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 lo-
cation 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 wallnot near or above a heat sourceusing Sharps Built­in Kit, Model RK-82K(black). If your dealer does not stock the kit, order directly by calling 1-800­642-2122 to have it 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-
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.
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 38 and 39 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.
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.
ABOUT FOOD
After using convection, grill, roast, CompuBake, CompuPizza, CompuGrill or CompuRoast, 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-705-1988 method. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
.

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 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 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.
Dont 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.
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.

During convection heating, hot air is circulated through­out the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods quickly and evenly. This oven can be programmed for ten dif­ferent convection cooking temperatures for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds.
The oven should not be used without the turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so that it can­not rotate. You may remove the turntable when pre­heating the oven and when preparing food to be cooked directly on the turntable.
Warning:
All of the oven parts, including the bottom heater as well as the rack and cooking containers, may become very hot. Use caution when removing any item from the oven. Use heavy potholders or oven mitts to PRE­VENT BURNS.

Helpful Hints for Convection, Roast and Grill Cooking
Your Sharp Grill 2 Convection Microwave Oven can cook any food perfectly because of the number of ways it can cook: microwave, roast (convection with microwave cooking), convection and grill. The Cook­ing Guides on pages 24 to 39 have excellent in­structions, guidelines, hints, charts and recipes to help you get the best use of your oven. Consult them often until you are familiar with the oven.
Convection Cooking:
1. When preheating, the turntable can be left in or removed.
2. Do not cover turntable or rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that cooks food.
3. Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for many convection-only items. Choose pans that do not have extended handles.
4. When baking, check for doneness after time has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in oven
a few minutes to complete cooking.
Grill Cooking
1. Using a preheated rack can give a grilled appear­ance to steaks, hot dogs etc.
2. Foods, such as vegetables or frozen snack foods, can be grilled directly on the turntable.
3. The turntable has an easy clean finish; however, be careful not to scratch the surface when turn­ing foods. Heat-resistance plastic spatulas work
well.
Roast Cooking
1. Meats and poultry are best when roasted directly on the rack. A shallow dish can be placed below the food if gravy is to be made from the drippings.
2. Less tender cuts can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.
NOTE:
During ROAST, some metal baking utensils may cause arcing when they come in contact with the turntable, oven walls or rack. Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs when microwaves come in contact with metal.

OTHER CONVENIENT FEATURES
MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the CompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the CompuDefrost Chart, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time Cooking on page 9. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power level.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 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 on Power Level 3 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.
TOUCH ON
Touch On allows you to cook at 100% power by touching the Start/Touch On continuously. Touch On is ideal for melting cheese, bringing milk to just below boiling etc. The maximum cooking time is 3 minutes.
Suppose you want to melt cheese on a piece of toast.

CLEANING AND CARE
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure the oven door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, air vent openings, turntable, turntable support and racks are cool.
Exterior
Clean the outside with mild soap and water; wipe 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. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
Touch Control Panel
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. Open the oven door before cleaning to inactivate the control panel. 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.
Interior
The oven should be washed using hot soapy water and a sponge or soft cloth whenever spatters occur. Rinse thoroughly and polish dry. You can hold the bottom heater up while cleaning under it. After cleaning, return it to the oven bottom.
For heavy stains, it may be necessary to use an oven cleaning gel; use only on the stainless steel interior of the oven. Follow the cleaners directions exactly, always being sure to rinse using a sponge or soft cloth until all traces of cleaner are removed and then polish dry with a soft cloth.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVES OR SCOURING PADS ON YOUR OVEN AS THEY MAY SCRATCH. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ON ANY PART OF YOUR 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/Rack
The turntable, turntable support and rack 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.

COOKING GUIDES
INTRODUCTION
The Grill 2 Convection Microwave oven is the ultimate cooking team. This state-of-the-art system brings together the best of all worlds. Enjoy the browning and crisping capabilities of convection plus the speed of microwave cooking. Microwaving brings out the natural flavor of foods and keeps them moist and juicy. Convection and grill cooking add the advantage of browning and crisping food beautifully. Roast is a conbination setting which uses convection heat to seal and brown the outside while using microwave energy to make sure the interior is cooked.
What is CONVECTION Cooking?
With convection cooking, a high speed fan circulates air past the heat source and around the food. The superheated air browns and crisps the food beautifully. See page 34 for Convection Baking Chart.
* Use the CONVEC settings for baking most items. Note that there are 3 special settings for baking cakes,
angel food cake and yeast breads. These settings are specially designed to provide optimum baking of these foods.
* The Interactive Display provides specific directions for using all of the settings.
s
What is GRILL Cooking?
When using GRILL, most food is elevated on the rack, allowing cooking to occur on all sides simultaneously. It is usually not necessary to turn foods over during grilling, Fats drip away from the food, providing for great flavor without all the fat. See page 31 for Grilling Chart.
*
Use the GRILL setting for everything you’d broil in a conventional oven—steaks, chops, burgers, chicken and fish. * Place rack on the turntable to allow juices to drain away from food. * Use the GRILL top only setting to brown and crisp just the tops of such foods as casseroles.
What is ROAST?
ROAST combines convection heat with microwave power to provide crisp brown exteriors and superior juiciness for meats and poultry. ROAST is preprogrammed to provide 30 percent microwave energy and 325°F. The temperature can be changed by simply selecting another after touching ROAST twice when programming. See page 12.
* Use ROAST for meats, poultry and casseroles. See page 28 for times. * Place foods on the rack so that the air passes all around the food sealing in the juices. * Place a shallow oven-glass dish or disposable pizza pan below the rack to catch juices if gravy is desired.
Also helps speed cleaning. * NO PREHEATING IS NECESSARY.
Convection Microwave Utensils
A wide variety of utensils may be used in convection and roast cooking. Remember that there is heat when cooking with convection, grill or roast; therefore utensils must be able to withstand the cooking temperature you are using. You may use:
* the Carousel turntable as a baking sheet for cookies * the rack for either convection or roast cooking * traditional metal bakeware * round pizza pans. Choose those that do not have extended handles. * oven-glass baking dishes * plastics if indicated for use with heat; usually states temperature limit on the bottom. CHECK.

ROASTING
The ROAST setting roasts perfectly. Preheating the oven is not necessary for roasting meat and poultry. Place foods on the rack which holds meat out of its juices. Never cover the rack with aluminum foil. You don't need a pan because the turntable will catch the drippings.
HELPFUL TIPS:
* Shield thin or bony areas of roasts or breast, wing tips and legs of poultry to prevent overbrowning. Use small
smooth strips of aluminum foil. * Should you wish to have gravy, place a shallow oven-glass baking dish below the meat on the rack to collect
any juices. When food is done, simply make gravy in the baking dish and cook using HIGH power. * Roast less-tender cuts of beef in heat-resistant and microwave-safe covered casserole or in oven cooking
bag set in baking dish. Covering helps tenderize meat. * Check doneness after minimum time using a meat thermometer. Add additional time, if necessary. * After cooking, cover roasts with "tent" of foil and let stand 5 to 10 minutes before carving.

GRILLING
Your oven grills giving tender, juicy results. Check chart below for approximate grill times. Program oven for the maximum time but check at the minimum time. If done, remove. If not, simply touch Start/Touch On and continue grilling, checking frequently until the desired doneness is achieved.
Preheating is not necessary so put food on rack, program the oven and touch Start/Touch On. It is wise to remove excess fat, slash edges and season, if desired. The rack should NOT BE COVERED BY FOIL. Food may be turned half way through the grilling time.
HELPFUL HINTS
* Spray rack and turntable with nonstick vegetable cooking spray for easier cleanup. * Grill food in advance, if desired, then slice. Individual servings may be reheated as needed by microwaving at
MEDIUM (50%).
* Clean by turning rack over onto the turntable. Place cup of water in the turntable and heat for 2 minutes on
HIGH power. Remove to finish cleaning. Wipe out oven interior.
