    INSTRUCTIONS
    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
    WARNING -To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to
    excessive microwave energy:
    1.Read all instructions before using the
    appliance.
    2. Read and follow the specific 
    “PRECAU-
    TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPO-
    SURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
    ENERGY”
     on inside front cover.
    3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect
    only to properly grounded outlet. See
    “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” on
    page 3.
    4. Install or locate this appliance only in ac-
    cordance with the provided installation
    instructions.
    5. Some products such as whole eggs and
    sealed containers —for example, closed
    glass jars — are able to explode and should
    not be heated in this oven.
    6. Use this appliance only for its intended use
    as described in this manual. Do not use
    corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appli-
    ance. This type of oven is specifically
    designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not
    designed for industrial or laboratory use.
    7. As with any appliance, close supervision is
    necessary when used by children.
    8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a
    damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
    properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.
    9. This appliance should be serviced only by
    qualified service personnel. Contact nearest
    Sharp Authorized Servicer for examination,
    repair or adjustment.
    10. Do not cover or block any openings on the
    appliance.
    11. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.
    Do not use this product near water—for
    example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet base-
    ment, near a swimming pool or similar loca-
    tions.
    12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
    13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
    14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
    counter.
    15. See door surface cleaning instructions on
    page 22.16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
    a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend
    appliance when paper, plastic or other
    combustible materials are placed inside
    the oven to facilitate cooking.
    b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
    plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
    c. If materials inside the oven ignite,
    keep oven door closed, turn oven off
    and disconnect the power cord or
    shut off power at the fuse or circuit
    breaker panel.
    d. Do not use the cavity for storage pur-
    poses. Do not leave paper products,
    cooking utensils or food in the cavity
    when not in use.
    17. Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able
    to be overheated beyond the boiling point
    without appearing to be boiling. Visible
    bubbling or boiling when the container is
    removed from the microwave oven is not
    always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN
    VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
    OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER
    UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

    a. Do not overheat the liquid.
    b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway
    through heating it.
    c. Do not use straight-sided containers
    with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed
    container.
    d. After heating, allow the container to
    stand in the microwave oven at least
    for 20 seconds before removing the
    container.
    e. Use extreme care when inserting a
    spoon or other utensil into the container.
    18. If the oven light fails, consult a SHARP
    AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
    19. Do not operate any heating or cooking ap-
    pliance beneath this appliance.
    20. Do not mount unit over or near any portion of
    a heating or cooking appliance.

    Unpacking and Examining Your Oven
    Remove:
    1. all packing materials from inside the oven cav-
    ity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE
    WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the
    right cavity wall. Read enclosures and SAVE
    the Operation Manual.
    2.the feature sticker, if
    there is one, from the out-
    side of the door.
    Check the oven for any
    damage, such as mis-
    aligned or bent door, dam-
    aged door seals and seal-
    ing surfaces, broken or
    loose door hinges and
    latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door.
    If there is any damage, do not operate the oven
    and contact your dealer or SHARP AUTHORIZED
    SERVICER.
    Choosing a Location for Your Oven
    You will use your oven frequently so plan its lo-
    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 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more
    protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serv-
    ing only this appliance 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. Should you
    only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall
    receptacle.
    A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes
    allow. Follow package directions.
    A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled
    in or tripping over a longer cord.
    Extension Cord
    If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord
    that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept
    the plug on the microwave oven. The marked  rating of the extension cord
    should be AC 115-120 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 in-
    structions, 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.
    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
    GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
    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.
    Do not place or install the oven in any area where
    heat and steam are generated; for example, next
    to or above a conventional gas or electric range
    or above a conventional wall oven. Heat and
    steam may damage the electronics or the me-
    chanical parts of the oven.
    Built-in Kit
    Your oven can be built into a cabinet or wall—not
    near or above a heat source—using Sharp’s Built-
    in Kit, Model RK-82K(black). If your dealer does
    not stock the kit, order directly by calling 1-800-
    642-2122 to have it sent to your address.
    The kit includes ducts and finish trim strips and
    easy-to-follow instructions for installation as well
    as the location of the power supply.

    INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
    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 38 and 39 for ordering
    the Ultimate Accessory, the SHARP CAROUSEL MI-
    CROWAVE 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.
    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.
    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 convection, grill, roast, CompuBake,
    CompuPizza, CompuGrill or CompuRoast, you will
    hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may operate
    depending on the oven temperature.
    Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convec-
    tion microwave ovens have a tendency to become hot.
    The oven is hot whenever the top grill, both grill or con-
    vection symbols are lighted in the display 
    .
    The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
    used to dry clothes or newspapers.
    Your oven is rated 900 watts by using the IEC-705-1988
    method. In using recipes or package directions, check
    food a minute or two before the minimum time and add
    time accordingly.
    Eggs, sausages,
    nuts, seeds
    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.

    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 when using microwave-only cooking.
    Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.

    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.
    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.
    •Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
    United States Department of Agricultures
    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 dishs covering and carefully open popcorn and
    oven cooking bags away from the face.
    •Stay near the oven while its 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.
    •Use potholders and be careful when using convection,
    grill, roast, CompuBake, CompuPizza, CompuGrill
    or CompuRoast as cabinet, interior and door may be
    too hot to touch.

    180°FChildren 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.
    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.
