Choosing a Location for Your Oven on
the counter

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 on the sides, top and at the rear of the oven
for air circulation.

Choosing a Location for Your Oven if built-in

Your microwave oven can be built into a cabinet or
wall using a Sharp built-in kit. Built-in kits are available
to fit 27” or 30” cabinets.

The floor of the opening should be constructed of
plywood strong enough to support the weight of the
oven and floor load (about 100 pounds). The floor
should be level for proper operation of the oven. Be
sure to check the local building code as it may require
that the opening be enclosed with sides, ceiling and
rear partition. The proper functioning of the oven does
not require the enclosure.

If your dealer does not stock the kit, it can be ordered
directly from the Sharp Accessories and Supplies

Center. Have your credit card number available and
call toll-free: 1-800-642-2122 for ordering the kit to be
sent to your address.

The kit includes all the neccessary parts and easy-to­follow instructions for installation as well as location of
the power supply.

The ease of assembly for these kits will allow installa­tion into an existing wall opening in less than an hour if
power outlet is already properly located. All it takes are
four steps and a Phillips screw driver.

g R O U N D I N g I N S T R U C T I O N S

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.

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 30 and 31 for ordering
the Sharp Microwave Oven 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.

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. 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.

ABOUT FOOD

FOOD DO DON'T

Eggs, sausages,
nuts, seeds, fruits
& vegetables

• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to
prevent “explosion”.

• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash,
hot dogs and sausages so that steam
escapes.

• Cook eggs in shells.

• Reheat whole eggs.

• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

Popcorn

Baby food

General

• 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.

6

• 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.

I N F O R M A T I O N Y O U N E E D T O k N O W

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 ac-

cessories 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 27 for Child Lock feature.

I N F O R M A T I O N Y O U N E E D T O k N O W

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 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.

T E M P F O O D

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, bone-

less white poultry, fish, seafood,
egg dishes and frozen prepared
food.

... for leftover, ready-to-reheat re-

frigerated, 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.

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 Charts (page 23 and

24), you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously

cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 4-step
procedure found under To Set Power Level. Estimate
defrosting time and press Power Level 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 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.

TO SET POWER LEVEL

There are eleven preset power levels.
Using lower power levels increases the cooking time

which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk
and long slow cooking of meats. Consult cookbook or
recipes for specific recommendations.

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 tem
perature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.

4. Any Sensor Cooking selection can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 26.

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, the 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.
The 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, ERROR will be displayed, and the oven will
turn off.

8. Check food for temperature or doneness after
cooking. If food is not completely cooked, enter
additional cooking time manually. Do not press
Sensor Cook again as food may overcook.

9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch CUSTOM

pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the

HELP

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.

EXAMPLE:
You can cook many foods by simply selecting the food

and touching Start/Touch On. You don’t need to cal­culate cooking time or power level.

• Suppose you want to reheat canned chili.

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; 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.

Cleaners which are marked specifically for use with
stainless steel may be used for stainless steel model.
Follow package directions exactly. Avoid the use of any
harsh cleaners or one not marked for stainless steel use
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 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 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. NEVER
SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY
PART OF THE OVEN.

Waveguide Cover

The waveguide cover 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.
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 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.
