one, from the out-

side of the door.
Check the oven for any damage, such as mis­aligned or bent door, damaged door seals and
sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges

and 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 (50mm) 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 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 pages 19 and 20
for ordering 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

absorb the microwave energy.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%,

ABOUT FOOD

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 800 watts by using the IEC Test
Procedure.

FOOD

Eggs,
sausages,
nuts, seeds
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.

• 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.

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 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 16 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.

ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture's recom­mended temperatures.

NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during
cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven
use.

... for fresh pork, ground meat, bone-

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.

• 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.

• 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

DEFROST

Defrost automatically defrosts ground meat, steaks, chops and poultry. Round the weight to the nearest
half pound. (Ex. if the steak’s actual weight is 2.2 lb, round to 2.0 lb. If the steak’s weight is 2.4 lb, round
to 2.5 lb.)

•Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 lb steak.

PROCEDURE

You do not need to select

food. To enter weight, touch
the DEFROST pad for a .5 lb
increase per touch.

Quickly touch DEFROST
pad 4 times for 2.0 lb be­cause the oven starts auto­matically.

The oven will stop so that the food can be
checked.

After the 1st stage, open the door.

NOTE:

1. Defrost can only be entered within 3 minutes

after cooking, opening and closing the door or
touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.

2. Defrost can be programmed with More or Less

Time Adjustment. See page 16.

3. You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of

pounds. This procedure may be easier with
larger weights such as 3.0 lb because it requires
fewer touches. To program, touch DEFROST
and enter weight by touching the number pads.
Example: touch DEFROST then 3 and 0 for a
weight of three pounds. If you attempt to enter
more or less than the allowed amount,
will appear in the display.

SPECIAL FEATURES

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the
limits in the AMOUNT column on the 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 10. 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
at 30% 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.

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. Then wipe with a clean damp­ened cloth and polish dry with a soft cloth. Do not use
any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Door

Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth
to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier
to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth.
Avoid 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 soft 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 damp cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR
HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier
soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DI­RECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF THE OVEN.

Waveguide Cover

The waveguide cover , located on the right wall of the cavity ,
is made from mica so requires special care. Keep the
waveguide cover clean to assure good oven performance.
Carefully wipe with a soft 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.
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.
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess wa­ter or spills should be wiped up immediately.
