I have a Sharp Carousel II circa 1984 and want to try cooking with the
temperature probe. I don't have the manual and can't locate one for
this model online.

I've been using it for years, still works great but just for grins
want to try cooking a chicken with the temp probe. No combo of button
pushes seems to work. Probe in bird, plugged in the receptacle. If I
input 165 on the touchpad and then press "Temp" it brings up 165 f on
the display, if I push the "cook" button, it beeps but nothing
happens.

Anyone familiar with this oven or some close cousin who can advise how
to do this?

Thanks

You'll need to know exactly which model you have.

Thanks, tried that site and the Sharp site, neither have the manual
for the R-7350.

It might help to locate the owner's manual with the model number and
serial number... should be on the unit... and I think Sharp is still
in business, contact their customer service.

might the next step be to push a power level?

The temperature probe plugs into a socket in the cavity wall, no? I
had a zapper like that, but it had an air-driven "wave mixer", not a
turntable, a.k.a. carousel. The food remained still and the whole
square bottom was usable space. If you find out how to use a
temperature probe in a carousel-type zapper, please post it here to
assuage my curiosity.

1. calculate approximately how many turns of the table will be made based on
the length of your cook.

2. pre-untwist the probe cable by one half of the number of turns calculated
in step 1.

I've never seen a turntable in anything other than a microwave

Turn the carousel off.

All the wave stirrers I've seen were driven by a motor, usually the same
one that powered the fan. I'm sure I've seen units that had both a
stirrer and a turntable.

> Turn the carousel off.

That's what you have to do. If there is no switch, then you remove the
turntable. On mine, you then remove the little wheeled dingus that the
turntable rotates on, and put it aside. Generally you need to put the
turntable back in the microwave. There needs to be space between the
food and the metal floor of the oven.

The "little wheeled dingus" supports the rim of the turntable. The non-
removable center thingie engages the turntable and makes it turn. The
turntable will wobble without the dingus, but it will try to turn
anyway.

I guess you have a different design. My "little wheeled dingus"
includes the center post. The turntable doesn't wobble because there is
a circular well in the middle. With the "little wheeled dingus"
removed, the turntable rests very securely on the edge of the well.
