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 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 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
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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully 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 page 16 for ordering the Ultimate Accessory, the SHARP CAROUSEL MICROWAVE COOKBOOK.

ABOUT FOOD
FOOD
Eggs,

nuts, seeds
fruits &
vegetables
•Puncture egg yolks before cooking to
prevent “explosion”.
•Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash,
hot dogs and sausages so that steam
escapes.
DO
you 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.
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. Vents
on the oven back must not be blocked.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not
be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 650 watts by using the IEC Test
Procedure.
DON’T
•Cook eggs in shells.
•Reheat whole eggs.
•Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
Popcorn
Baby food
General
•Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave oven.
•Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use
special POPCORN pad.
•Place carefully so bag does not touch
oven walls. The corners of the bag may
be folded down.
•Transfer baby food to small dish and heat
carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving.
•Put nipples on bottles after heating and
shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before
feeding.
•Cut baked goods with filling after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
•Stir liquids briskly before heating and
allow to stand at least for 20 seconds
after heating before stirring or drinking
to avoid eruption.
•Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or
cereals, to prevent boilovers.
•Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or
glass bowls.
•Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.
•Heat baby food in original jars.
•Heat disposable bottles.
•Heat bottles with nipples on.
•Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air
tight containers.
•Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed.
•Deep fat fry.
•Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many
pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure
the utensil does not touch the interior walls during
cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking
and reheating:
•glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as
Corningware
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex
•microwave-safe plastics
• paper plates
•microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended
preheating time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)
®
.
®
)
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
• 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.
The following coverings are ideal:
•Paper towels are good for covering foods for
reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
•Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
•Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch
food. Vent so steam can escape.
•Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice
because heat is kept near the food to hasten
cooking.
•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.
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.
•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 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.
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.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is
not a toy. See page 13 for Child Lock feature.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
•Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
•Watch cooking time. 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 evenly.
•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.
•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 must be turned
over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as 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.
TEMP FOOD
160°F
165°F
170°F
180°F
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.
... for fresh pork, ground meat, bone-
less white poultry, fish, seafood,
egg dishes and frozen prepared
food.
... for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrig-
erated, and deli and carry-out
“fresh” food.
... white meat of poultry.
... dark meat of poultry.
•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 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.

SPECIAL FEATURES
MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
the EXPRESS DEFROST CHART or is above or
below the limits in the “Amount” column on the
EXPRESS DEFROST CHART , you need to defrost
manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously 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.
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 defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments

CLEANING AND CARE
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or
leave the door open to inactivate the oven during 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. A void
the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may
stain, streak or dull the door surface.
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 ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For
heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRA Y OVEN CLEANERS
DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires
special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure 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.
Exterior
Interior
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 a non-abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof.
