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 the 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 the microwave oven 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.

Note:

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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

About Your Oven

This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.

The Sharp Carousel 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.

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.

After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may continue to operate as long as 5 minutes, depending on the oven temperature.

Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens have a tendency to become hot during convection, automatic mix and broil cooking.

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

Your oven is rated 900 watts using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food at the minimum time and add time accordingly.

About Food

5

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.

6

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.

About Microwave Cooking

*Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.

*Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Foods 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 or turkey breasts must be turned over at least once.

*Rearrange foods like 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.

7

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 25 for Safety Lock feature.

About Safety

*Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture???s recommended temperatures:

???160?? F. for fresh pork, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

???165?? F. for leftover, ready-to-heat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out ???fresh??? food.

???170?? F. white meat of poultry.

???180?? F. dark meat of poultry.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in food during cooking, unless using a microwave thermometer when cooking with only microwave power.

*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 wave guide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires.

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

*Use potholders and be careful when using convection, mix or broil cooking as cabinet, interior and door may be too hot to touch.

*Use care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.

CONVECTION AND AUTOMATIC

MIX COOKING

This section of the Operation Manual gives you spe- cific cooking instructions and procedures. Please consult your Sharp Carousel Convection Microwave Cookbook for helpful hints for convection and combi- nation cooking.

Page numbers followed by the letter c indicate the convection/mix section of the book.

The oven should not be used without the turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so that it can- not rotate. You may remove the turntable when pre- heating the oven and when preparing food to be cooked directly on the turntable.

Caution: The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable, turntable support, racks and dishes will be- come hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick oven gloves when removing the food or turn- table from the oven.

Convection Cooking

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.

To Cook with Convection

* Suppose you want to cook at 350?? F. for 20 minutes:

NOTE: If you wish to know the programmed oven temperature, simply touch the CONVEC pad. As long as your finger is touching the CONVEC pad, the programmed oven temperature will be displayed.

To Preheat and Cook with Con- vection

Your oven can be programmed to combine preheat- ing and convection cooking operations. You can pre- heat to the same temperature as the convection tem- perature or change to a higher or lower temperature.

*Suppose you want to preheat to 350?? F, and then cook 25 minutes at 375?? F. convection:

Procedure

When the oven reaches the programmed temperature, a signal will sound 4 times*. The oven will stop, and directions will be displayed. Follow the indicated message.

7.Open the door. Place food in the oven. Close the door.

*If the oven door is not opened, the oven will automatically hold at the preheat temperature for 30 minutes. After this time has elapsed, an audible signal will sound, and the oven will turn off.

NOTE: 1. To program only preheat, touch the START pad after step 2. Preheating will start. When the oven reaches the programmed temperature, follow the indicated message.

2.To preheat and cook with the same temperature, enter same temperature in steps 2 and 4.

11

Automatic Mix Cooking

This oven has two pre-programmed settings that make it easy to cook with both convection heat and microwave automatically

With the exception of those foods that cook best by convection heating alone, most foods are well suited to mix cooking using either LOW MIX/BAKE or HIGH MIX/ROAST.

The marriage of these two cooking methods produces juicy meats, moist and tender cakes and fine textured breads, all with just the right amount of browning and crispness.

The temperatures can be changed; however, the microwave power cannot.

The oven temperature can be changed from 100?? F. to 450?? F. To change the temperature, first touch HIGH MIX or LOW MIX, then touch the same pad again. When the display says SELECT TEMP, touch desired temperature pad. Ex:HIGH MIX, HIGH MIX pad, 7 . The mix temperature will change to 375?? F automati- cally.

Helpful Hints for Convection and Automatic Mix Cooking

Your Sharp Convection Microwave Oven can cook any food perfectly because of the number of ways it can cook: microwave only, automatic mix, convection only or broil. The cookbook that comes with your oven has excellent instructions, guidelines, hints, charts and recipes to help you get the best use of your oven. Consult it often until you are familiar with it. This Operation Manual tells you how to program the oven.

The oven cannot be used without the turntable in place. Never restrict the movement of the turntable.

Convection Cooking:

1.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.

2.Do not cover turntable, low rack or high 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.Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled appearance to steaks, hot dogs etc.

Automatic Mix Cooking:

1.Meats are best when roasted directly on the low rack. A dish can be placed below the meat if gravy is to be made from the drippings.

2.Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and tenderized using oven cooking bags.

3.When baking, check for doneness after time has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand in oven a few minutes to complete cooking.

NOTE:

During mix baking 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 (Pyrex?? pie plate, glass pizza dish or dinner plate) between the pan and the turntable or rack. If arcing occurs with other metal baking utensils, discontinue their use for mix cooking.

13

Preheating is automatic when the BROIL setting is used. Only actual cooking time is entered; the oven signals when it is preheated to 450?? F. Oven temperature cannot be changed. Use BROIL setting for steaks, chops, chicken pieces and many other foods. See Convection Broiling Chart in cookbook.

* Suppose you want to broil a steak for 15 mintues:

Procedure

BROIL

2. Enter cooking time.

When the oven reaches the programmed temperature, a signal will sound 4 times*.

4.Open the door. Place food in oven. Close the door.

*If the oven door is not opened, the oven will automatically hold at the preheat temperature for 30 minutes. After this time has elapsed, an audible signal will sound and the oven will turn off.

NOTE: 1. Preheating for broil may take from 7 to 10 minutes depending on temperature of room and available power.

2.Although time is usually set for the maximum broiling time, always check food at the minimum time recommended in the chart of cookbook. This will eliminate the need to completely reprogram the oven if additional cooking time is needed. Simply close the oven door and touch START to continue.

3.Should you need more broiling time, reprogram within 1 minute of the end to eliminate preheating.

Caution: The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable, turntable support, racks and dishes will be- come hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick oven gloves when removing the food or turn- table from the oven.

Slow Cook is preset at 300?? F for 4 hours. The temperature can be changed to below 300?? F. The cooking time cannot be changed. This feature can be used for foods such as baked beans or marinated chuck steak.

*Suppose you want to change oven temperature from 300?? F to 275?? F:

NOTE: If you do not change the temperature, omit steps 2 and 3.

SPECIAL FEATURES

COMPU DEFROST

CompuDefrost automatically defrosts foods shown in the chart below.

* Suppose you want to defrost a 2.0 pound steak:

The oven will stop and directions will be displayed.

Follow the indicated message.

COMPU DEFROST CHART

5.After the 1st stage, open the door. Turn steak over and shield any warm portions. Close the door.

6.After the 2nd stage, open the door. Shield any warm portions. Close the door.

7.After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand as indicated in chart below.

NOTE:

1.If you attempt to enter more or less than the allowed amount as indicated in chart below, an error message will appear in the display.

2.CompuDefrost can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. Touch the POWER LEVEL pad once or twice after selecting the amount. See page 24.

3.To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights allowed on COMPU DEFROST CHART, use time and 30% power. See Manual Defrost on page 16.

NOTE: Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.

Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

15

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the COMPU DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limitsinthe???Amount???columnontheCOMPUDEFROST 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 10. 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.

SENSOR COOKING

Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from 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 settings.

The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and select cooking time and variable power.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

5.Check food for temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable power and time.

6.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 using sensor reheat,ERROR will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.

7.Any Sensor Cooking mode can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.

8.Each food has a cooking hint. Touch CUSTOM HELP when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

Selecting Foods:

1.The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, food for dinner plate reheat would be at refrigerator temperature and popcorn at room temperature.

2.Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be reheated by time and variable power.

Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the 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.

CLEANING AND CARE

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 harsh abrasives.

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.

Interior - after microwave cooking.

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.

Interior - after convection, mix or broil 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. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it--not a soap filled steel pad- -for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces.

Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces.

Rinse thoroughly and polish dry.

After cleaning the interior thoroughly, residual grease may be removed from the interior ducts and heater by simply operating the oven on 450?? F. for 20 minutes without food. Ventilate the room if necessary.

Waveguide Cover

Carefully wash any food particles from the waveguide cover located on the ceiling in the oven cavity.

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/Racks

The turntable, turntable support and racks 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 top rack of dishwasher for turntable support.

Foods with high acidity, such as tomatoes or lemons, will cause the porcelain enamel turntable to discolor. Do not cook highly acidic foods directly on the turntable; if spills occur, wipe up immediately.

The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or spills should not be allowed to stand in this area.

26

SERVICE CALL CHECK

Please check the following before calling for service:

1.Place one cup of water in a glass measuring cup in the oven and close the door securely. Operate the oven for two minutes at HIGH 100%.

If ???NO??? is the answer to any of the above questions, please check electrical outlet, fuse and/or circuit breaker.

If both are functioning properly, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER. A microwave oven should never be serviced by a ???do-it-yourself??? repair person.
