UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking and Examining Your Oven
1. Remove all packing materials from inside the oven
cavity. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE
COVER, which is located on the right 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 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 (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 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 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 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 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 have food in the oven when it is on to absorb
the microwave energy.
ABOUT FOOD
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 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.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 1100 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 DO DON'T

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.)
®
.
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.
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.
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave
oven:
• Small fl at 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 accessories
available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you
purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwavesafe 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 17 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 fl at 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.

NOTE: Do not cook whole, stuffed
poultry. Cook stuffi ng sepa-
rately to 165°F (74ºC).
• 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 fi nish 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 fl akes 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 fi res.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the safety door latches.
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.
