Sharp R-1874 Convection Oven User Manual


 
ABOUT YOUR OVEN
This Operation Manual is valuable: read it carefully
and always save it for reference.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset.
Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques,
hints and recipes. See pages 28 and 29 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 wilt turn both
clockwise and counterclockwise. See page 11 for
complete 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 wilt automatically start when heat rises from
range surface units or burners and when convection,
high mix, tow mix or the broil settings are used.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food wilt influence
the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven.
Generally, covered foods wilt 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.
Your oven is rated 850 watts by using the IEC Test
Procedure. In using recipes or package directions,
check food a minute or two before the minimum time
and add time accordingly.
