IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to
excessive microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the
appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAU-
TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” on page 2.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on
page 5.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers — for example, closed
glass jars — are able to explode and should
not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this manual. Do not use
corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically
designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is
necessary when used by children.
8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.
9. This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Contact nearest
Sharp Authorized Servicer for examination,
repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the
appliance.
11. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
Do not use this product near water—for
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter.
15. See door surface cleaning instructions on
page 14.
16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
to appliance when paper, plastic or
other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite,
keep oven door closed, turn oven off
and disconnect the power cord or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage pur-
poses. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils or food in the cavity
when not in use.
17. Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able
to be overheated beyond the boiling point
without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed
from the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER
WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the
risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway
through heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers
with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed
container.
d. After heating, allow the container to
stand in the microwave oven at least
for 20 seconds before removing the
container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the container.
18. If the oven light fails, consult a SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking and Examining Your Oven
1. Remove all packing materials from inside the
oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE
WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the
top cavity wall. Read enclosures and SAVE the
Operation Manual.
2. Remove the feature
sticker, if there is one,
from the outside of the
door.
Check the oven for any
damage, such as misaligned or bent door,
damaged door seals and
Waveguide
sealing surfaces, broken
cover
or loose door hinges and
Hinges
Safety door latches
Door seals and
sealing surfaces
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
SERVICER.
Choosing a Location for Your Oven
You will use the oven frequently so plan its location 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 (50 mm) 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.
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 with a grounded
receptacle box 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.

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 pages 15 and 16 for ordering the Cook
Information, the SHARP CAROUSEL MICROWAVE
COOKBOOK.
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.
ABOUT FOOD
When using the oven for Express Defrost, 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 600 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check
food at the minimum time and add time accordingly.
FOOD
Eggs, sausages,
nuts, seeds
fruits &
vegetables
Popcorn
Baby food
General

or cereals, to prevent boilovers.

• Reheat whole eggs.
• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
•Pop popcorn in regular brown bags
or glass bowls.
• Exceed maximum time on popcorn
package.
