combustible materials are placed inside
the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on page 3.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in ac-
cordance with the provided installation in-
structions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers —for example, closed
glass jars — are able to explode and should
not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual. Do not use cor-
rosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance.
This type of oven is specifically designed to
heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a dam-
aged cord or plug, if it is not working prop-
erly or if it has been damaged or dropped.
9. This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact near-
est Sharp Authorized Servicer for examina-
tion, repair or adjustment.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn oven off

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 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 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 quali-
fied 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 becom-
ing 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 exten-
sion 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
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.

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many The following coverings are ideal:
pieces already in your kitchen can be used suc-
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for
reheating and absorbing fat while cooking ba-
con.
cessfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure
the utensil does not touch the interior walls during
cooking.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and re-
heating.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking
and reheating:
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for mi-
crowave use can be used for cooking and re-
heating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch
food. Vent so steam can escape.
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as
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 porce-
lain
• 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 direc-
tions.)
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.
These items can be used for short time reheating
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
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to
any surface of the oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or cov-
erings, check a good microwave cookbook or fol-
low recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave acces-
sories 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.
• 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.

small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on Instant Start allows you to cook or reheat many of

EXPRESS DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost
manually.
P R O C E D U R E
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or pre-
viously 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.

TOES pad once.
The oven starts auto-
matically.
To cook double quantity, touch the same pad twice
within 1 second.
Instant Start can only be entered within 3 minutes
after cooking, opening and closing the door or
touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.
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 casserole 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 defrost-
ing time, program the oven in 1 minute increments
at 30% until totally defrosted.
Instant Start can be programmed with More or Less
Time adjustment. See page 13.
TIPS: Foods can be covered with wax paper
or vented plastic wrap. Temperatures of
foods covered with plastic wrap tend to
be slightly higher than those covered
with wax paper.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, de-
frost only long enough to remove from the plastic
in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.
Stir items after removing from oven, if
possible.

FRESH VEGETABLES
1 - 2 cups For beans, carrots, corn and peas, add 1 tablespoon of
water per cup. For broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage and
cauliflower, cook immediately after washing with no addi-
tional water.
If you like tender crisp vegetables, double measured quan-
tity per setting. For example, use 2 cups cauliflower and
program for 1 cup. After cooking, remove from oven, stir,
cover and let stand 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or
leave the door open to inactivate the oven dur-
ing cleaning.
Exterior
The outside surface is painted. 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 spray and other harsh cleaners as they may
stain, streak or dull the door surface.
Exterior
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 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 cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRA-
SIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For
heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thor-
oughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS
DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN.
Interior
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover 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.
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/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-abra-
sive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess wa-
ter or spills should be wiped up immediately.
