UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
UNPACKING AND EXAMINING YOUR OVEN  
Open the bottom of the carton, bend the carton flaps back and tilt the oven over to rest  
on plasticfoam pad. Lift carton off oven and remove all packing materials, WALL and  
TOP CABINET TEMPLATE, Turntable, and Turntable Support. SAVE THE CARTON  
AS IT MAY MAKE INSTALLATION EASIER.  
1. Remove the feature sticker from the outside of the door, if there is one.  
2. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the right side  
wall of the oven cavity. Check to see that there is a WALL TEMPLATE and TOP  
CABINET TEMPLATE. Read enclosures and SAVE the Operation Manual.  
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.  
Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Over the Range Microwave Oven/Hood  
System. Two people are recommended to install this product.  
If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should be completed by a qualified electrician  
before the Microwave Oven/Hood is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on  
page 7.

1 MOUNTING SPACE  
This Microwave Oven/Hood requires a mounting space on  
15.5"  
a wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to be used with  
standard 12-inch wall cabinets.  
30" or more from  
cooking surface  
At least 2"  
Backsplash  
If the space between the wall cabinets is 36 or 42 inches, a  
Filler Panel Kit can be used to fill the gap. The metal filler  
panels come in 3-inch wide pairs. One set is needed for a  
36-inch opening and 2 sets for a 42-inch opening. See page  
15 for ordering information. The Filler Panel Kit should be  
installed before the Microwave Oven/Hood is installed.  
66" or more  
from floor  
Figure 1  
2 WALL CONSTRUCTION  
This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat  
for proper installation. If the wall is not flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction should be a minimum of  
2” x 4” wood studding and 3/8” or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must be capable of  
supporting weight of 110 pounds—the oven and contents—AND the weight of all items which would normally be  
stored in the top cabinet above the unit.  
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2” x 4” wall stud.  
To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods may be used:  
A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in the stud.  
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.  
The center of the stud can be located by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and then  
placing a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16” or 24” to either  
side of this mark.

3 ELECTRICAL 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 oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO NOT UNDER ANY  
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.  
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to a separate 120 Volt AC,  
60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single grounded receptacle. The receptacle  
should be located inside the cabinet directly above the Microwave Oven mounting  
location as shown in Figure 2.  
NOTE:  
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical  
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.  
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.  
Figure 2

Receptacle  
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.  
Opening for  
Power Cord  
4 HOOD EXHAUST DUCT  
When the hood is vented to the outside, a hood exhaust duct is required. All ductwork must be metal; absolutely do  
not use plastic duct. Check that all connections are made securely. Please read the following carefully:  
Exhaust connection: The hood exhaust has been designed to connect to a standard 3-1/4” X 10” rectangular  
duct. If round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round adapter must be used.  
Rear exhaust: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, care should be taken to align the exhaust with the space  
between the studs, or wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between wall  
studs to accommodate exhaust.  
Maximum duct length: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3-1/4” X 10” rectangular or 6”  
diameter round duct should not exceed 140 feet.  
Figure 3  
Elbows, adapters, wall caps, roof caps, etc. present  
additional resistance to air flow and are equivalent to  
a section of straight duct which is longer than their  
actual physical size. When calculating the total length,  
add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and  
adapters plus the length of all straight duct sections.  
Figure 3 shows the approximate feet of equivalent  
length of some typical ductwork parts. Use the values  
in parentheses for calculating air flow resistance  
equivalent, which should total less than 140 feet.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW  
ABOUT YOUR OVEN  
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you  
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully  
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.  
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 33 and 34 for ordering the  
Ultimate Accessory, the SHARP CAROUSEL  
MICROWAVE COOKBOOK.  
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.  
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.  
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be  
used to dry clothes or newspapers.  
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb  
the microwave energy.  
All ovens are rated 1000 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.

The following coverings are ideal:  
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for re-  
heating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.  
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking  
and reheating:  
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and  
reheating.  
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as

Vent so steam can escape.  
Corningware®.  
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)  
• microwave-safe plastics  
• paper plates  
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice  
because heat is kept near the food to hasten  
cooking.  
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and  
porcelain  
• 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.  
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended  
preheating time. Follow manufacturer's  
directions.)

ing of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:  
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave  
oven:  
• wood, straw, wicker  
• 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.  
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  
• 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.  
• food storage bags  
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.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE  
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use  
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.  
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.  
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;  
if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.  
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not  
a toy. See page 28 for Child Lock feature.  
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

through cooking both from top to bottom and from  
the center of the dish to the outside.  
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount  
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food  
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.  
Add standing time. Remove food from oven and  
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows  
the food to finish cooking without overcooking.  
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.  
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that  
cooking temperatures have been reached.  
Doneness signs include:  
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.  
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.  
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.  
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.  
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice  
during cooking, if possible.  
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.  
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.  
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.  
ABOUT SAFETY  
Check foods to see that they are cooked to  
the United States Department of Agriculture's  
recommended temperatures.  
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.  
TEMP

FOOD  
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from

a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and  
oven cooking bags away from the face.  
... for fresh pork, ground meat,  
boneless white poultry, fish,

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.  
Use care when removing items from the oven so  
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not  
touch the safety door latches.

CLEANING AND CARE  
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.  
Exterior  
Waveguide Cover  
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.  
The waveguide cover is located on the right side wall  
of the oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires  
special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to as-  
sure 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.  
Door  
Be careful with the edge of the oven door as it is glass  
and could chip or break. 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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. The rack can be cleaned  
with hot soapy water, rinsed and dried.  
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.  
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.  
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 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. 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.

REPLACING PARTS  
CHARCOAL FILTER  
WORK LIGHT AND NIGHT LIGHT  
Charcoal Filter, Sharp part number RK-240 which was  
installed in your oven, is used for nonvented, recircu-  
lated installation. The filter should be changed every  
6 to 12 months depending on use. See page 14 for  
ordering information.  
1. To replace light bulbs, first disconnect power to the

2. To release cover, remove the screw on the light cover.  
(See illustration.)  
3. Replace light bulbs with equivalent watt bulb  
available from your 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.  
1. Disconnect power to the oven at the circuit breaker  
panel or by unplugging.  
2. Remove the three louver mounting screws and  
push down carefully on the tab at each end of the  
louver to disengage it. (See illustration.)  
4. Close light cover and secure with screw removed in  
step 2.  
3. Pull the louver away from the unit.  
4. Change the charcoal filter.  
CAUTION: Light cover may become very hot. Do not  
touch glass when light is on.
