The Specifications for a Sharp R-220DW Carousel Microwave

Owning a Sharp R-220DW carousel microwave provides you with a basic microwave to be used only for food preparation, rather than for drying items, such as newspapers, gourds or herbs. You can find a broad variety of accessories to buy for your microwave, including a microwave-safe thermometer, bacon racks and egg cookers, but make your selections carefully, since Sharp won't cover damages from accessories. Knowing the specifications of your Sharp R-220DW can help you choose accessories, as well as provide you with information when comparing this model to other microwaves.
  1. Power

    • The higher the microwave wattage, that faster your food cooks. The Sharp R-220DW microwave runs on 800 watts of power, a high wattage. This microwave also has a standard frequency of 2450 megahertz. The sugars, water and fats in your food absorb this frequency, producing heat and a fast vibration that cook your food. Plug the microwave into a standard U.S. household 120-volt AC outlet.

    Dimensions and Weight

    • The outside dimensions for the microwave include a width of 18 1/8 inches, a height of 10 7/8 inches and a depth of 14 1/8 inches. The interior has a width of 12 1/2 inches, a height of 8 inches, and a depth of 13 1/4 inches. The microwave oven's capacity is 0.8 cubic feet, and the oven weighs about 22.7 pounds.

    Turntable

    • The removable turntable system, which turns clockwise or counterclockwise for uniform cooking, has a diameter of 10 3/4 inches.

    Warranty

    • The Sharp R-220DW has a one-year warranty for labor and parts. The warranty extends for another four years for the replacement of the magnetron tube parts only. The magnetron tube heats the microwave cavity using radio waves. The owner is responsible for replacing the light bulb and turntable.
