When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. See instructions for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts on page 31. The oven should not be cleaned with a water jet. The appliance must not be cleaned with a steam cleaner.
Use oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.
The microwave oven should not be left unattended during operation. Power levels that are too high, or cooking times that are too long, may overheat foods resulting in a fire.
A separate circuit serving only this appliance should be provided.
Oven Use:
• The oven is for 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 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.
• Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or allow anyone who is not an electrician authorised by SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.
• 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.
• Do not use the oven near a steamer or a fryer.
• Always wipe up spills on the oven floor and splashes on the walls after cooking. If you leave grease on the oven floor and walls it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using your oven.
• Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker, consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer prior to oven use.
• Liquids: Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container. Stir the liquid prior to and during heating/reheating, let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven after cooking.

NSTALLATION
I
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.
Caution Sheet: Always keep the caution sheet (Special Instructions and Warnings) close to the oven for your reference.
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. Remove the
protective film (blue film) from the outer case cabinet (if covered). 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. Do not place this oven in a position which is not easily accessible. To position the oven too high can be dangerous because food can not be removed safely.
3 Ensure there is a minimum free space above the
oven of 15 cm.
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.
5 Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged and
that it does not run under the oven or oven 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. 8 The unit may be secured to a countertop or stand.
There is a screw hole in the bottom of the unit. After the oven is permanently placed, drill a hole through the counter top for a 5 mm self-tapping screw. The hole should be 20 mm from the left side of the outer case cabinet and 180 mm back from the front edge of the cavity face plate.
180 mm
20 mm
9 This oven is not intended to stack one on top of
another.
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 wiring to overheat and catch fire.
• If the plug or socket is loose or the power supply cord is damaged, do not operate the oven, it must be replaced by the special power cord. Contact your dealer or a Service Technician appointed by SHARP. 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 non-rewireable (moulded) plug. Should it not be suitable for the socket outlet in your kitchen, remove the plug and fit an appropriate type, observing the wiring code given in “To replace the mains plug” on page 33.
The fuse from a cut-off plug should be removed and the plug disposed of in safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted into a socket outlet as serious electrical shock may occur. The plug must not be used without the fuse cover fitted.
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 33.

OW TO OPERATE THE OVEN
Introduction: Water, sugar and fat in food absorbs microwaves and causes their molecules to vibrate. This creates heat by friction, in the same way your hands get warm when you rub them together. The outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy and the remaining portions by conduction. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating. Where recommended, allow food to stand, this is not optional but is necessary to ensure thorough cooking. It is particularly important for dense food, such as joints of meat.
MEMORY COOKING
NOTE FOR MEMORY COOKING
• This oven has 20 memory banks (1-20) which can store cooking programmes.
• The memory banks 1-0 have been programmed previously as shown in the table. These preprogrammed memory banks can be changed individually if required.
• In addition for all memory banks a time constant
1.7 for the double quantity is stored. The stored time constant can also be changed individually if required.
• Information in these memory banks is not lost due to power interruptions. If the power goes off, the oven does not need to be reprogrammed. No batteries are necessary for this type of memory.
• If you want to memorise or check the programme or cook using memory 11-20, press the desired NUMBER pad twice within 1 second.
NOTES:
• Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.
• Microwaves are reflected by metal.
• The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage.
• Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving.

Note: If you do not open the door when an audible signal sounds, the defrosting cycle will continue and the
defrosting time will count down to 0.
EXPRESS DEFROST CHART
This is specially designed for smaller cuts of food. The following foods should be used on the express defrost programme.
1. Beef Steak
2. Lamb Chops
3. Pork Chops
4. Chicken Portions
5. Fish Steaks
The oven is pre-programmed with a time and power level cycle so that the food listed above is defrosted easily.
BASIC IDEAS FOR EXPRESS DEFROST
i/ Always allow food to stand for approx. 10-30 minutes after defrosting to equalise the temperature and to produce
better defrosting results. ii/ Check food after standing. If the item is not thoroughly defrosted, continue to defrost on 20% power for additional time. iii/ Choose foods that are the same thickness throughout. This will produce better defrosting results. Foods which
vary in thickness may require shielding with small flat pieces of tin foil to prevent over-defrosting. iv/ For foods not listed in the chart refer to the manual defrosting chart. v/ When freezing chicken pieces, steak, chops and fish, freeze separately in single flat layers and if necessary
interleave with freezer plastic to seperate layers. This will ensure even defrosting.

LEANING & MAINTENANCE
WARNING
• Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door
seals and adjacent parts as this may prevent the door from closing correctly and may cause a leakage of microwaves. To clean use a mild detergent solution on a soft damp cloth.
• Keep the oven floor clean at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavily, it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.
• Never use spray cleaners, oven keys or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.
OVEN INTERIOR
Clean the microwave oven cavity, at the end of each day with a damp soft cloth. For heavier soil, use mild soap applied with a soft damp cloth wipe clean ensuring all mild soap is removed. Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate through the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven. Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the
• Do not remove the oven floor from the oven.
• Do not operate the oven without the air ventilation cover.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners, abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads on any part of your microwave oven.
• Do not sprinkle water onto the oven directly. It may cause electric shock, leakage of electricity or damage of the oven.
• Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
oven walls. Excess water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior. It is important that the door seals and sealing surfaces are kept clean at all times, wipe regularly with a damp cloth. The oven floor should be kept clean at all times. Minor spills may be wiped with a damp cloth.
OUTER CABINET
Wipe the outside cabinet with a mild detergent solution on a soft cloth. The control panel must be wiped clean whilst the door is open, therefore inactivating the oven.
AIR INTAKE FILTER
Keep the air intake filter clean. Clean the air intake filter once every two weeks. Wash the air intake filter in mild soapy water, rinse and dry with a soft cloth. You can remove the air intake filter easily using a coin (less than 2mm thick.) Do not operate the oven without the air intake filter in place.
Removal:
1. Remove one special screw (A) as shown in Fig.1.
2. Remove the upper holder from the air intake filter.
3. Remove the air intake filter from the lower holder.
Reinstall:
1. Insert the air intake filter into the slot of the lower holder.
2. Place the upper holder on the air intake filter.
3. Secure the upper holder and air intake filter to the oven with one special screw (A) as shown in Fig. 1.

ROUBLESHOOTING
If you think the oven is not working properly there are some simple checks which you can carry out yourself before you call for an engineer. This will help prevent unnecessary service calls if the fault is something simple.
Simply answer “YES” or “NO” to the following questions:
1 Does the oven lamp come on when you open the
door? YES/NO
Put half a cup of water on the oven floor in the oven and close the door. Cook for 1 minute at 100%.
2 Does the oven lamp come on? YES/NO 3 Does the fan motor work? (Check by placing your
hand above the air vent openings) YES/NO
4 After 1 minute does the “Beep” signal sound?
YES/NO
5 And did the heating indicator “ON” go out?
YES/NO
6 Is the water in the cup hot? YES/NO
If you answer “NO” to any question first check that the oven is plugged in properly and the fuse has not blown, if there is no fault with either, check against the troubleshooting chart below.
WARNINGS:
• Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself, or allow anyone other than a Service Technician, appointed by SHARP to carry out the service.
• The door seal stops microwave leakage during oven operation, but does not form an airtight seal. It is normal to see drops of water, light or feel warm air around the oven door. Food with a high moisture content will release steam and cause condensation inside the door which may drip from the oven.
• Repairs & Modifications: Do not attempt to operate the oven if it is not working properly.
• Outer Cabinet & Lamp Access: Never remove the outer cabinet. This would be very dangerous due to high voltage parts inside which must never be touched, as this could be fatal. Your oven is not fitted with a lamp access cover. If the lamp fails do not attempt to replace the lamp yourself, please contact your supplier.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
Draught circulates around the door.
Condensation forms in the oven, and may drip from the door.
Flashing or arcing from within the cavity when cooking.
Arcing potatoes. Ensure all “eyes” are removed and place in a heat resistant flan dish or
After setting the time, the oven does not start.
Oven cooks too slowly. Ensure correct power level has been selected.
Oven makes a noise. The microwave energy pulses ON/OFF during cooking/defrosting.
Outer cabinet is hot. The cabinet may become warm to the touch - keep chidren away
When oven is working, air circulates within the cavity. The door does not form an airtight seal so air may escape from the door.
The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so steam produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface. The amount of steam produced depends on the water content of the food being cooked. Some foods, such as potatoes have a high moisture content. Condensation trapped in the door glass should clear after a few hours.
Arcing will occur when a metallic object comes into dose proximity to the oven cavity during cooking. This may possibly roughen the surface of the cavity, but would not otherwise damage the oven.
similar.
Check the door is closed properly.

O REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG
The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as shown opposite:
As the colours of the cores in the mains lead of your oven may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug, connect the wires as shown: Make sure the terminal screws are tight and the cable is held securely by the cable grip where it enters the plug. Like most appliances in your home, your oven must be connected to a single phase 230-240 Volt, 50Hz alternating current supply. If you do not make the proper electrical connections you might damage the oven or injure yourself. Neither SHARP nor the supplier will be liable if this happens.
