INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
...About Your Oven
•
'
..
Your oven comes with an operation manual and an Over-
the-Range Convection Microwave Cookbook. Read them
carefully and always save for reference.
Should you desirea cookbook for microwave only cooking
principles,techniques, hints and recipes, see the order form
on page 28 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 coun-
terclockwise. See page 10 for turntable on/off instructions.
ALWAYS
have food in the oven when itis on to absorb the
microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may
hear the magnetron cycling on and off .
Thefan 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 anormal 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 isfor food preparation only. It should not be used
to dry clothes or newspapers.
The R-1850A,R-1851A and R-1852A are rated at 850 watts
using the IEC-705-1988 method. In using recipes or pack-
age directions,check food a minute or two before the mini-
mum time and add time accordingly.

...About Microwave Cooking
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside
of dish.
• Watch cooking time closely.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 eve n
Iy.
• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum toil
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.
...About Safety
- 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 like meatballs halfway through cooking
both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish tc
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. Donenesssigns 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.
...About Children and the
Microwave
• Children below the age of 7 should use the
microwave 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 on or
swing on the oven door.
\
, 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.
'NEVERuse 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 wave guide cover clean. Food residue can cause
arcing and/or fires .
, 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.

NOTE: Check foods when oven signals. Afterfinal 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 toil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

SPECIAL FEATURES
ManualDefrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
CompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limns in the
"Amount" column on the chart,you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw orpreviously
cooked, by using power level 3. Follow the exact3-step
procedure found under Time Cooking on page
11.
Estimate
defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power
level.
For either rawor previously cooked frozen food, the rule of
thumb is approximately5 minutes per pound. For example,
defrost 5 minutes for 2-3 cups of casserole or 1pound otfrozen
spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodicallyto remove or separate the
portions that are defrosted.If food is not defrosted at the end of
the estimated defrosting time,
proqrarn
the oven in1 minute
increments onpower level 3 until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only
long enough to remove trom 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)em itted 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
microwavecooking.
Using Sensor Settings:
1.
Room temperature should not exceed 95° F.
2. Be sure the exterior
at
the cooking container and the
interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off anymoisture with a
dry cloth orpaper towel.
3. Sensor cooking can onlybe entered within 1 minute after
cooking, openingand closing the door or touching the
STOP/CLEAR pad.

Selecting Foods:
1.
The sensor works with foods atnormal storage temper-
ature.For example,foods for reheating would be at
refrigeratortemperature and potatoes for baking 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
recommendedinthe chart for these foods.
1.
Casserolelid.
2. Plasticwrap: 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 baconand potatoes.
Line the turntable when bakingpotatoes.
4.Wax paper: Coverdish rompletely; fold excess wrap
under dish to-secure. If dish is wider than paper,
overlaptwo pieces at least one inch to cover.
