INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Over the Range Microwave Oven/Hood
System. Two people are recommended to install this product.

If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should be completed by a qualified electrician
before the Microwave Oven/Hood is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on

page 7.

1 MOUNTINGSPACE

This Microwave Oven/Hood requires a mounting space on
a wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to be used with

standard 12-inch wall cabinets.
There needs to be least 2 inches from the top of the range

backsplash to the bottom of the over the range.

If the space between the wall cabinets is 36 or 42 inches, a

Filler Panel Kit can be used to fill the gap. The metal filler
panels come in 3-inch wide pairs. One set is needed for a
36-inch opening and 2 sets for a 42-inch opening. The Filler

Panel Kit should be installed before the Microwave Oven/

Hood is installed. See page 14 for ordering informations.

Backsplash _ 1

2 WALLCONSTRUCTION

This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and supported by a fiat vertical wall. The wall must be flat
for proper installation. If the wall is not fiat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction should be a minimum of
2" x 4" wood studding and 3/8" or more thick dry wall or plasterllath. The mounting surfaces must be capable of

supporting weight of 110 pounds--the oven and contents--AND the weight of all items which would normally be
stored in the top cabinet above the unit.

The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2" x 4" wall stud.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods may be used:

A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in the stud.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.

The center of the stud can be located by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and then
placing a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16" or 24" to either

side of this mark.

3 ELECTRICALGROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

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 s-P_oo__u_

The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.

The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to a separate 120 Volt AC, 60
Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single grounded receptacle. The receptacle GroundingPin
should be located inside the cabinet directly above the Microwave Oven mounting

location as shown in Figure 2. 3-ProngReceptacle/f
NOTE:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical

instructions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.

4 HOODEXHAUSTDUCT

When the hood is vented to the outside, a hood exhaust duct is required. All ductwork must be metal; absolutely do
not use plastic duct. Check that all connections are made securely. Please read the following carefully:

Exhaust connection: The hood exhaust has been designed to connect to a standard 3-1/4" X 10" rectangular
duct. If round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round adapter must be used.

Rear exhaust: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, care should be taken to align the exhaust with the
space between the studs, or wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space

between wall studs to accommodate exhaust.
Maximum duct length: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3-1/4" X 10" rectangular or 6"

diameter round duct should not exceed 140 feet.
Elbows, adapters, wall caps, roof caps, etc. present

additional resistance to air flow and are equivalent to a
section of straight duct which is longer than their actual

physical size. When calculating the total length, add
the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adapters
plus the length of all straight duct sections. Figure 3
shows the approximate feet of equivalent length of

some typical ductwork parts. Use the values in paren-
theses for calculating air flow resistance equivalent,

which should total less than 140 feet.

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 35 and 36 for ordering the
Sharp Carousel Microwave Cookbook.

ALWAYS 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

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 1200 watts by using the IEC Test

Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,

IINFORIVIATION 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 success-
fully 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 reheat-

ing of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:

• wood, straw, wicker

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 re-
heating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.

• Wax paper can be used for cooking and
reheating.

• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for micro-

wave use can be used for cooking and reheat-

ing. 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 micro-
wave-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 acces-

sories 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 helshe can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not

a toy. See page 31 for Child Lock feature.

|INFORIVIATION 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 cook-
book 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 ham-

burgers. 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.

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 deft and carry-
out "fresh" food

• 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

foodbome bacteria.

• Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not

touch the safety door latches.

USING THE RACK

The rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated
at one time There are two available rack positions

Select the rack position that maximizes space around
and between the foods Follow directions in Sensor

Reheat for using the rack for reheating two stirrable cas-
seroles. Otherwise set time and power level manually.
Pay close attention to the cooking/reheating progress.
Reposition the foods and reverse them from rack to oven
bottom at least once during any cooking or reheating

time. Using a lower power level will assist in better cook-
ing/reheating uniformity.

AVOID:

• Storing the rack in the microwave oven when not in use

• Popping popcorn with the rack in the microwave oven

• Using any browning dish on the rack

• Using special features, except Sensor Reheat with
the rack

• Cooking directly on the rack--use microwave-safe
cookware

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on

the EASY DEFROST CHART or is above or below the

limits in the AMOUNT column on the EASY DEFROST
CHART (see pages 28-29), you need to defrost manu-

ally.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ-

ously cooked, by using Power Level for 30%. Follow

the exact 3-step procedure found under TO SET

POWER LEVEL. Estimate defrosting time and press
Power Level pad eight times for 30% power.

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 sepa-

rate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not de-

frosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, pro-

gram the oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level
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.

SENSOR CENTER

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 Center.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and
the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any mois-
ture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. The oven works with foods at normal storage tem-
perature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.

4. Any Sensor Center selection can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 32.

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 any sensor cooking or reheat-
ing, food name will appear on the display. Do not open
the oven door or touch Stop/Clear during this part of
the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted.

If this occurs, an error message will appear. To con-

tinue 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,

will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.

8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If addi-
tional 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 food charts.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for
microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approxi-
mately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam

to escape. Plastic wrap should not ouch 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.

REHEAT

REHEAT allows you to reheat many of your favorite
foods. You don't need to calculate cooking time or power

level.

• Suppose you want to reheat lasagna.

Disconnectthe cord before cleaning or leave the door to inactivate the ovenduring cleaning.

Exterior Odor Removal

power open

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 abra-
sive 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. 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 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 set-

ting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces,
wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT USE

ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING
PADS. 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.

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.

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 center 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 embed-
ded dirt.

4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.

5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
