Modern-Aire Ventilating Corporation 7319 Lankershim Blvd. North Hollywood, CA 91605 Phone: (818) 765-9870 Fax: (818) 765-4916 G R O U N D I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S 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 CIRCUMSTANCES 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. 6 I N F O R M AT I O N Y O U N E E D T O K N O W 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 37 and 38 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. See page 30 for complete instructions. ALWAYS have food in the oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy. ABOUT FOOD 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 condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be blocked. The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers. Your oven is rated 1100 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. D O N ' T Cook eggs in shells. Reheat whole eggs. Dry nuts or seeds in shells. Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or Exceed maximum time on popcorn glass bowls. package. Heat baby food in original jars. Heat disposable bottles. Heat bottles with nipples on. Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight containers. Can in the microwave as harmful bacte-

ria may not be destroyed. Deep fat fry. Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers. Operate the oven empty. F O O D Eggs, sausages, nuts, seeds, fruits &

vegetables Popcorn Baby food General D O Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent explosion. Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam es-

capes. Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave oven. Listen while popping corn for the pop-

ping 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 heat-

ing 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. 7 I N F O R M A T I O N Y O U N E E D T O K N O W 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. Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:

glass ceramic (Pyroceram), such as Corningware. heat-resistant glass (Pyrex) microwave-safe plastics (some microwave-

safe plastics are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content.) paper plates microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturer's directions.) These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:

wood, straw, wicker 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 food storage bags metal twist-ties Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for micro-

waving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on 100% power for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used. The following coverings are ideal:

Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon. Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating. Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape. Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking. 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. How to use aluminum foil in your microwave oven:

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. 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. 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. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used. ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE Children below the age of 7 should use the micro-

wave 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 comfort-

ably; 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. 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. Dont 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. See page 32 for Child Lock feature. 8 I N F O R M A T I O N Y O U N E E D T O K N O W ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Foods 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 meats or poultry to prevent overcook-

ing 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 hamburgers. 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 Agricultures recom-

mended temperatures:

T E M P 160F 165F 170F 180F F O O D

... for fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food. .. for leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out fresh food. .. white meat of poultry. .. dark meat of poultry. To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use. Rearrange foods like 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.

- Meats and poultry show no pinkness.

- Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. 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 cook-

ing 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. 9 P A R T N A M E S FRONT VIEW 14 13 12 15 16 17 BOTTOM VIEW

For example, popcorn would be at room temperature. 4. Any Sensor Cooking or Reheating selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 34. 5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the chart should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook. 6. During the first part of Sensor Cooking or Reheating, SENSING will appear on the display. Do not open the oven door or press STOP/CLEAR pad 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. rule of thumb is approximately four minutes per pound. For example, defrost four minutes for one pound of frozen spaghetti sauce. Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in one minute increments on 30% power until totally defrosted. 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. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking or reheating time will appear. The door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired. 7. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking or reheating foods, error messages will be displayed, and the oven will turn off. 8. Check food for correct temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually. Covering Foods Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the procedure for these foods. 1. Casserole lid. 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. 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. 16 O N E T O U C H S E N S O R REHEAT / POPCORN / BAKED POTATOES You can cook many foods by touching just one pad.

T U R N T A B L E O N / O F F For most cooking, the turntable should be on; however the turntable can be turned off so that it does not rotate when extra large dishes, such as the popular 13 x 9 x 2 glass utility casserole, are used. The casserole should be placed on the turntable so that it is level. The display indicates when the turntable is off.The door can be opened for checking food and the turntable will stay in the off position. After checking, close door and touch START All special features can only be used with the turntable on. When the turntable is set in the off position, only manual operation can be used except for the Reheat function which can be used for both options. When cooking large quantities of food which cannot be stirred, it is best to use a lower power level such as 40% or 50%. You may speed cooking for large amounts by programming 5 to 10 minutes on 100%

power (HIGH) followed by the desired time on lower power. See page 15 for how to program multiple sequences. You may wish to reverse a large casserole once during cooking; simply open door, reposition casserole, close door and touch START. Suppose you want to turn the turntable off. USING THE RACK The Rack allows several foods to be cooked or reheated at one time. However, for the best cooking and reheating, use the turntable on and the automatic features. When using the Rack, set time and power level manually. Allow plenty of space around and between the dishes. Pay close attention to the cooking/

reheating progress. Reposition the foods and reverse them from rack to turntable at least once during any cooking or reheating time. Using a lower power level will assist in better cooking/reheating uniformity. AVOID:

Storing the Rack in the oven when not in use. Popping popcorn on the turntable with the Rack in the oven. Using any browning dish on the Rack. Using special features with the Rack. Special features are designed to be used with foods only on the revolving turntable. Cooking directly on the Rackuse microwave-safe cookware. Press Turntable On/Off.
