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 itfor microwave cooking principles, techniques,
hints and recipes. See ordering information on page
16 for 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.
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 for the exterior of the oven to be warm to
the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation isa 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 700 watts. In using recipes or
package directions, check food a minute or two
before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
