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 15 and 16 for ordering the Cook
Information, 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 for Express Defrost, 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 cook-
ing 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.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 600 watts by using the IEC Test Pro-
cedure. In using recipes or package directions, check
food at the minimum time and add time accordingly.
