Unpacking and Examining Your Oven  
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 SHARPAUTHORIZED  
SERVICER.  
1. Remove all packing materials from inside the  
oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE  
WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the  
top cavity wall. Read enclosures and SAVE the  
Operation Manual.  
Choosing a Location for Your Oven  
You will use the oven frequently so plan its loca-  
tion 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 (50 mm) on the sides, top  
and at the rear of the oven for air circulation. 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 electronics or the me-  
chanical parts of the oven.  
2. Remove the feature  
Safety door latches  
sticker, if there is one,  
from the outside of the  
door.  
Check the oven for any  
damage, such as mis-  
aligned or bent door,  
damaged door seals and  
Door seals and  
sealing surfaces

sealing surfaces, broken  
Hinges  
or loose door hinges and  
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 electri-  
cal 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 serv-  
ing only this appliance 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 with a grounded  
receptacle box 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.  
Notes:1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical in-  
structions, 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 carefully and  
always save it for reference.  
When using the oven for Express Defrost, 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 cook-  
ing or reheating.  
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check  
it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints  
and recipes. See pages 15 and 16 for ordering the Cook  
Information, the SHARP CAROUSEL MICROWAVE  
COOKBOOK.  
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 con-  
densation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back  
must not be blocked.  
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 clock-  
wise and counterclockwise.  
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be  
used to dry clothes or newspapers.  
ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb  
Your oven is rated 600 watts by using the IEC Test Pro-  
cedure. In using recipes or package directions, check  
food at the minimum time and add time accordingly.

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS  
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many  
The following coverings are ideal:  
pieces already in your kitchen can be used success-  
fully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the uten-  
sil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.  
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for re-  
heating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.  
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and  
reheating.  
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking  
and reheating:  
• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for micro-  
wave use can be used for cooking and reheat-  
ing. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food.  
Vent so steam can escape.  
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as  
Corningware®.  
• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)  
• microwave-safe plastics  
• paper plates  
• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice  
because heat is kept near the food to hasten  
cooking.  
• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and  
porcelain  
• 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.  
• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended  
preheating time. Follow manufacturer's  
directions.)  
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave  
oven:  
These items can be used for short time reheat-  
ing of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:  
• 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.  
• wood, straw, wicker  
DO NOT USE  
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any  
surface of the oven.  
• metal pans and bakeware  
• dishes with metallic trim  
• non-heat-resistant glass  
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)  
• recycled paper products  
• brown paper bags  
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings,  
check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe  
suggestions.  
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accesso-  
ries available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before  
you purchase so that they meet your needs. A micro-  
wave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining  
correct doneness and assure you that foods have  
been cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp is not  
responsible for any damage to the oven when acces-  
sories are used.  
• food storage bags  
• metal twist-ties  
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.  
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.  
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.  
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;  
if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.  
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one  
cooking skill he/she can cook everything.  
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing  
on the oven door.  
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not  
a toy.

through cooking both from top to bottom and from  
the center of the dish to the outside.  
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount  
of time indicated and add more as needed. Food  
severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.  
Add standing time. Remove food from oven and  
stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows  
the food to finish cooking without overcooking.  
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.  
Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that  
cooking temperatures have been reached.  
Doneness signs include:  
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.  
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.  
- Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.  
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.  
Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice  
during cooking, if possible.  
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.  
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.  
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.

SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY  
PART OF THE OVEN.  
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.  
Waveguide Cover  
The waveguide cover is made from mica so requires  
special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to as-  
sure 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.  
Door  
Wipe on both sides with a soft, damp cloth to remove  
any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to main-  
tain 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.  
Odor Removal  
Touch Control Panel  
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.Allowtosetinovenuntilcool. Wipeinteriorwitha  
soft cloth.  
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control  
panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the  
oven door and 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 the STOP/CLEAR pad.  
Turntable/Turntable Support  
Interior  
The turntable and turntable support can be removed  
for easy cleaning. Wash them in mild, sudsy water; for  
stubborn stains use a mild cleanser and a non-abra-  
sive scouring sponge. They are also dishwasher-safe.  
The turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess wa-  
ter or spills should be wiped up immediately.  
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to  
the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and  
setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior sur-  
faces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. DO NOT  
USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR  
SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use baking soda  
or a mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. NEVER
