a wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to be used with  
standard 12-inch wall cabinets.  
30"  
15.5"  
30" or more from  
cooking surface  
At least 2"  
Backsplash  
If the space between the wall cabinets is 36 or 42 inches,  
a Filler Panel Kit can be used to fill the gap. The metal  
filler panels come in 3-inch wide pairs. One set is needed  
for a 36-inch opening and 2 sets for a 42-inch opening. The  
Filler Panel Kit should be installed before the Microwave  
Oven/Hood is installed. See page 14 for ordering informa-  
tions.  
66" or more

Figure 1  
2 WALL CONSTRUCTION  
This Microwave Oven/Hood should be mounted against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat  
for proper installation. If the wall is not flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction should be a minimum of  
2x 4wood studding and 3/8or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must be capable of  
supporting weight of 110 poundsthe oven and contentsAND the weight of all items which would normally be  
stored in the top cabinet above the unit.  
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2x 4wall stud.  
To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods may be used:  
A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in the stud.  
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.  
The center of the stud can be located by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and then  
placing a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16or 24to either  
side of this mark.

3 ELECTRICAL 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  
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO NOT UNDER ANY  
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.  
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to a separate 120 Volt AC, 60  
Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single grounded receptacle. The receptacle  
should be located inside the cabinet directly above the Microwave Oven mounting  
location as shown in Figure 2.  
NOTE:  
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical  
Figure 2  
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.  
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.  
Ground  
Receptacle  
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.  
Opening for  
Power Cord  
4 HOOD EXHAUST DUCT  
When the hood is vented to the outside, a hood exhaust duct is required. All ductwork must be metal; absolutely do  
not use plastic duct. Check that all connections are made securely. Please read the following carefully:  
Exhaust connection: The hood exhaust has been designed to connect to a standard 3-1/4X 10rectangular  
duct. If round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round adapter must be used.  
Rear exhaust: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, care should be taken to align the exhaust with the  
space between the studs, or wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space  
between wall studs to accommodate exhaust.  
Maximum duct length: For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of 3-1/4X 10rectangular or 6”  
diameter round duct should not exceed 140 feet.  
Figure 3  
Elbows, adapters, wall caps, roof caps, etc. present  
additional resistance to air flow and are equivalent to a  
section of straight duct which is longer than their actual  
physical size. When calculating the total length, add  
the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adapters  
plus the length of all straight duct sections. Figure 3  
shows the approximate feet of equivalent length of  
some typical ductwork parts. Use the values in paren-  
theses for calculating air flow resistance equivalent,  
which should total less than 140 feet.

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.  
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset.  
Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques,  
hints and recipes. See pages 34 and 35 for ordering  
the Ultimate Accessory, 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  
condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings  
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  
clockwise 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

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.  
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking  
and reheating:  
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and  
reheating.  
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as  
Corningware®.  
• 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.  
• 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.)  
These items can be used for short time reheat-  
ing of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:  
How to use aluminum foil in your microwave  
oven:  
• wood, straw, wicker  
• 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.  
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  
• 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.  
• food storage bags  
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.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE  
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use  
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.  
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.  
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably;  
if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.  
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not  
a toy. See page 30 for Child Lock feature.  
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing  
on the oven door.

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.

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.  
Use care when removing items from the oven so  
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not  
touch the safety door latches.

SENSOR COOK  
7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when  
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the  
correct 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.  
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.  
Using Sensor Settings:  
8. Check food for temperature after cooking. If addi-  
tional time is needed, continue to cook manually.  
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before  
using Sensor Cook.  
9. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch CUSTOM HELP  
pad when the HELP indicator is lighted in the  
display.  
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.  
Covering Foods:  
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover  
recommended in the Instant Sensor and Sensor Cook  
Center for these foods.  
3. The oven works with foods at normal storage tem-  
perature. For example, popcorn would be at room  
temperature.  
4. Any Sensor Cook selection can be programmed  
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 31.  
1. Casserole lid.  
5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the  
chart should be cooked following the guidelines in  
any microwave cookbook.  
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.  
6. During the first part of Sensor Cook, food name  
will appear on the display. Do not open the oven  
door or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of  
the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor  
will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message  
will appear. To continue cooking, touch the  
STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.  
3. 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.  
Be careful when removing any covering to allow  
steam to escape away from you.  
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.

Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.  
Exterior  
Turntable/Turntable Support  
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. 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.  
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.  
Door  
Be careful with the edge of the oven door as it is glass  
and could chip or break. 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.  
Waveguide Cover  
The waveguide cover is located on the right side wall  
of the oven cavity. It 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.  
Stainless Steel Trim (R-1514)  
The exterior should be wiped often with a damp cloth  
and polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty.  
There are also a variety of products designed espe-  
cially for cleaning and shining the stainless exterior of  
the oven. We recommend that the cleaner be applied  
to a soft cloth and then carefully used on the stainless  
exterior rather than sprayed directly onto it. Follow pack-  
age directions carefully.  
Grease Filters  
Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never  
operate the fan or oven without the filters in place.  
1. Pull down slightly on the tab toward the front of the  
oven and remove the filter. Repeat for the other filter.  
Touch Control Panel  
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.  
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.  
3. Agitate and scrub with a brush to remove embed-  
ded dirt.  
Interior  
Cleaning is easy because little heat is generated to the  
interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and set-  
ting 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. The rack can be cleaned  
with hot soapy water, rinsed and dried.  
4. Rinse thoroughly and shake dry.  
5. Replace by fitting the filter back into the opening.  
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.
