UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking and Examining Your Oven
Remove: all packing materials from inside the
oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE
WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the
right cavity wall. Read enclosures and SAVE the
Operation Manual and Touch Guide.
Choosing a Location for Your Oven
You will use your oven frequently so plan its location for ease of use. The oven must be placed
on a countertop which is a minimum of 36 inches
from the floor. Allow at least 2 inches on the sides,
top and at the rear of the oven for air circulation.
Be sure to position oven so that the rear cannot
be touched inadvertently.
Safety door latches Waveguide cover
Door seals and sealing surfaces
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.
Before using the Sharp Commercial High Speed
Oven, remove the protective blue vinyl covering
by peeling it from the cabinet.
Door hinges
Do not place or install the oven in any area where
heat and steam are generated; for example, next
to or above a gas or electric range. Heat and
steam may damage the electronics or the
mechanical parts of the oven.
Never stack two ovens.

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 208 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 20 amp. or more protected electrical supply.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. The 208 volt circuit is
absolutely necessary for optimum cooking performance.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded.
Receptacle Box Cover
3-Pronged NEMA plug
(6-20P)
3-Pronged, NEMA receptacle
(6-20R)
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 high speed oven. The marked rating of
the extension cord should be AC 208 volt, 20 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 high speed oven to your radio or TV, check that the high
speed 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.
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 microwave 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.
ABOUT FOOD
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back
must not be blocked.
After using, the cooling fan may come on to cool the
oven cavity. The display will show NOW COOLING,
and you will hear the sound of the fan.
Unlike microwave-only ovens, your oven may become
hot during cooking. Be cautious.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
The microwave capability of your oven is rated 1000
watts by using the IEC Test Procedure.
FOOD
Eggs, sausages,
nuts, seeds
fruits &
vegetables
Popcorn

and listen while popping corn for the
popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds.
• Use an overturned 9 or 10 inch oven
proof glass pie plate on top of the turntable when popping bagged microwave popcorn.
• 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

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave
on 100% microwave power for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.
AUTOMATIC COOKING Use the recommended container in the cooking chart in this operation manual and display.
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 when using microwave-only cooking.
Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.
CAUTION When using HIGH SPEED GRILL WITH MICRO, SPEED GRILL WITH MICRO, SPEED ROAST or during
automatic cooking, some metal baking utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact with the turntable, oven
walls or accessory racks. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal.
When using a pizza pan, use only ones that are smooth with no crevices. Disposable foil pizza pans can be used.
If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish, such as a Pyrex pie plate or oven-glass plate, between the pan and the
turntable or rack. If arcing continues to occur, discontinue using that pan.
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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT COOKING WITH HEAT
• The oven cabinet, cavity, door, accessories and
dishes will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use
thick oven gloves when removing the food or turntable from the oven.
• When preheating, the turntable can be left in or re-
moved. When using the high rack for 2 shelf baking
in a preheated oven, it is easier to remove the turntable for preheat. Place high rack on turntable along
with foods. When preheat is over, open oven door
and quickly place turntable, high rack and foods to
be baked inside.
ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
