MAFF HEATING CATEGORY
Heating category (a letter A to E) developed by
MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food)
with microwave oven and food manufacturers,
indicates the ability of the oven to heat small
quantities of food (up to 500g [1lb 2oz]). It does
not represent the general performance of the oven.
Food packs carry cooking instructions for heating
categories A to E. Follow instructions for the letter
corresponding to the oven’s heating category. The
higher the output power and heating category of
the oven the less heating time is required. As
shown opposite.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Oven Use:
• The oven is for domestic food preparation only.
Never operate when empty.
• Do not leave or store anything inside the oven
when not in use.
• Never attempt to use the oven with the door open.
It is important not to force or tamper with the door
safety latches. This may result in exposure to
microwave energy.
• Never operate the oven with any object caught in
the door sealing surfaces, this again may cause
microwave leakage.
• Do not insert fingers or objects in the holes of the
door latches or air-vent openings, as this may
damage the oven and cause an electric shock.
• If water or food drops inside the air vent openings
switch off the oven immediately, unplug it and call
a Service Technician appointed by SHARP.
• Never attempt to move the oven while it is
operating.
Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker,
consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer
prior to oven use.
WARNING: Only allow children to use
the oven without supervision when
adequate instructions have been given so
that the child is able to use the oven in a
safe way and understands the hazards
of improper use.
Do not allow anyone to play with the oven, or lean
or swing on the oven door.
WARNING!
Inspect the Oven:
Check the oven carefully for damage
before and regularly after installation.
• Make sure the door closes properly,
that it is not misaligned or warped.
• Check the hinges and door safety
latches are not broken or loose.
• Ensure the door seal and sealing
surfaces are not damaged.
• Inspect the oven interior and door for
dents.
Important:
If any damage is apparent, do not
operate the oven in any way. Contact
your dealer or an authorised Service
Technician appointed by SHARP.
1.Remove all packing materials. Do not remove the
plastic film from the inside of the oven window as this
protects it from dirt.
2.Place oven on a secure, level surface, strong
enough to take the oven weight, plus the heaviest
item likely to be cooked in the oven.
3.Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the
oven of 15cm.
4.Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or high
humidity are generated, (for example, near or
above a conventional oven) or near combustible
materials (for example, curtains). Do not block or
obstruct air vent openings, as obstructions may
ignite due to the emission of hot air. Do not place
items on top of the oven.
5.Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged
(See Installation next page) and that it does not run
under the oven or over any hot or sharp surfaces.
6.The socket must be readily accessible so that it can
be easily unplugged in an emergency.
7.Do not use the oven outdoors.
Fire: If food overheats, starts to smoke
or burn: Keep oven door closed; Turn
oven off; Switch off the power at the
socket and disconnect the plug from the
socket. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in fire and oven damage.
Liquids: Take care when microwaving
liquids and beverages. To prevent
delayed eruptive boiling of liquid and
possible scalding: Stir liquid prior to and
during heating/reheating, let liquid stand
in the oven at the end of cooking.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

BUILDING-IN-KIT.
This oven is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit.
IMPORTANT! ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
• Do not allow water to come into contact with the
power supply cord or plug.
• Insert the plug properly into the socket as the plug
may otherwise overheat and catch fire.
• Do not connect other appliances to the same socket
using an adaptor plug as it may cause the house
wiring to overheat and catch fire.
• If the power supply cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord.
The exchange must be made by an authorised
SHARP service agent.
A defective plug, power supply cord or socket may
overheat and catch fire during operation or cause
an electrical shock.
• When removing the plug from the socket always
grip the plug, never the mains lead as this may
damage the power supply cord and the
connections inside the plug.
• The product is fitted with a re-wireable plug. Should
it not be suitable for the socket outlet in your home,
remove the plug and fit an appropriate type,
observing the wiring code given in “To replace the
mains plug” on page 14.
If you wish to remove or replace the plug supplied,
ensure the plug is removed properly and not cut off.
When replacing the plug please ensure that you use a
BSI or ASTA approved plug to BS1363, this should be
fitted with a brown coloured 13 amp fuse approved
by BSI or ASTA to BS1362. If you have any doubt
about electrical connection seek the help of a
qualified electrician.
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring code
given in “To replace the mains plug” on page 14.
.
There are 5 microwave power levels, listed below with
the percentage power they represent:
HIGH 100% 800W
MEDIUM HIGH 70% 560W
MEDIUM 50% 400W
MEDIUM LOW 30% 240W
LOW 10% 80W
The microwave power level is varied by the
microwave energy switching on and off. When using
power levels other than HIGH (100%) you will be
able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on and off
as the food cooks or defrosts.

HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN
• Prepare and place food in a suitable container
(refer to “Cooking advice” given on page 8),
position food/container directly onto the turntable.
Close the door.
• To open the oven door, pull the door opening
handle.
1. Turn the COOKING CONTROL to the desired
setting; any one of the five microwave power
levels.
2. Turn the TIMER to the desired cooking/defrosting
time and the oven will start automatically.
IMPORTANT: When cooking/defrosting for
less than 2 minutes, turn the TIMER past the 5
minute mark and then back to the desired
setting. This will ensure the bell rings at the end
of the cooking time. SETTING THE TIMER
AUTOMATICALLY STARTS THE OVEN.
• When the oven starts, the oven lamp will light and the
turntable will rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise.
• If you wish to stop the oven during
cooking/defrosting to stir or turn food over, open
the oven door. Return food to the oven, close the
door and the oven will continue to operate.
• To change the power level or cooking time during
cooking, turn the cooking control or timer to the
desired setting.
• When cooking/defrosting is complete, the TIMER
returns to “O” zero and the bell will ring. The oven
lamp goes off and the turntable stops rotating.
Open the oven door, remove the food/container
carefully. Leave food to stand as required.
Always operate the oven with the turntable and
roller stay fitted correctly, see page 2. This
promotes thorough, even cooking. A badly fitted
turntable may rattle, not rotate properly and
damage the oven. The turntable rotates clockwise
or anti-clockwise. The rotary direction may change
each time you start the oven. This does not affect
cooking performance.
Ensure the TIMER is returned to “O” zero
position at the end of cooking, or the oven
will start automatically when the oven door is
closed.

COOKING ADVICE
WARNING Always attend the oven when in use.
Carefully follow the SHARP Operation Manual at all times. If you exceed
recommended cooking times and/or use power levels that are too high, food may
overheat, burn, and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.
Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, for example, Christmas pudding, mince
pies and fruit cakes.
Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before you use them in the oven. If you do
not, steam and pressure will build up inside and the container may explode.
Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable.
