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
Check Installation Instructions for proper location for the power supply.
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 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. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUM-STANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.

Notes: 1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.
- 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 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 27 and 28 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. See page 10 for complete instructions.
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.
The fan will automatically start when heat rises from range surface units or burners and when convection, high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used.
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. Ventilation openings 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 850 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
ABOUT FOOD
| FOOD | DO | DON'T |
| Eggs, sausages, fruits & vegetables | · Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent “explosion”. · Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes. | · Cook eggs in shells. · Reheat whole eggs. · Dry nuts or seeds in shells. |
| Popcorn | · 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. | · Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls. · Exceed maximum time on popcorn package. |
| Baby food | · Tr answer 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. | · Heat disposable bottles. · Heat bottles with nipples on. · Heat baby food in original jars. |
| General | · Cut baked goods with filling after heating to release steam and avoid burns. · Stir liquids briskly before, during and after heating to avoid “eruption”. Be careful. · Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers. | · 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 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.
ABOUT SAFETY
- Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.
| TEMP FOOD | |
| 160°F | ... for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food. |
| 165°F | ... for leftover, ready-to-reheat 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 the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
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.
- 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.
- P 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 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.
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 24 for Child Lock feature.

* Number of touches AFTER initial touch to access COMPU DEFROST.
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.
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 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 To Set Power Level on page 11. 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 2-3 cups of casserole or 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 food in a microwave-safe dish.
SENSOR COOKING
Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The Sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for various foods and quantities. It takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.
Using Sensor Settings:
- Room temperature should not exceed 95^ F.
- Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
- Sensor cooking can only be entered within 1 minute after cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.
- During the first part of sensor cooking,


will appear on display. Do not open oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cooking
cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, □ with a appear and sensor cooking will be interrupted. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and select cooking time and power. When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.
- Check food for doneness after cooking with sensor settings. If additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable power and time.
- If the sensor does not detect vapor, ERROR will appear and the oven will shut off.
- At the end of any cycle, open oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR pad. The time of day will reappear on the display.
- Any sensor setting can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 23.
Selecting Foods:
- The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, foods for reheating would be at refrigerator temperature and potatoes for baking would be room temperature.
- More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked by time and variable power.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the Sensor Cooking chart for these foods.
- Casserole lid.
- 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.
- Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excess fat and moisture when cooking bacon and potatoes. Line the turntable when baking potatoes.
- 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.
INSTANT SENSORS
Your oven has Instant Sensor Popcorn and Instant Sensor Reheat. To use any of the Instant Sensors, simply touch the chosen pad. The oven will start automatically. Any sensor setting can be programmed with More/Less Time Adjustment. See page 23.
INSTANT SENSOR REHEAT

This section of the Operation Manual gives you specific cooking instructions and procedures. Please consult your Sharp Carousel Convection Microwave Cookbook for helpful hints for convection and combination cooking.
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.
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^ for 20 minutes.

TO PREHEAT AND COOK WITH CONVECTION
Your oven can be programmed to combine preheating and convection cooking operations. You can preheat at the same temperature as the convection temperature or change it to a higher or lower temperature.
- Suppose you want to preheat until 350°F and then cook 25 minutes at 375°F convection.




When the oven reaches the programmed temperature, it will automatically hold at the preheat temperature for 30 minutes and then the display will change to time of day. Whenever STOP/CLEAR pad is touched during this 30 minute period, PRESS CONVEC or PRESS MIX will be displayed and cooking mode and time can be entered.
NOTE:
To preheat and cook with the same temperature, enter same temperature in steps 2 and 3.
TO BROIL
In the BROIL setting, preheating is automatic. Just enter the actual broiling time and wait for preheat to be over before adding food. (Preset 450°F). Oven temperature cannot be changed.
- Suppose you want to broil a ham steak for 15 minutes.

TO SLOW COOK
Slow Cook is a preset at 300°F. Slow Cook is programmed for 4 hours. Oven temperature can be changed to temperature below 300°F. Simply touch the SLOW COOK pad and touch the desired numbered pad with temperature below 300°F.
PROCEDURE DISPLAY


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 temperature 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 and START/TOUCH ON. The mix temperature will change automatically.
TO COOK WITH AUTOMATIC MIX
- Suppose you want to bake a cake at low mix for 20 minutes.
PROCEDURE DISPLAY


At the end of the baking time, 1 long tone will sound and END will be displayed.
TO PREHEAT AND COOK WITH AUTOMATIC MIX
Your oven can be programmed to combine preheating and Automatic Mix cooking operations. You can preheat at the same temperature as the preset combination temperature or change it to a different temperature.
- Suppose you want to preheat until 350°F and then cook 25 minutes on 325°F Low Mix bake.

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 to inactivate the control panel 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. Avoid the use of excess water. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR.
INTERIOR- AFTER MICROWAVE COOKING
The oven walls, ceiling and floor are stainless steel. Cleaning after microwave cooking 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.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the oven cavity. It 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
The ceramic turntable and turntable support can be removed for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. They are also dishwasher-safe using top rack.

The high and low baking racks can be removed for easy cleaning and stored away from the microwave oven when racks are not needed. After each use, wash them in mild, sudsy water. For any stubborn stains, use a mild kitchen cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. They are dishwasher-proof.

Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.
- Pull the tab toward the front of the oven, down slightly and remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.
- Soak the filters in a sink or dish pan filled with hot water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or other alkali; they will react with the filter material and darken it.
- Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embedded dirt.
- Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
- Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.

FAN
The fan will automatically start when heat rises from range surface units or burners and when convection, high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used. This protects the microwave oven from excessive temperature rise. The fan will stay on until the temperature decreases. It cannot be turned off manually during this time.
For other uses, select either high or low speed.
PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE:
- DO NOT leave range unattended while using high temperatures. Automatic fan may start and provide excessive air to the surface units. This may cause spattering or boilover.
- Avoid burning food.
- Keep grease filters clean.
LIGHT
- To replace light bulbs, first disconnect power to the oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging.
- To release cover remove the screw on the light cover. (See illustration.)
- Replace bulbs only with equivalent watt bulbs available from a Sharp Authorized Servicer or parts distributor. Bulbs are also available at most hardware stores or lighting centers. DO NOT USE A BULB LARGER THAN 30 WATTS.
- Close light cover and secure with screw removed in step 2.
CAUTION: Light cover may become very hot. Do not touch glass when light is on. Do not use light for long time use such as a night light.

CHARCOAL FILTER
Charcoal Filter, Sharp Part Number RK-220 is used for No-vented, recirculated installation. The filter should be changed every 6 to 12 months depending on use.
- Disconnect power to the oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging.
- Remove 3 screws that secure louver.
- Remove louver by inserting flat edge screwdriver over each tab depressing the tab down and moving louver away from unit.
- Pull the louver away from the oven.
- Slide Charcoal Filter into position on support tabs.
- Push louver back into place and gently snap tabs into place by hand (engaging both the bottom and top tabs) and replace the 3 screws to secure louver.
OVEN LIGHT
Remove the louver per instructions 1-4 above and charcoal filter, if used.
- Slide the light cover forward and lift up.
- Remove old light bulb and replace only with an equivalent watt bulb available from a Sharp Authorized Servicer or parts distributor. Bulbs are also available at most hardware stores or lighting centers. DO NOT USE A BULB LARGER THAN 30 WATTS.
- Replace the oven light cover and charcoal filter, if used; push louver back in place (engaging both the bottom and top tabs) and replace the louver mounting screws.
