1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instruc- tions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson. 2. Neither Sharp nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes. See pages 31 and 32 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.
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.
NEVER leave the thermometer in food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use. • Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.
