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
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 the oven frequently so plan its location for ease of use. It's wise, if possible, to have counter space on at least one side of the oven. Allow at least 2 inches on the sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air circula- tion. 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 elec- tronics or the mechanical parts of the oven.
G R O U N D I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S
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
A
A short
Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
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 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.

ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it care- fully and always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, tech- niques, hints and recipes. See pages 19 and 20 for ordering the Ultimate Accessory, the SHARP
CAROUSEL MICROWAVE COOKBOOK.
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and sup- port 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 cook- ing. 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.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 800 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure.

I N F O R M A T I O N Y O U N E E D T O K N O W
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used suc- cessfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:
???glass ceramic (Pyroceram??), such as Corningware??.
???
???
???paper plates
???
???browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturer's direc- tions.)
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:
??? wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
???metal pans and bakeware
???dishes with metallic trim
???
???
???recycled paper products
???brown paper bags
???food storage bags
???metal
Should 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. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.
The following coverings are ideal:
???Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking ba- con.
???Wax paper can be used for cooking and re- heating.
???Plastic wrap that is specially marked for mi- crowave use can be used for cooking and re- heating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
???Lids that are
???Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:
???Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.
???Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the oven.
Should you have questions about utensils or cov- erings, check a good microwave cookbook or fol- low recipe suggestions.
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave acces- sories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the micro- wave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the super- vising person should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfort- ably; 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 be- cause 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 15 for Child Lock feature.

I N F O R M A T I O N Y O U N E E D T O K N O W
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
???Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas to- wards 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 overcook- ing before dense, thick areas are cooked thor- oughly.
???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 ham- burgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
ABOUT SAFETY
???Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recom- mended temperatures.
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.
???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 al- lows the food to finish cooking without overcook- ing.
???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.
???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 pre- serve 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.

MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the ???Amount??? column on the DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or pre- viously cooked, by using 30% power level. See page 9. Estimate defrosting time and press POWER LEVEL pad 8 times 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
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 defrost- ing time, program the oven in 1 minute increments at 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, de- frost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a
