired time on lower power. See page
17 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.
The Rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated
at one time. However, for the best cooking and reheat-
ing, use
the turntable on and the automatic features.
When using the Rack, set time and power level manu-
ally. Allow plenty of space around and between the
dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking/reheating
progress. Reposition the foods and reverse them from
rack to turntable at least once during any cooking or
reheating time. Using a lower power level will assist in
better cooking/reheating uniformity.
AVOID:
• Storing the Rack in the oven when not in use.
• Popping popcorn on the Rack
• Using any browning dish on the Rack
• Using special features with the Rack. Special fea-
tures are designed to be used with foods only on the
revolving turntable.
• Cooking directly on the Rack—use microwave safe
cookware.

bran, cream of wheat, farina or wheatena.
Follow package directions for the correct amount of water or milk. To pre-
vent boilovers, it is very important to choose a large container because
microwave cooking of cereal causes high boiling. Stir half way through for
3 to 4 servings if you wish. Stir after cooking.
For each egg, use 1 teaspoon of butter or margarine and 1 tablespoon of
milk. Place butter or margarine in dish, measuring cup or casserole large
enough for the egg to expand. Mix egg and milk together.
Pour onto butter or margarine in dish. Place in oven and program. When
audible signals are heard, stir egg mixture moving the cooked portion to
the center of the dish and uncooked portion to the outside. After cooking,
stir and let stand, covered, until set.

SPECIAL FEATURES
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 CompuDefrost 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 ex-
act 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking on
page 10. 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 4 minutes per pound. For
example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spa-
ghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or sepa-
rate 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 in a microwave-safe dish.

Exterior
The outside surface is precoated steel 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 abra-
sive 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
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control
panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the
oven door 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. Close
door and touch STOP/CLEAR.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the
interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and set-
ting 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. Rack can be cleaned
with xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
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.
CLEANING AND CARE
Turntable Turntable Support
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 non-abrasive
scouring sponge as described above. 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.
Grease Filters
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never
operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the
oven 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.
