ity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE

WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the

right cavity wall. Read

door. If there is any damage, do not operate the

oven and contact your dealer or SHARP

AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

Choosing a Location for Your Oven

You will use the oven frequently so plan its loca-

tion for ease of use. It's wise, if possible, to have

counter space on at least one side of the oven.

Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at

the rear of the oven for air circulation. Do not place

or install the oven in any area where heat and

steam are generated; for example, next to or

above a conventional gas or electric range or

above a conventional wall oven. Heat and steam

may damage the electronics or the mechanical

parts of the oven.

the Operation Manual.

2. the feature sticker, if

there is one, from the

outside of the door.

Check the oven for any

damage, such as mis-

aligned or bent door,

and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges

and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the

G R O U N D I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S

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 electri-

cal 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 serv-

ing 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 qualified 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 becoming 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 extension 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 in-

structions, 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 YOUR OVEN

This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and

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.

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 19 and 20 for ordering

the UltimateAccessory, 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 con-

densation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back

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 clock-

wise and counterclockwise.

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be

used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your oven is rated 1200 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.

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

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 success-

fully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the uten-

sil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

• 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.

Use these utensils for safe microwave 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.

• 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

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.)

How to use aluminum foil in your microwave

oven:

These items can be used for short time reheat-

ing of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:

• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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.

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.

The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;

if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one

cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing

on the oven door.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not

a toy. See page 17 for Child Lock feature.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards

outside of dish.

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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

POPCORN/SENSOR

REHEAT/ SENSOR COOK

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.

8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If addi-

tional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

9. Popcorn and Sensor Reheat can only be entered

within 3 minutes after cooking, opening and clos-

ing the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.

10. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch CUSTOM

HELP pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in

the display.

Using Sensor Settings:

1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before

using Popcorn, Sensor Reheat or Sensor Cook.

Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover

recommended in the chart for these foods.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and

the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any mois-

ture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

1. Casserole lid.

3. The oven works with foods at normal storage tem-

perature. For example, popcorn would be at room

temperature.

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.

4. Popcorn,Sensor Reheat and any Sensor Cook se-

lection can be programmed with More or Less Time

Adjustment. See page 16.

3. 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.

5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart

should be cooked following the guidelines in any

microwave cookbook.

Be careful when removing any covering to allow

steam to escape away from you.

6. During the first part of Popcorn, Sensor Reheat or

Sensor Cook, food name will appear on the dis-

play. Do not open the oven door or touch STOP/

CLEAR pad during this part of the cooking cycle.

The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If

this occurs, an error message will appear. To con-

tinue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and
