UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Choosing a Location for Your Oven
You will use your oven frequently so plan its lo-
cation for ease of use. The oven must be placed
on a countertop which is a minimum of 36 inches
from the floor. Allow at least 2 inches on the sides,
top and at the rear of the oven for air circulation.
Be sure to position oven so that the rear cannot
be touched inadvertently.
Your oven can be built into a cabinet or wall by
itself or above a specific electric wall oven using
Sharp's Built-in Kit listed below. It cannot be built
in above conventional gas or electric ranges or
any other wall ovens.
Note for Sharp's Built-in kits:
Select the Built-in kit RK-90S27 or RK-90S30
depending on the desired finished width. The RK-
90S27 is for a 27 inch and the RK-90S30 is for a
30 inch finished width.
See Sketch 1 for proper location when building in
above the specified wall ovens. Carefully follow
both the wall oven installation instructions and
Sharp's Built-in Kit instructions. Be sure that the
clearance of the floor between the wall oven and
the high speed oven is minimum of 2 inches.
Ordering the Built-in Kit.
If your dealer does not stock the kit, it can be or-
dered directly from the Sharp Accessories and
Supplies Center. Have your credit card number
available and call toll-free: 1-800-642-2122 for
ordering the kit to be sent to your address. The kit
includes ducts and finish trim strips and easy-to-
follow instructions for installation as well as the

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 240 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. protected electrical supply. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. The 240 volt circuit is
absolutely necessary for optimum cooking performance.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is
properly installed and grounded.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Receptacle Box Cover
3 Pronged Plug
(6-15P)
3 Pronged Receptacle
(6-15R)
Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade ground-
ing plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the high speed oven. The marked rating of
the extension cord should be AC 240 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 instructions, 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 high speed oven to your radio or TV, check that the high
speed 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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
The Sharp High Speed Convection Microwave Cook-
book is a valuable asset. Check it frequently for cook-
ing principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
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.
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. 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 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.
After using, the cooling fan may come on to cool the
oven cavity. The display will show NOW COOLING,
and you will hear the sound of the fan.
Unlike microwave-only ovens, your oven may become
hot during cooking. Be cautious.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
The microwave capability of your oven is rated 1000
watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using micro-
wave-only recipes or package directions, check food a
minute or two before the minimum time and add time
accordingly.

proof glass pie plate on top of the turn-
table when popping bagged micro-
wave popcorn.
•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 heating and
allow to stand at least for 20 seconds
after heating before stirring or drink-
ing 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 baby food in original jars.

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new High
Speed Convection Microwave Oven. The chart below will help you decide what utensils and coverings should be used in
each mode.
Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed
smoothly on food can be used to shield areas
from cooking or defrosting too quickly. Keep foil
at least 1 inch from walls of oven.
Do not exceed recommended preheating
time. Follow manufacturer's directions.
Excellent

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 cook-
book 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 ham-
burgers. 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 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.
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 high speed oven is not
a toy. See page 29 for Child Lock feature.
ABOUT CHILDREN
Children below the age of 7 should use the high speed
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.
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.
AUTOMATIC COOKING Use the recommended container in the cooking chart in this operation manual, cookbook and
display.
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 when using microwave-only cooking.
Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.
CAUTION When using ROAST or during automatic cooking, 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, such as a Pyrex pie plate or oven-glass plate, between the pan and the
turntable or rack. If arcing continues to occur, discontinue using that pan.

TINSEA986WRRZ-D31 SEC R90GC
•Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
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 using a microwave thermometer when cooking
with only microwave power.
•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.
•Keep aluminum foil used for shielding at least 1 inch
away from walls, ceiling and door.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT SPEED COOKING AND CONVECTION COOKING
•The oven cabinet, cavity, door, accessories and
dishes will become hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use
thick oven gloves when removing the food or turn-
table from the oven.
•When preheating, the turntable can be left in or re-
moved. When using the high rack for 2 shelf baking
in a preheated oven, it is easier to remove the turn-
table for preheat. Place high rack on turntable along
with foods. When preheat is over, open oven door
and quickly place turntable, high rack and foods to
be baked inside.
•Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack with
aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow that cooks
food.
•Round pizza pans are excellent cooking utensils for
many items. Choose pans that do not have extended
handles.
•Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled ap-
pearance to steaks and hot dogs.

SPEED COOKING
Your oven has 3 special speed cooking modes.
Caution:
The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable, turntable sup-
port, rack and dishes will become hot. To PREVENT
BURNS, use thick oven gloves when removing the food
or turntable.
1.GRILL
Use the GRILL setting for steaks, chops, chicken pieces
and many other foods you would normally grill that are
not included in Basic Cook on pages 16-18. GRILL is a
preprogrammed setting that cooks fast with a high tem-
perature and maximum speed hot air circulation. Only
actual cooking time is entered; the oven signals when
it is preheated to 450°F. The oven temperature cannot
changed.
• Suppose you want to grill a steak for 15 minutes.
* If the oven door is not opened, the oven will auto-
matically hold at the preheat temperature for 30 min-
utes. After this time has elapsed, an audible signal
will sound and the oven will turn off.
NOTE:
1. You can grill foods without preheat.To program grill with-
out preheat, touch GRILL twice at step 1.
2. Foods cook quickly using GRILL. Check often to en-
sure desired results.
3. Either the high or low rack may be used. The high
rack grills food the fastest. Place the splash guard on
the turntable with either of the racks over it.

PROCEDURE
1
Touch ROAST.
3
Touch START.
2
Enter cooking time.
NOTE:
1. The temperature can be changed, however the mi-
crowave power cannot.
To change the temperature, touch ROAST twice at
step 1. When the display shows SELECT COOK-
ING TEMP, touch desired temperature pad.
2. When you roast a food for the first time, enter 1/2
the usual roasting time and check doneness care-
fully during the cooking. If extra time is needed, add
and continue to check often until the desired
doneness has been achieved.
3. When using ROAST, 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, such as
a Pyrex pie plate or oven-glass plate, between the
pan and the turntable or rack. If arcing continues to
occur, discontinue use for roast cooking.
2. ROAST
Use the ROAST setting for poultry, meat, fish or other
foods you would normally roast that are not included in
Basic Cook on pages 16-18. ROAST is a prepro-
grammed setting that roasts with high speed air circula-
tion, 325°F. and a boost of microwave power. The cook-
ing time is reduced 33% to 50% compared with typical
ovens. No preheat is necessary. Use the low rack over
the splash guard so all sides are cooked with a mini-
mum of moisture loss. No pan put on low rack.
•Suppose you want to roast a 3 pound beef rib roast
for 20 minutes.
3. BAKE
Use the BAKE setting for cakes, breads and many other
foods you would normally bake that take longer than
20 minutes in a conventional oven and are not included
in Basic Cook on pages 16-18. BAKE is a prepro-
grammed setting that makes it easy to bake with high
speed air circulation at 325°F.
The baking time is 25% to 33% less than in a conven-
tional oven. No preheat is necessary. Use the low rack.
•Suppose you want to bake a cake for 25 minutes.
PROCEDURE

Touch START.
2
Enter cooking time.
NOTE:
1. The temperature can be changed. To change the
temperature, touch BAKE twice at step 1. When the
display shows SELECT COOKING TEMP, touch
desired temperature pad. When adapting recipes or
package directions, reduce the suggested baking
temperature by 25 F.
2. When you bake for the first time, enter 2/3s of the
usual baking time and check carefully throughout the
baking. If extra time is needed, add and continue to
check often until the desired doneness has been
achieved.
