    Thanks a lot for the response.

    I already have a 1000W step down transformer. Will connecting that create some issue with the operations of the microwave? I havent tried connecting it till now..so am really not sure how the microwave will function.

You will need a step-down transformer of the appropriate power (wattage) and the proper adapter plug for the country you'll be in. You need to look on the back of the microwave and see how many watts it CONSUMES, not how many watts of cooking power it produces. Usually the power consumption requirement should be in the ballpark of twice the power output. For a 700W (cooking power) oven, I would suspect it has about a 1400W power consumption requirement, so your step-down transformer must be rated at least 1500W. That may be cutting it close, so for lower heat and longer transformer life, I would choose a 2000 watt model. You need to be sure it comes with an adapter plug that's made for receptacles in the country you'll go to. One site I found has them for about $60. but I would read up on the subject to see if you need one of an EVEN HIGHER rating since microwave ovens do surge when they start cooking. You may need to use one rated at 3000W or more. More info: http://www.dvdoverseas.com/store/index.html?loadfile=itemthg2000.html

    Please re-read my previous post.

    I do not think the 1000W type is big enough.

    I think if you connect it and use the microwave you will destroy the step-down transformer.

My country use the 220 volts system do have to use a step down transformer of plug it in direct.it has been a year i have not used the appliance having no information on wattage
If your microwave is wired for 220 volts AC and your country standard house current is 220, and the plug is of the proper configuration, plug it in.

Standard microwave size is around 1100 watts at 110 volts Normally, two times the voltage is 1/2 the wattage. Ohms law, Voltares Law and Watts Law apply.

If your microwave is 1100 watts at 110 volts --- yes you will need a step- down transformer of some type.

After 2 or 3 seconds, my Sharp microwave starts sparking inside. I am NOT trying to cook metal...it only acts as if I did. Is my microwave "toast"?
I had the same problem with my microwave. There is a cover on the inside of the microwave called a "wave guide cover" which can cause the symptoms you described. It can be caused by grease or debris accumulating around or on the cover. Mine actually began to smoke and appeared burned in the top corner. It is very easy to remove and replace, and is pretty inexpensive and can probably be purchased online. They are model specific, so be sure to purchase the correct one for your unit.

How to convert electricity from 110 to 220 volts for my SHARPE Microwave oven
Ah, the problem of the ages. There are 2 solutions. One is a transformer of the proper size, and the second is to purchase a heavy duty battery charger (that runs on 220 volts). Connect the red and black (+ and -) wires to a 12v to 110v voltage inverter, similar to what you would plug into a 12v auto 'cigarette lighter' socket to produce 110v current from a car battery. The charger turns the 220 vac to 12 vdc, and the inverter turns the 12 vdc into 110 vac. This works, as it is what I did when I moved from the US to England.

Paint inside microwave oven, Can it be repainted ?
Yes. You need to clean it, sand it shiny, then clean it squeky again.

Then you can get high temperature appliance paint in spray on brush-on form from local appliance part store or places like Wal-Mart and Lowe's.

I would suggest you let it dry overnight with the door open before using the oven.

We're happy to help and we appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.
