ABOUT YOUR OVEN

This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully

hints and recipes. See pages 19 and 20 for ordering
the Sharp Carousel Microwave Cookbook.

use the oven without the turntable and support

ALWAYS
have food in the oven when it is on to absorb
the microwave energy.

When using the oven at power levels below 100%, 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 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
condensation 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 1100 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.
