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-
cation for ease of use. The oven must be placed
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 accor-
dance 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
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
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, it can be ordered directly from
the Sharp Accessories and Supplies Center. Have
your credit card number available and call toll-
free: 1-800-642-2122 for ordering the kit to be
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 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 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. It is normal
for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch
when cooking or reheating.
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, AutoBake,
AutoPizza, AutoGrill or AutoRoast, you will hear the
sound of the cooling fan. The fan may operate depend-
ing 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 Test
Procedure method. In using recipes or package
directions, check food a minute or two before the
minimum time and add time accordingly.

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.
• Use an overturned 9 or 10 inch oven
proof glass pie plate on top of the turn-
table when popping bagged micro-
wave popcorn.
• 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.

TINSEB053WRRZ-D41 SEC R-820JS/BC O/M
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.
ABOUT SAFETY

prepared food.
... for leftover, ready-to-reheat
refrigerated, and deli and carry-
out “fresh” food.
... white meat of poultry.
... dark meat of poultry. 160°F
TEMP FOOD
165°F
170°F
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. See page 20 for Child Lock feature.
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.
