DISH CHECK. If you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. If the dish becomes very hot, DO NOT use it for microwaving.

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.

R-1872, R1870BK, R-1871, R-1870 specifications

The Sharp R-1870, R-1871, R-1870BK, and R-1872 microwaves are advanced kitchen appliances designed for efficiency and convenience in meal preparation. These models are known for their innovative features and technologies that enhance everyday cooking.

One of the standout features of these microwaves is the integration of inverter technology. This groundbreaking technology allows for a consistent and even distribution of heat, ensuring that food is cooked thoroughly without overcooking or uneven hot spots. Unlike traditional microwave ovens, inverter technology provides a continuous power output, which is particularly beneficial for delicate foods like seafood, sauces, and sweets.

Another notable characteristic of the Sharp R-1870 series is its spacious interior. With a generous capacity, these microwaves can accommodate large dishes, making them ideal for family meals or batch cooking. The flexible turntable adjustment allows users to maximize interior space for various dish sizes.

The R-1870 series also features sensor cooking technology. This intelligent system detects moisture released by the food during cooking and automatically adjusts cooking times and power levels. This ensures optimal cooking results without the need for constant monitoring, saving time and effort in the kitchen.

User convenience is further enhanced by the user-friendly control panel, which includes pre-programmed settings for popular dishes. This simplifies the cooking process, allowing users to prepare meals with the push of a button. The models also feature a large, easy-to-read display that shows cooking settings and times, making operation straightforward.

In terms of design, the Sharp R-1870 models come in various finishes, including sleek black and stainless steel options, to complement modern kitchen aesthetics. The units are compact, making them suitable for countertops with limited space.

Safety features, such as child lock functionality and a time countdown, are also integral to the design of these microwaves. This adds peace of mind for families with young children or for those who multitask in the kitchen.

All in all, the Sharp R-1870, R-1871, R-1870BK, and R-1872 microwaves represent a fusion of technology and practicality, catering to the needs of today’s busy home cooks. With their inverter cooking capabilities, sensor technology, and spacious designs, these models are a smart addition to any kitchen, making meal preparation easier and more enjoyable.
