GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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
Check Installation Instructions for proper location for the power supply.
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 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. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUM-
STANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
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 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.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and
always save it for reference.
When using the oven at power levels below 100%, you
may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.
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. Ventilation openings must
not be blocked.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset.
Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques,
hints and recipes. See pages 23 and 24 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 clock-
wise and counterclockwise. See page 11 for complete
instructions.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 950 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.
ALWAYShave food in the oven when it is on to absorb
the microwave energy.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards

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.
ABOUT SAFETY
•
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.
•
•
•
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.
TEMP
FOOD
160°F
... for fresh pork, ground meat,
boneless white poultry, fish,
seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
Stay near the oven while it's in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.
165°F
... for leftover, ready-to-reheat
refrigerated, and deli and carry-
out “fresh” food.
•
•
NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or
other items.

... white meat of poultry.
... dark meat of poultry.
Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.
180°F
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.
•
•
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.

I NFORMATI ON 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 success-
fully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the
utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
The following coverings are ideal:
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for re-
heating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and

• 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. See page 20 for Child Lock feature.

SPECIAL FEATURES
SENSOR COOKING
The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this
occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cook-
ing, touch the Stop/Clear pad and cook manually.
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.
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.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using Sensor Cooking.
2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and
the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any mois-
ture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the cor-
rect time of day will be displayed. If the sensor does
not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods,
. ERROR will be displayed, and the oven will turn off.
3. The oven works with foods at normal storage tem-
perature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If addi-
tional time is needed, continue to cook manually.
4. Any Sensor Cooking selection can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 20.
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch Custom Help
when the HELP indicator is lighted in the display.
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart
should be cooked following the guidelines in any mi-
crowave cookbook.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the chart for these foods.
6. During the first part of Sensor Cooking, food name will
appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or
touch Stop/Clear during this part of the cooking cycle.

NOTE: Check foods when oven signals. After final 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
example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen
spaghetti sauce.
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on
the COMPU DEFROST CHART or is above or below
the limits in the “Amount” column on the COMPU
DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or sepa-
rate 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.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previ-
ously cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact
3-step procedure found under Time Cooking on page
10. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when
you select the power level.
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.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule
of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For

CLEANING AND CARE
Exterior
Turntable/Turntable Support
The outside surface is precoated steel and plastic. Clean
the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with
a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abra-
sive cleaner.
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 non-abrasive
scouring sponge as described above. They are also
dishwasher-proof. Use upper rack of dishwasher. The
turntable motor shaft is not sealed, so excess water or
spills should be wiped up immediately.
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.
Turntable
Turntable Support
Touch Control Panel
Grease Filters
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never
operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.
Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control
panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the
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
door and touch STOP/CLEAR.
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the
oven and remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.
2. Soak the filters in a sink or dish pan filled with
hot water and detergent. DO NOT use ammonia or
other alkali; they will react with the filter material and
darken it.
Interior
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
surfaces, 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
SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY
PART OF THE OVEN.
3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embed-
ded dirt.
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.
Waveguide Cover
The waveguide cover is located on the ceiling in the
oven cavity. It is made from mica so requires special
care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good
oven performance. Carefully wipe with a damp cloth
any food spatters from the surface of the cover imme-
diately after they occur. Built-up splashes may over-
heat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. DO NOT
REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.
Grease filter
Tab
Odor Removal
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. Allow to set in oven until cool. Wipe interior with
a soft cloth.

CLEANI NG AND CARE
Charcoal Filter
Fan
Charcoal Filter, Sharp Part number RK-230, is used for
nonvented, recirculated installation. The filter should be
changed every 6 to 12 months depending on use.
The fan will automatically start when heat rises from
range surface units or burners. This protects the micro-
wave oven from excessive temperature rise. The fan
will stay on until the temperature decreases. It cannot
be turned off manually during this time.
1. Disconnect power to the oven at the circuit breaker
panel or by unplugging.
For other uses, select either HI or LO speed.
2. Remove the louver mounting screw from the top
center of the louver and push down carefully on the
tab at each end of the louver to disengage it. (See
illustration.)
Work Light and Night Light
1. To replace light bulbs, first disconnect power to the
oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging.
3. Pull the louver away from the unit.
4. Change the charcoal filter.
2. To release cover, remove the screw on the light cover.
(See illustration.)
5. Carefully push the louver back into place (engaging
both the bottom and top tabs) and replace the screw
removed in step 2.
3. Replace light bulbs with equivalent watt bulb
available from your Sharp Authorized Servicer or
parts distributor. Bulbs are also available at most
hardware stores or lighting centers. DO NOT USE
A BULB LARGER THAN 30 WATTS.
