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
Check Installation Instructions for proper location for the power supply. 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 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. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUM­STANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
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 pages 29 and 30 for ordering the Ultimate Accessory, 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. See page 11 for complete instructions.
AL W AYS 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. It is normal
ABOUT FOOD
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. Ventilation openings 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 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 accordingly.
FOOD
Eggs, sausages, fruits & vegetables
Popcorn
Baby food
General
DO
• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent “explosion”.
• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes.
• 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.
• 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 and after heating to avoid “eruption”.
• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers.
DON’T
• Cook eggs in shells.
• Reheat whole eggs.
• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.
• Exceed maximum time on popcorn package.
• Heat disposable bottles.
• Heat bottles with nipples on.
• Heat baby food in original jars.
• 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 accesso-
ries 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 25 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,
boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
...for leftover, ready-to-reheat
refrigerated, 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.

The Rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated at one time. However, for the best cooking and reheat­ing, use the turntable on and the automatic features.
When using the Rack, set time and power level manu­ally. Allow plenty of space around and between the dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking/reheating progress. Reposition the foods and reverse them from rack to turntable at least once during any cooking or reheating time. Using a lower power level will assist in better cooking/reheating uniformity.
AVOID:
• Storing the Rack in the oven when not in use.
• Popping popcorn on the turntable with the Rack in the oven.
• Using any browning dish on the Rack.
• Using special features with the Rack. Special fea­tures are designed to be used with foods only on the revolving turntable.
• Cooking directly on the Rack—use microwave-safe cookware.
MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the SuperDefrost or CompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the SuperDefrost or CompuDefrost Chart, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ­ously cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking above. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 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 on Power Level 3 until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

SPECIAL FEATURES
SENSOR COOKING
Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using Sensor Cooking.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any mois­ture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
3. The oven works with foods at normal storage tem­perature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
4. Any Sensor Cooking selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
6. During the first part of Sensor Cooking, food name will appear on the display . Do not open the oven door or touch Stop/Clear during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/Clear pad and cook manually.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods, turn off.

8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If addi­tional time is needed, continue to cook manually.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch Custom Help pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the Sensor Cooking chart for these foods.
1. Casserole lid.
2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.
3. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover .
Be careful when removing any covering to allow steam to escape away from you.
SENSOR REHEAT
You can cook many foods by touching just one pad. Y ou don’t need to calculate cooking time or power level.
Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.

CLEANING AND CARE
Exterior
The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. 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
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. 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.
Interior
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and set­ting of spills or spattering. T o clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING P ADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. The rack can be cleaned with hot soapy water, rinsed and dried.
T urntable/T urntable 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 non-abrasive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should be wiped up immediately.
Turntable Turntable Support
Grease Filters
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the oven and remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter .
2. Soak the filters in a sink or dish pan filled with hot water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or other alkali; they will react with the filter material and darken it.
3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embed­ded dirt.
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the oven cavity. It 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.
Odor Removal
Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the oven. T o 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.
