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 19 and 20 for ordering
the Ultimate Accessory, the SHARP CAROUSEL MI-
CROWAVE COOKBOOK.

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 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.
