OPERATION FOR MICROWAVE COOKING
Throughout This Carousel Convection Microwave Cookbook you will find step by step directions for
each recipe. Basic instructions follow:
1. Make sure the oven is plugged into a 3-pronged, grounded 240V (South Africa),
50 Hz, 10 amp household circuit. When oven is plugged in, the display will show
on and off each second. Touch the CLEAR pad; will appear.
2. Always make certain the metal turntable is seated and in place. The oven should not be used with-
out the turntable in place, and it should never be restricted so that it cannot rotate.
3. The Variable Cooking Control on your Sharp Convection Microwave Oven allows you to select the
amount of microwave energy and the rate of cooking or defrosting. There are four levels or settings
for cooking: HIGH, MED HIGH, MED and MED LOW/DEFROST. Your cookbook explains the
use of this feature.
4. Be sure to select the recommended power level before beginning to cook. Refer to Operation of
Auto-Touch Control Panel for proper procedure. If you do not touch a setting on the Variable
Cooking Control panel, the oven will automatically cook at HIGH. Each recipe in your cookbook
gives instructions for the setting best suited for that particular food category. As you become more
familiar with the use of the Variable Cooking Control and microwave cooking, you will be able to
judge which power level to use for various foods.
5. If food does not seem to be heating properly, check the indicator immediately above the lighted
digital display. Be sure the Variable Cooking Control is on the proper setting.
6. The oven is programmed by touching the appropriate Auto-Touch pads.

Many foods are cooked at HIGH (100% power) for best results. The Variable Cooking Control allows
you to seledt the rate of microwave cooking, but the oven will automatically operate at HIGH if no
Variable Cooking Control pad is touched.
If you wish to cook at HIGH, it is not necessary to touch
the HIGH pad. For other Variable Cooking Control levels, the desired setting must be entered.
Suppose you want to heat 2 cups coffee for 1 minute 30 seconds at HIGH.
