I N F O r m AT I O N Y O u N E E D T O K N O W
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 28 and 29 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 11 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.
Eggs, sausages,
fruits &
vegetables
Popcorn
Baby food
General
ABOUT FOOD
• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to
prevent “explosion”.
• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,
squash, hot dogs and sausages so
that steam escapes.
• 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.
• 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.
• Cut baked goods with filling 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.
• Cook eggs in shells.
• Reheat whole eggs.
• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or
glass bowls.
• Exceed maximum time on popcorn
package.
• Heat disposable bottles.
• Heat bottles with nipples on.
• Heat baby food in original jars.
• 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.
DO DON’T FOOD

6
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.
INFOrmATION YOu NEED TO KNOW
•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.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
•Checkfoods toseethattheyarecookedtothe United
States Department of Agriculture’s recommended
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.
•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.
•Staynearthe ovenwhile it’s inuse andcheckcooking
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.
•Keepwaveguidecoverclean.Foodresiduecancause
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 25 for Child Lock feature.
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.

INFOrmATION YOu NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your
new microwave convection oven. The chart below will help you decide what utensils and coverings should be used
in each mode.
DISH CHECK. If 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. If the dish becomes very hot, DO NOT use it for microwaving.
aCCESSOriES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you
purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-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 accessories are used.

MANUAL M I C ROW A V E O P ERATION
TURNTABLE ON/OFF
For most cooking, the turntable should be on; however
the turntable can be turned off so that it does not rotate
when extra large dishes, such as the popular 13" x 9"
x 2" glass utility casserole, are used. The casserole
should be placed on the turntable so that it is level.
NOTE:
The door can be opened for checking food and the
turntable will stay in the off position. After checking,
close door and touch START/TOUCH ON.
The turntable will stay off for one minute after door is
opened when time-of-day appears in the display. It
is possible to reprogram the oven during that minute
without touching the TURNTABLE ON/OFF pad. The
display always indicates whether the turntable is off
or on.
THE TURNTABLE SHOULD ALWAYS BE ON WHEN
USING THE SPECIAL FEATURES. On/Off function
can be used with manual cooking modes and Sensor
Reheat. Turntable off condition will automatically
change to on condition when you select auto cooking
except Sensor Reheat and CompuBake.
When cooking large quantities of food which cannot be
stirred, it is best to use a lower power level such as 40
or 50%. You may speed cooking of large amounts by
programming 5 to 10 minutes on 100% power (HIGH)
followed by the desired time on lower power. See page
24 for how to program multiple sequences. You may
wish to reverse a large casserole once during cooking;
simply open door, reposition casserole, close door and
touch START/TOUCH ON.

Using Sensor Settings:
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
12. 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.
1. Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F.
2. 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.
3. Sensor cooking can only be entered within 1 minute
after cooking, opening and closing the door or
touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.
4. During the first part of sensor cooking,
, ,
, ,

touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cooking
cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted.

If this occurs, will 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.
5. Check food for doneness after cooking with sensor
settings. If additional time is needed, continue to
cook with variable power and time.
6. If the sensor does not detect vapor, will
appear and the oven will shut off.
7. At the end of any cycle, open oven door or touch
STOP/CLEAR pad. The time of day will reappear
on the display.
8. Any sensor setting can be programmed with More
or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.
Selecting Foods:
1. 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.
2. 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.
1. 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. Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excess
fat and moisture when cooking bacon and potatoes.
Line the turntable when baking potatoes.
4. 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.
