ABOUT UNPACKING AND EXAMINING
YOUR MICROWAVE DRAWER
1 Remove all packing
materials from inside
the Microwave Drawer.
DO NOT REMOVE
THE WAVEGUIDE
COV E R, wh i ch is
lo cate d on the top
of t he M ic r owave
Drawer.
2 Remove the feature
sticker, if there is one.
Check the drawer for
any damage, such as
misaligned or bent
drawer, damaged drawer seals and sealing surfaces, broken
or loose drawer guides and dents inside the cavity or on the
front side of the drawer. If there is any damage, do not operate
the Microwave Drawer and contact your dealer or a SHARP
AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the Microwave
Drawer to your radio or TV, check that the Microwave Drawer
is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far
away from the drawer as feasible or check position and signal
of receiving antenna.
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. The Microwave Drawer
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
re duces risk of electric
sh o ck by prov iding an
escape wire for the electric
current.
– Improper
use of the grounding plug
can resu lt in a ri sk of
electric shock. Do not use
an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a qualied electrician
or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service
person.
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE DRAWER
ALWAYS have food in the Microwave Drawer when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.
The vent under the Microwave Drawer must not be blocked.
During microwaving, steam may come from the right side of
the vent.
When using the Microwave Drawer at power levels below 100%,
you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for
the exterior of the Microwave Drawer 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 inuence the amount of
moisture that condenses in the Microwave Drawer. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered
ones.
The Microwave Drawer is for food preparation only. It should
not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Microwave Drawer is 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
a cc or di ngly.
When opening or closing the Microwave Drawer quickly, food
in the Microwave Drawer may be spilled. To clean, please refer
to the Cleaning and Care section on page 19.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
See page 21 for ordering the Sharp Carousel Microwave
Cookbook.
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
ev en ly.
• Shield with small at 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 right to left.
• Add standing time. Remove food from Microwave Drawer
and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows
the food to nish 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 akes easily with a fork.
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
Drawer. 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
• microwave-safe 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 Drawer:
• Small at 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 Microwave Drawer.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a
good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories
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 Microwave Drawer when
accessories are used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE
MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the Microwave Drawer
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 Microwave Drawer
com for ta bl y.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the
Microwave Drawer.
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.
Donʼt assume that because a child has mastered one cooking
skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the Microwave Drawer is not a toy.
See page 17 for Control Lock feature.

ABOUT SAFETY
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States •
Department of Agricultureʼs recommended temperatures.
145˚F - Fish.
160˚F - Pork, ground beef/veal/lamb, egg dishes
165˚F - For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli
and carry-out “fresh” food. Whole, pieces and
ground turkey/chicken/duck.
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 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.
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
• 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 Microwave Drawer while it’s in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of
overcooking food.
• NEVER use the Microwave Drawer 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 res. See page 19.
ABOUT FOODS
FOOD DO DON’T
Eggs, sausages, fruits &
vegetables
• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent
“explosion”.
• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot
dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.
• Cook eggs in shells.
• Reheat whole eggs.
• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
Popcorn • Use specially bagged popcorn for the
microwave.
• Listen while popping corn for the popping to
slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special Sensor
Popcorn pad.
• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.
• Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.
