INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW  
ABOUT YOUR OVEN  
for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch  
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully  
when cooking or reheating.  
and always save it for reference.  
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. Vents on the oven  
back must not be blocked.  
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset.  
Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques,  
hints and recipes. See page 19 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.  
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be  
used to dry clothes or newspapers.  
Your oven is rated 1200 watts (R-508F) or 1000 watts  
(R-501F, R-404F, R-401F) 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.  
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

I NFORMATI ON YOU NEED TO KNOW  
ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS  
It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many  
The following coverings are ideal:  
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.  
• Paper towels are good for covering foods for re-  
heating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.  
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and  
reheating.  
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking  
and reheating:  
• 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 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 17 for Child Lock feature.  
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing  
on the oven door.

ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING  
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards  
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway  
outside of dish.  
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.  
TEMP  
160°F  
FOOD  
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.  
... 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.  
Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve  
its high quality and minimize the spread of  
foodborne bacteria.  
... white meat of poultry.  
... dark meat of poultry.  
170°F  
180°F  
Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can  
cause arcing and/or fires.  
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.

CLEANING AND CARE  
Disconnect the power cord before cleaning. If possible, leave the door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.  
Exterior  
Waveguide Cover  
The outside surface is painted. Clean the outside with  
mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do  
not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.  
The waveguide cover 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.  
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.  
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.  
Touch Control Panel  
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.  
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 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.  
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.
