To avoid arcing, carefully read before placing the turntable support and turntable into the oven.
1. Place the turntable support, with the engraved word Top facing up, securely within the three pins on
the turntable motor shaft. See Figures 1 and 2. See Figure 3 to check for the correct placement.

consult your Sharp Carousel Convection Microwave
Cookbook for helpful hints for convection and combi-
nation cooking.
Page numbers followed by the letter c indicate the
convection/mix section of the book.
The oven should not be used without the turntable in
place, and it should never be restricted so that it can-
not rotate. You may remove the turntable when pre-
heating the oven and when preparing food to be
cooked directly on the turntable.
Caution: The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable,
turntable support, racks and dishes will be-
come hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick
oven gloves when removing the food or turn-
table from the oven.
Convection Cooking
*Suppose you want to cook at 350°F. for 20 minutes: During convection heating, hot air is circulated
throughout the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods
quickly and evenly. This oven can be programmed
for ten different convection cooking temperatures for
up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds.

Helpful Hints for Convection and Automatic
Mix Cooking
Your Sharp Convection Microwave Oven can
cook any food perfectly because of the number of
ways it can cook: microwave only, automatic mix,
convection only or broil. The cookbook that comes
with your oven has excellent instructions,
guidelines, hints, charts and recipes to help you
get the best use of your oven. Consult it often until
you are familiar with it. This Operation Manual
tells you how to program the oven.
The oven cannot be used without the turntable in
place. Never restrict the movement of the
turntable.
Convection Cooking:
1. When preheating, the turntable can be left in
or removed. When using the high rack for 2
shelf baking in a preheated oven, it is easier to
remove the turntable for preheat.
Place high rack on turntable along with foods.
When preheat is over, open oven door and
quickly place turntable, high rack and foods to
be baked inside.
2. Do not cover turntable, low rack or high rack
with aluminum foil. It interferes with air flow
that cooks food.
3.Round pizza pans are excellent cooking
utensils for many convection-only items.
Choose pans that do not have extended
handles.
4. Using a preheated low rack can give a grilled
appearance to steaks, hot dogs etc.Automatic Mix Cooking:
1. Meats are best when roasted directly on the
low rack. A dish can be placed below the meat
if gravy is to be made from the drippings.
2. Less tender cuts of meat can be roasted and
tenderized using oven cooking bags.
3. When baking, check for doneness after time
has elapsed. If not completely done, let stand
in oven a few minutes to complete cooking.
NOTE:
During mix baking some metal baking utensils
may cause arcing when they come in contact with
the turntable, oven walls or accessory racks.
Arcing is a discharge of electricity that occurs
when microwaves come in contact with metal.
If arcing occurs, place a heat resistant dish (Pyrex
®
pie plate, glass pizza dish or dinner plate) between
the pan and the turntable or rack. If arcing occurs
with other metal baking utensils, discontinue their
use for mix cooking.

BROILBROIL
Preheating is automatic when the BROIL setting is
used. Only actual cooking time is entered; the oven
signals when it is preheated to 450°F. Oven
temperature cannot be changed. Use BROIL setting
for steaks, chops, chicken pieces and many other
foods. See Convection Broiling Chart in cookbook.
*Suppose you want to broil a steak for 15 mintues:Slow Cook is preset at 300°F for 4 hours. The
temperature can be changed to below 300°F. The

*If the oven door is not opened, the oven
will automatically hold at the preheat
temperature for 30 minutes. After this
time has elapsed, an audible signal will
sound and the oven will turn off.
NOTE: 1. Preheating for broil may take from 7 to 10
minutes depending on temperature of
room and available power.
2.Although time is usually set for the
maximum broiling time, always check
food at the minimum time recommended
in the chart of cookbook. This will
eliminate the need to completely
reprogram the oven if additional cooking
time is needed. Simply close the oven
door and touch START to continue.
3. Should you need more broiling time,
reprogram within 1 minute of the end to
eliminate preheating.
Caution: The oven cabinet, cavity, door, turntable,
turntable support, racks and dishes will be-
come hot. To PREVENT BURNS, use thick
oven gloves when removing the food or turn-
table from the oven.

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
COMPU DEFROST CHART or is above or below the
limits in the “Amount” column on the COMPU DEFROST
CHART, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3-
step procedure found under Time Cooking on page 11.
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 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 in a microwave-safe dish.5. Check food for temperature after cooking. If
additional time is needed, continue to cook with
variable power and time.
6. If the sensor does not detect vapor properly when
popping popcorn, the oven will turn off, and the
correct time of day will be displayed. If the sensor
does not detect vapor properly when using sensor
reheat, ERROR will be displayed, and the oven
will turn off.
7. Any Sensor Cooking mode can be programmed
with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.
8. Each food has a cooking hint. Touch CUSTOM
HELP when the HELP indicator is lighted in the
display.
Selecting Foods:
1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage
temperature. For example, food  for dinner plate
reheat  would be at refrigerator temperature and
popcorn at room temperature.
2. Foods weighing less than 3 ounces should be
reheated  by time and variable power.
Covering Foods:
Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover
recommended in the 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. 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.
Sharps Sensor is a semi-conductor device that
detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted
from food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking
times and power level for various foods and quantities.
Using Sensor Settings:
1. After oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before
using sensor settings.
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 Reheat and Popcorn 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, the food
name will appear on the display. Do not open the
oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR 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 select cooking time and
variable power.
When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from
the food, remainder of cooking time will appear.
Door may be opened when remaining cooking
time appears on the display. At this time, you may
stir or season food, as desired.
