...About Your Oven
Your oven comes with an operation manual and an Over-
carefully and always save for reference.
Should you desire a cookbook for microwave only cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes, see the order form
on page 28 for ordering the Ultimate Accessory, the SHARP CAROUSEL MICROWAVE COOKBOOK.
NEVER use the oven without the turntable and support nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed
in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and coun-
terclockwise. See page 10 for turntable on/off instructions.
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 .
The fan will automatically start when heat rises from range surface units or burners and when convection, high mix, low mix or the broil settings are used.
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. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
The
age directions, check food a minute or two before the mini-
mum time and add time accordingly.
