Permanent and Correct Installation
Temporary Use
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 the 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 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 qualifi ed
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 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 qualifi ed 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 part of
the oven to your radio or TV, check that the 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
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in each cooking mode. When heating food
in plastic containers, pay special attention to the melting temperature of the containers. Never heat the plastic
containers at over their melting temperature. Keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of melting and ignition.
DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and
microwave on 100% power for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave or heat-resistant 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 when using
microwave-only cooking. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.
For automatic cooking, use the recommended container in the cooking chart in this operation manual or the
cookbook.
ABOUT STEAM COOKING
There are certain techniques for cooking with steam. It is essential that these techniques are followed for good
results. Many of them are similar to those used in conventional cooking so may require little change. Note
information in all of the charts in the cookbook for all cooking options that use Steam (Healthy Cooking*, Steam
Cook High, Steam Cook Low).
*Except for Auto Grill
• Always attend the oven when in use.
• Use utensils/cookware suitable for the cooking mode as described on page 7.
• Ventilate the room to allow the steam to dissipate.
• After cooking and the oven has cooled, remove and empty the water tank, wipe oven cavity with a
soft cloth or sponge. Empty the drip tray.
FOR STEAM COOKING
Cooking Techniques
Container
Covering
Door
Stir
Stand
Ensure food is arranged evenly. Food which has little or no space between will
take longer to cook, please ensure food is positioned with enough space between
items to allow the steam to circulate around it. For the container, a shallow dish is
suitable. It is not recommended to use dense dishes, because of the thickness of
such dishes, recommended cooking times will have to be extended.
Covering is not necessary in most cases. If a cover is required, aluminum foil is
recommended to keep food from becoming wet from the condensed water in the
oven cavity. Covered food will take longer to cook.
For accurate cooking times, keep the door closed.
Sometimes soups or casseroles reheated without covering look watery after
cooking. Appearance will be better if stirred well.
Standing time is recommended after cooking to allow heat to disperse equally
throughout the food. Do not allow to stand in the oven for a long time; food may be
overcooked or wet from the residual steam.

FOR STEAM COOKING
Food Characteristics
Density
Quantity
Size
Shape
Temperature of Food
Seasoning and
Flavoring
• Check that food is thoroughly cooked/reheated before serving.
• Cooking time will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the size,
shape and material of the container.
CAUTION:
• Always use dry pot holders or oven mitts to remove food or utensils from the oven.
• Be careful when opening the oven door to allow steam to dissipate.
• Do not remove the food from the oven with your bare hand.
• Check the temperature of food and drink and stir before serving.
• Take special care when serving to babies, children or the elderly.
Food density will affect the amount of cooking time. Cut the food into thinner parts,
if possible, and arrange in single layer.
The cooking time must be increased as the amount increases.
Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as heat can penetrate
from all sides to the center. For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.
Foods which are irregular in shape, such as chicken breasts or drumsticks,
may take longer to cook in the thicker parts. Check that these parts are cooked
thoroughly before serving.
The initial temperature of food affects the cooking time. Chilled foods will take
longer to cook than foods at room temperature. The temperature of the container
is not the actual temperature of the food or drink.
Seasoning or fl avoring are best added after cooking. If added as marinades or
rubs, the taste may become less pronounced when cooking with steam. Add
seasoning or fl avoring again after cooking, if necessary.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
* ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.
* Your oven is rated 900 watts using the IEC Test
Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,
check food at the minimum time and add time
accordingly.
* Condensation is a normal part of microwave
cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in
food will infl uence 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.
* 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 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
* Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed
* Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through
* Add standing time. Remove food from oven
* Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that
Doneness signs include:
– Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
– Center bottom of dish is very hot to the

ABOUT CHILDREN
Children below the age of 7 should use the 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.

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.
Use care when removing items from the oven so
•
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the door projection.
Do not touch around the oven light. This part will
•
become hot when the oven light is on.
To avoid burns, always be careful of splashing
•
grease from the baking tray when removing
roasted or broiled meats from the oven.
To avoid burns, always test food and container
•
temperature and stir before serving. Pay special
attention to the temperature of containers, foods
and drinks. Do not drink beverage or soup without
checking the container’s temperature.
Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet,
•
rear cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings,
accessories, dishes and the escaping steam from
the air vent openings during operation because
they will become hot.
Do not operate the oven if water tank cracks and
•
water leaks. Call 1-800-BE-SHARP to purchase a
replacement part.
After use, condensed water may be inside oven
•
cavity, especially on the oven fl oor. Dry any liquid
residue with a sponge and wipe out to keep the
oven clean.
Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during
•
operation.
Do not move the oven during the operation. If the
•
oven needs to be moved, always drain all water
inside the oven using the DRAIN WATER function
(See page 16). After draining, empty the drip tray.
To prevent condensation, which could corrode the
•
appliance, do not leave cooked food in the oven
for an extended period.
Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove
•
any food deposits in the oven or on the door.
Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying.
•
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. In Steam, Grill and
Grill Mix modes, cabinet, interior and door may be
too hot to touch.
Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1
•
inch (2.54 cm) away from walls, ceiling and door
for microwave cooking.
Do not pour cold water on the oven fl oor after
•
cooking as it might break.
Do not pour cold water on the door as it might
•
break.
Do not touch hot surfaces.
•
The use of accessory attachments not
•
recommended by the appliance manufacturer may
cause injuries.
The oven should not be left unattended during
•
operation. Oven temperatures that are too high
or cooking times that are too long may overheat
foods resulting in a fi re.
Do not insert fi ngers or objects in the steam outlets
•
or air vent openings, as this may damage the oven
and cause an electric shock or a hazard.
If any objects drop inside the air vent openings,
•
turn off the oven immediately, unplug and consult a
Sharp Authorized Servicer.
Do not touch the plug with wet hands when
•
inserting or removing from the outlet. Plug securely
into the electric wall receptacle and remove by
gripping on the plug end. Never pull using just the
cord.
