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. – 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 qualied electrician install a correct wall receptacle. A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used tempo- rarily 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 qualied 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 micro- wave 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. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This operation manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference. NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven. The turn- table will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise. ALWAYS have food in the microwave 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 inu- ence 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 microwave output is rated 900 watts using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package direc- tions, check food at the minimum time and add time accordingly.

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 at 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 right to left.

• Add standing time. Remove food from microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to nish 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 akes easily with a fork. ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agricultureʼs recommended temperatures. 145˚F - Fish. 160˚F - Pork, ground beef/veal/lamb, egg dishes 165˚F - For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out “fresh” food. Whole, pieces and ground turkey/chicken/duck. 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 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.

• 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 microwave oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

• NEVER use the microwave oven for storing cook- books 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 res. See page 31.

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 microwave oven comfortably. At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

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. Donʼt 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 29 for Safety Lock feature. ABOUT FOODS

Eggs, sau- sages, 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.

• Dry nuts or seeds in shells. Popcorn • Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave.

• 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 • Transfer 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 lling after heating to release steam and avoid burns.

• Stir liquids briskly before and after heating to avoid “eruption”.

• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers.

• Heat or cook in closed glass jars or airtight containers.

• Heat can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed.

• Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers. E11

Let stand, covered, 10–20 minutes. 3 Chicken pieces .5 - 3.0 lb. After each stage of defrost cycle, if there are warm or thawed portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand, covered, 10–20 minutes. MANUAL DEFROST If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Auto Defrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the AMOUNT column on the Auto Defrost Chart, you need to defrost manually. You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by setting the Power Level to 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under To Set Power Level on page 15. Estimate the defrosting time and press 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. E17 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 levels for various foods and quantities. USING SENSOR SETTINGS: 1 After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using any Sensor setting. 2 Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel. 3 Reheat and Popcorn can only be entered within 1 minute after cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad. 4 During the rst part of sensor cooking, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cooking cycle. 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 addi- tional 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 30. 8 Each food has a cooking hint. Touch HELP/ SETTINGS when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.

MICROWAVE OVEN COOKING

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 charts for these foods.

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. E18

E26 This section gives you specic 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. CAUTION The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable, turntable support, racks and dishes will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick oven gloves when removing the food or turntable from the oven. CONVECTION COOKING During convection heating, hot air is circulated through- out 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

• For example, to cook at 350˚F for 20 minutes: 1 Touch the CONVECT pad. 2 Select the temperature by touching the number pad

3 Enter the cooking time by touching the number pads 4 Touch the START/TOUCH ON pad. Note: If you wish to know the programmed oven temperature, simply touch the CONVECT pad. As long as your nger is touching the CONVECT pad, the programmed oven temperature will be displayed.

TO PREHEAT AND COOK WITH CONVECTION

Your oven can be programmed to combine preheating and convection cooking operations. You can preheat to the same temperature as the convection temperature or change to a higher or lower temperature.

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

OVEN TEMPERATUREMICROWAVE POWER

High Mix 300˚F 30% Low Mix 350˚F 10% 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 or High Mix. The marriage of these two cooking methods produces juicy meats, moist and tender cakes and ne textured breads, all with just the right amount of browning and crispness. The temperatures can be changed; however, the micro- wave power cannot. The oven temperature can be changed from 100˚F to 450˚F. To change the temperature, rst touch HIGH MIX or LOW MIX then touch the same pad again. When the display says SELECT TEMP , touch the desired temperature pad. Ex: HIGH MIX, High mix pad, 7. The mix temperature will change to 375˚F automatically.

Note: To program only preheat, touch the START/ TOUCH ON pad after step 2. Preheating will start. When the oven reaches the programmed temperature, follow the indicated message. E28

MIX COOKING Your 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 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 bak- ing in a preheated oven, it is easier to remove the turntable for preheat. Place the high rack on turntable along with food. When preheat is over, open the oven door and quickly place the turntable, high rack and food to be baked inside. 2 Do not cover the turntable, low rack or high rack with aluminum foil. It interferes with air ow 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 appear- ance 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 tender- ized 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. E29 HELP/SETTINGS HELP/SETTINGS provides 5 features which make using your microwave oven easy because specific instructions are provided in the interactive display.

EXTERIOR The outside surface is painted. 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.

Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the microwave 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 the door and touch the STOP/CLEAR pad. WAVEGUIDE COVER The waveguide cover is made from mica so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave 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 re. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

INTERIOR - AFTER MICROWAVE

COOKING Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and set- ting 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 SCOUR-

ING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER SPRAY

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 lled 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. ODOR REMOVAL Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the micro- wave 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.

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. Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the microwave oven during cleaning. E32
