instruCtiOns
This appliance must be grounded. The Microwave Drawer
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 accordance 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.
– Improper
use of the grounding plug
can result in a risk of
electric shock. Do not use
an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician
or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service
person.

ALWAYS have food in the Microwave Drawer when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy.
The vent under the Microwave Drawer must not be blocked.
During microwaving, steam may come from the right side of
the vent.
When using the Microwave Drawer at power levels below 100%,
you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for
the exterior of the Microwave Drawer 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 Microwave Drawer. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered
ones.
The Microwave Drawer is for food preparation only. It should
not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Microwave Drawer is rated 1000 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.
When opening or closing the Microwave Drawer quickly, food
in the Microwave Drawer may be spilled. To clean, please refer
to the Cleaning and Care section on page 19.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
See page 21 for ordering the Sharp Carousel Microwave
Cookbook.

• 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 cookbook 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.
