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 amps. 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 amps. 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 serviceperson.
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
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
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 1200 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.
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 31 and 32 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.
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
ABOUT FOOD
DON'T
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.
Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits & vegetables
Popcorn
Baby food
General
• 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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
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.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
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 28 for Child Lock feature.
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
accessories 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.
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used success­fully in your new microwave oven.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware
®
.
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex
®
)
• microwave-safe plastics (some microwave­safe plastics are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content.)
• 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 100% power for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully . Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Foods 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 meats 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.
... 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.
160°F
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recom­mended temperatures:
ABOUT SAFETY
• 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.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
TEMP
• Rearrange foods like 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.

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the COMPU DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the AMOUNT column on the COMPU DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using 30% power. Follow the exact procedure found on page 14. Estimate defrosting time, enter it. Then touch Power Level on the Touch Screen and select 30%.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately four minutes per
pound. For example, defrost four minutes for one 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 one minute increments on 30% power 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.
