Your oven comes with an operation manual and an Over-
the-Range Convection Microwave Cookbook. Read them
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 R-1850A, R-1851A and R-1852A are rated at 850 watts
using the IEC-705-1988 method. In using recipes or pack-
age directions, check food a minute or two before the mini-
mum time and add time accordingly.
