INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking and Examining Your Oven

Remove:

1. 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.

2.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 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.

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.

Built-in Kit

Your oven can be built into a cabinet or wall—not near or above a heat source—using Sharp’s Builtin Kit, Model RK-82K(black). 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 tollfree: 1-800-642-2122 for ordering the kit to be sent to your address.

The kit includes ducts and finish trim strips and easy-to-follow instructions for installation as well as the location of the power supply.

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 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 in-

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.

structions, 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.

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 38 and 39 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.

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.

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 convection, grill, roast, AutoBake, AutoPizza, AutoGrill or AutoRoast, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may operate depending on the oven temperature.

Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens have a tendency to become hot.

The oven is hot whenever the top grill, both grill or convection symbols are lighted in the display

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your oven is rated 900 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure method. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.

FOOD

Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds fruits & vegetables

POPCORN

Baby food

General

• 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.

• Use an overturned 9 or 10 inch oven proof glass pie plate on top of the turntable when popping bagged microwave popcorn.

• 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.

DON’T

• 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 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.

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 convection microwave oven. The chart below will help you decide what utensils and coverings should be used in each mode. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

DISH CHECK. If 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. If the dish becomes very hot, do NOT use it for microwaving.

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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

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.

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.

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 20 for Child Lock feature.

• 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.

TEMP FOOD

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.

• 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.

... 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 carryout “fresh” food.

... white meat of poultry.

... dark meat of poultry.

• 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.

• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch away from walls, ceiling and door.

• Use potholders and be careful when using convection, grill, roast, CompuBake, CompuPizza, CompuGrill or CompuRoast as cabinet, interior and door may be too hot to touch.
