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 Permanent and Correct Installation The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more 3-Prong Plug protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving 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 qualied electrician install a correct wall receptacle. A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions. 3-Prong Receptacle Ground A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in Receptacle Box 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 Ground has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug Receptacle Box on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.

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 22 and 23 for ordering the Sharp Carousel Microwave Cookbook. 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 inuence 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 1100 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.

wood, straw, wicker

How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:
Small at 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 coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.

DO NOT USE

metal pans and bakeware dishes with metallic trim non-heat-resistant glass non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs) recycled paper products brown paper bags food storage bags metal twist-ties
ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories
available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwavesafe 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 accessories are used.
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. 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. Dont 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 19 for Child Lock feature.

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 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 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.

NOTE: Check foods when oven signals. After nal 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 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 previously cooked, by using 30% Power Level. See page 11. Estimate defrosting time and touch POWER LEVEL pad 8 times for 30% when you select the power level. For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound/450 g 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 at 30% 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.

The outlet should NOT be located in the shaded area indicated in the illustration below unless there is a depth of more than 21" from the front to the back, then the outlet may be located at any location on the rear wall. The oor of the opening should be constructed of plywood strong enough to support the weight of the oven (about 100 pounds). The oor should be level for proper operation of the microwave. Be sure to check the local building code as it may require that the opening be enclosed with sides, ceiling and rear partition. The proper functioning of the microwave does not require the enclosure.
