This document is a service manual for Sharp Grill and Microwave Ovens, specifically models R-6R50(W)/(B), R-6G50(W)/(B), R-6G52(W)/(B), and R-6R70(W)/(B). It serves as a supplemental manual to the base model R-6G10(W)/(B) service manual, providing additional information for these similar models. The manual emphasizes the importance of restoring the oven to its original condition using only identical specified parts for user safety.
Function Description
The device is a combination grill and microwave oven, offering various cooking modes:
- Microwave Cooking: Utilizes microwave energy to cook food. Power levels can be varied (Full Power, Roast, Simmer, Defrost, Warm) by controlling the ON/OFF time ratio of the microwave power within a 32-second time base. Full power operates continuously, while other modes cycle the power (e.g., Roast is 24 seconds ON, 8 seconds OFF for approximately 70% power).
- Grill Cooking: Cooks food using a grill heating element.
- Dual Cooking (Models R-6G50, R-6G52, R-6R70): Combines both microwave energy and grill heating element energy simultaneously for cooking.
- Easy Defrost Cooking: A special function to defrost meats and other foods faster and better, with four defrost stages. The oven automatically calculates cooking time based on food weight.
- Compu Cook: Automatically selects the cooking mode and computes the cooking time for baking, roasting, and grilling based on specific foods and their quantity or weight.
- Rotisserie Cooking (Models R-6R50, R-6R70): Allows for uniform grilling by rotating food inserted onto a skewer.
