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 SERVICE STATION.
Choosing a Location for Your Oven
You willuse your oven frequently so plan its locationfor ease of use. The ovenmust be placed on a countertopwhichis a minimum of
36 inches from the floor. Allow at least2 inches on thesides, top and at the rear of the oven for air circulation.Be sure to positionoven
so that the rear cannot be touched inadvertently.

Hinges-
It is important that all instructions for electrical connection and grounding be followed to eliminate any hazard or chance of
electrical short circuit. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
All electrical work must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric
shock.
3-Prong Plug
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more fused
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. 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

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 ofthe extension cord should beAC 115-120 volt,

About Your Oven
This Operation Manual is valuable: read itcarefully and always save it for reference.
The Sharp Carousel II Convection Microwave Cookbook is a valuable asset. Check if frequently for cooking principles,
techniques, hints and recipes.
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.
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.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture infood will influence the amount of moisture
that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven
back must not be blocked.
After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may operate as long as 5
minutes, depending on the oven temperature.
Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens have a tendency to become hot during convection,
automatic mix and broil cooking.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 900 watts using the IEC 705-1988 method. In using recipes or package directions, check food at the minimum
time and add time accordingly.

DISH CHECK. If 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. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.
ACCESSORIES. There are many microwave accessories available for purchase such as popcorn poppers and thermometers.
Evaluate carefully before purchasing. A microwave safe or dual safe microwave/conventional thermometer will assist you in
determining doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to a safe temperature. The dual safe thermometer can be
used with mix cooking.

About Microwave Cooking
* Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
* Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Foods 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 evenly.
* Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking or over defrosting.
* 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 hamburgers. Large items like roasts
or turkey breasts 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 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.
About Safety
* Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures:
- 165°F. for leftover, ready-to-heat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out "fresh" food.
- 170°F. white meat of poultry.
I - 160°F. for fresh pork, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food. |
- 180°F. dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer
in food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
* 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 wave guide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.
* Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door.
* Use potholders and be careful when using convection, mix or broil cooking as cabinet, interior and door may be too hot to
touch.
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.
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.
