INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
The Sharp High Speed Convection Microwave Cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it frequently for cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
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
ABOUT FOOD
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.
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. In using microwave-only 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

and shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test
before feeding.
• 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
• 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.
• Heat disposable bottles.

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 HIGH 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, cookbook 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 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.
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 CHILDREN
Children below the age of 7 should use the high speed
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 high speed oven is not
a toy. See page 29 for Child Lock feature.
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.
• 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 SPEED COOKING AND CONVECTION COOKING
• 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 removed. 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.
TEMPFOOD
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 using a microwave thermometer when cooking
with only microwave power.
... 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.
• Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that cooks
food.
• Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for
many items. Choose pans that do not have extended
handles.
• Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled appearance to steaks and hot dogs.
• 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.
• Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch
away from walls, ceiling and door.

MANUAL COOKING
2. ROAST
Use the ROAST setting for poultry, meat, fish or other
foods you would normally roast that are not included in
Basic Cook on pages 16-18. ROAST is a preprogrammed setting that roasts with high speed air circulation, 325°F. and a boost of microwave power. The cooking time is reduced 33% to 50% compared with typical
ovens. No preheat is necessary. Use the low rack over
the splash guard so all sides are cooked with a minimum of moisture loss. No pan put on low rack.
• Suppose you want to roast a 3 pound beef rib roast
for 20 minutes.
PROCEDURE
Touch ROAST.
1
Enter cooking time.
2
Touch START.

NOTE:
1. The temperature can be changed, however the microwave power cannot.
To change the temperature, touch ROAST twice at
step 1. When the display shows SELECT COOK-ING TEMP, touch desired temperature pad.
2. When you roast a food for the first time, enter 1/2
the usual roasting time and check doneness carefully during the cooking. If extra time is needed, add
and continue to check often until the desired
doneness has been achieved.
3. When using ROAST, 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.
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 use for roast cooking.
3. BAKE
Use the BAKE setting for cakes, breads and many other
foods you would normally bake that take longer than
20 minutes in a conventional oven and are not included
in Basic Cook on pages 16-18. BAKE is a preprogrammed setting that makes it easy to bake with high
speed air circulation at 325°F.
The baking time is 25% to 33% less than in a conventional oven. No preheat is necessary. Use the low rack.
• Suppose you want to bake a cake for 25 minutes.
PROCEDURE
Touch BAKE.
1
Enter cooking time.
2
Touch START.

NOTE:
1. The temperature can be changed. To change the
temperature, touch BAKE twice at step 1. When the
display shows SELECT COOKING TEMP, touch
desired temperature pad. When adapting recipes or
package directions, reduce the suggested baking
temperature by 25 F.
2. When you bake for the first time, enter 2/3s of the
usual baking time and check carefully throughout the
baking. If extra time is needed, add and continue to
check often until the desired doneness has been
achieved.

AUTOMATIC COOKING
MANUAL DEFROST
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 Level. See page
14. Estimate defrosting time and touch POWER LEVEL
8 times for 30% when you select the power level.
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

CLEANING AND CARE
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or
leave the door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.
Exterior
The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. 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. Avoid the use of spray and other
harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull
the door surface.
Stainless Steel Trim
The exterior should be wiped often with a damp
cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth
and then carefully used on the stainless exterior
rather than sprayed directly on to it. Follow package directions carefully.
Touch 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
Cleaning is easy because no 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
mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. Do not
use any chemical oven cleaners.
You may remove any lingering interior odor by using the Refresh Cycle on page 30.
- after microwave cooking.
Interior
convection cooking.
Spatters may occur because of moisture and
grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy
water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or
if there is long time/high temperature cooking. Do
not use any chemical oven cleaners.
After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease
may be removed from the interior ducts and heaters by simply operating the oven with Refresh Cycle
on page 30. Ventilate the room if necessary.
- after manual/automatic speed or
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.
Accessories
The turntable, turntable support, racks and splash
guard can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash
them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use
a mild cleanser and a non-abrasive scouring
sponge. They are also dishwasher-proof. Use
upper rack of dishwasher for turntable support.
Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, may cause the porcelain enamel turntable
and splash guard to discolor. Do not cook highly
acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills occur, wipe up immediately.
SPECIAL NOTE for TURNTABLE
SUPPORT
After cooking, always clean the turntable support,
especially around the rollers. These must be free
from food splashes and grease. Built-up splashes
or grease may overheat and cause arcing, begin
to smoke or catch fire.
