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 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. 4 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 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 28 and 29 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 11 for complete instructions. 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. ABOUT FOOD The fan will automatically start when heat rises from range surface units or burners and when convection, high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used. 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. The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers. Your oven is rated 850 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. FOOD Eggs, sausages, fruits &

vegetables DO DONT Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent explosion. Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes. Cook eggs in shells. Reheat whole eggs. Dry nuts or seeds in shells. Popcorn Use specially bagged popcorn for the Pop popcorn in regular brown bags microwave oven. or glass bowls. Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special POPCORN pad. Exceed maximum time on popcorn package. Baby food General 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. Heat disposable bottles. Heat bottles with nipples on. Heat baby food in original jars. Cut baked goods with filling after heating to release steam and avoid burns. Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight containers. Can in the microwave as harmful Stir liquids briskly before and after bacteria may not be destroyed. heating to avoid eruption. Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers. Deep fat fry. Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers. 5 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 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. ABOUT SAFETY Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended 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 the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use. 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. 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. Stay near the oven while it's 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. 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. 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 25 for Child Lock feature. 6 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 successfully in your new microwave convection oven. The chart below will help you decide what utensils and coverings should be used in each mode.

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. 13 ERROR cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, will appear and sensor cooking will be interrupted. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and select cooking time and power. When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired. 5. Check food for doneness after cooking with sensor settings. If additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable power and time. 6.

Any sensor setting can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24. Selecting Foods:

1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, foods for reheating would be at refrigerator temperature and potatoes for bak-

ing would be room temperature. 2. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked by time and variable power. Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the Sensor Cooking chart 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. Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excess fat and moisture when cooking bacon and potatoes. Line the turntable when baking potatoes. 4. 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. M I C R O W A V E F E A T U R E S MANUAL DEFROST If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the CompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the Amount column on the chart, you need to defrost manually. 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 To Set Power Level on page 12. Estimate defrosting time and press 3 for 30%

when you select the power level. For either raw or previously cooked frozen food, the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 2-3 cups of casse-

role or 1 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 1 minute increments on power level 3 until totally defrosted. When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place food in a microwave-safe dish. SENSOR COOKING 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. It takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking. Using Sensor Settings:

1. Room temperature should not exceed 95F. 2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel. 3. Sensor cooking can only be entered within 1 minute after cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad. 4. During the first part of sensor cooking,

C L E A N I N G A N D C A R E EXTERIOR The outside surface is precoated metal 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 abrasive cleaner. 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 harsh abrasives. TOUCH CONTROL PANEL Care should be taken in cleaning the touch control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door to inactivate the control panel 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. Avoid the use of excess water. Close door and touch STOP/CLEAR. INTERIOR- AFTER MICROWAVE COOKING The oven walls, ceiling and floor are stainless steel. Cleaning after microwave cooking is easy because no 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 mild soap; rinse thoroughly with hot water. INTERIOR- AFTER CONVECTION, MIX OR BROIL COOKING Spatters may occur because of moisture and grease. Wash immediately after use with hot, soapy water. Rinse and polish dry. Harder to remove spatters may occur if oven is not thoroughly cleaned or if there is long time/

high temperature cooking. If so, you may wish to purchase an oven cleaner pad with liquid cleaner within it-not a soap filled steel pad-for use on stainless or porcelain surfaces. Follow manufacturer's directions carefully and be especially cautious not to get any of the liquid cleaner in the perforations on the wall or ceiling or any door surfaces. Rinse thoroughly and polish dry. 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. 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. TURNTABLE/TURNTABLE SUPPORT The ceramic 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-safe using top rack. OVEN RACKS The high and low baking racks can be removed for easy cleaning and stored away from the microwave oven when racks are not needed. After each use, wash them in mild, sudsy water. For any stubborn stains, use a mild kitchen cleanser and scouring sponge as described above. They are dishwasher-proof. GREASE FILTERS Filters should be cleaned at least once a month. Never operate the fan or oven without the filters in place. 1. Pull the tab toward the front of the oven, down slightly 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. 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. Grease filter 26 Tab C L E A N I N G A N D C A R E FAN The fan will automatically start when heat rises from range surface units or burners and when convection, high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used. This protects the microwave oven from excessive tempera-

ture rise. The fan will stay on until the temperature decreases. It cannot be turned off manually during this time. For other uses, select either high or low speed. PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE:

1. DO NOT leave range unattended while using high temperatures. Automatic fan may start and provide excessive air to the surface units. This may cause spattering or boilover. 2. Avoid burning food. 3. Keep grease filters clean. LIGHT 1. To replace light bulbs, first disconnect power to the oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging. 2. To release cover remove the screw on the light cover.

(See illustration.) 3. Replace bulbs only with equivalent watt bulbs available from a Sharp Authorized Servicer or parts distributor. Bulbs are also available at most hard-

ware stores or lighting centers. DO NOT USE A BULB LARGER THAN 30 WATTS. 4. Close light cover and secure with screw removed in step 2. CAUTION: Light cover may become very hot. Do not touch glass when light is on. Do not use light for long time use such as a night light. CHARCOAL FILTER Charcoal Filter, Sharp Part Number RK-220 is used for No-vented, recirculated installation. The filter should be changed every 6 to 12 months depending on use. 1. Disconnect power to the oven at the circuit breaker panel or by unplugging. 2. Remove 3 screws that secure louver. 3. Remove louver by inserting flat edge screwdriver over each tab depressing the tab down and moving louver away from unit. 4. Pull the louver away from the oven. 5.
