ABOUT YOUR OVEN

This Operation Manual is valuable: read it care- fully and always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, tech- niques, hints and recipes. See page 18 for order- ing the Ultimate Accessory, the SHARP CAROU-

SEL MICROWAVE COOKBOOK.

NEVER use the oven without the turntable and sup- port nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise.

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 cook- ing. 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 800 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure.
