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 18 and 19 for ordering
the Ultimate Accessory, the SHARP CAROUSEL MI-
CROWAVE COOKBOOK.

microwave oven.

popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or
use special POPCORN pad.

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.

or cereals, to prevent boilovers.

or glass bowls.

FOOD

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.

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your oven is rated 1200 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.
