About Your Oven
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.
The Sharp Carousel II Convection Microwave Cookbook is a valuable asset. Check if frequently for cooking principles,
techniques, hints and recipes.
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 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.
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.
After using convection, automatic mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may operate as long as 5
minutes, depending on the oven temperature.
Be aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave ovens have a tendency to become hot during convection,
automatic mix and broil cooking.
The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 900 watts using the IEC 705-1988 method. In using recipes or package directions, check food at the minimum
time and add time accordingly.
