Page 11
Face & Hands: Always use oven gloves to remove food or cookware from the oven. Stand back when opening
!
the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling-film), opening roasting
bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.
Check the temperature of food and drink and stir (before serving). Take special care when serving food
to babies, children or the elderly. the contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked before consumption to avoid burns.
FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION
Stir, turn &
stand
Initial temperature
Piercing
Arrangement
Covering
For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during cooking.
Where recommended, leave food to stand after cooking or
defrosting.
The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time
needed, for example, chilled food requires more cooking than
food at room temperature. The temperature of the container is
not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink. Cut
into foods with fillings, for example, jam doughnuts, to release
heat or steam.
Food with skin (e.g. potatoes, apples, fish, sausages, chicken),
or with membrane (e.g. egg whites/yolks), must be pierced in
several places before cooking or reheating. If not, steam will
build up and may cause food to explode.
Place thickest parts of food on the outside of the dish, e.g. place
the meaty ends of chicken drumsticks on the outside of the
dish.
Fish, vegetables and certain other foods benefit from being
covered during microwave cookery, follow recommendations
where given and use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.
Size & shape
Density &
quantity
Composition
& quality
Hygiene
Food size and shape affect the amount of cooking time needed.
When cooking more than one portion of the same food ensure
they are of a similar size and shape.
Food density and quantity affect the amount of cooking time
needed, for example, potatoes require more cooking than peas;
four potatoes will take longer to cook than two.
Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding, mince pies)
requires less heating time and should be watched, over-heating
can lead to fire. Use good quality ingredients for microwaving.
Economical cuts of meat can be used for casseroles.
Food hygiene standards (storage, handling and preparation)
apply to microwaving. Always store convenience foods as
recommended by the food manufacturer and keep no longer than
the "Use By" date.

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.
• DO NOT OPERATE the oven without the splash cover
in place.
• DO NOT REMOVE the splash cover UNLESS THE
POWER CORD IS REMOVED FROM THE OUTLET
because the rotary antenna,which is located on the
ceiling, operates for 1 minute after the door is opened
and injury could occur.
• Keep the ceramic 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.
SPLASH COVER
AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, REMOVE THE SPLASH COVER AND WASH BOTH SIDES OF IT IN A MILD DETERGENT SOLUTION. A BUILD UP OF GREASE MAY OVERHEAT AND BEGIN TO SMOKE AND MAY BURN THE
SPLASH COVER. THE SPLASH COVER IS LOCATED IN THE TOP OF THE OVEN AND MAY EASILY BE REMOVED. REMEMBER TO UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.
Removal:
1. Remove two thumb screws (A) as shown in Fig.1.
2. Remove the splash cover from the oven.
• Never use spray cleaners, oven keys or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.
• Do not remove the ceramic floor from the oven.
• 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.
Reinstall:
1. Insert two projections of the cover (B) into the holes of
the oven cavity backplate as shown in Fig. 2.
2. Secure the cover to the oven ceiling with two thumb
screws (A) as shown in Fig. 1.

OVEN INTERIOR
Clean the microwave oven cavity, at the end of each day
with a damp soft cloth for hygienic reasons. 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.
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.
Keep the air intake filter clean. Clean the air
intake filter once every two weeks.
Remove the air intake filter by pulling the two (2)
clips on the sides of the filter.
Wash the air intake filter in mild soapy water,
rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
After cleaning re-install the air intake filter.
Do not operate the oven without the air intake filter
in place.
Hole
Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small
holes in the 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 ceramic floor should be kept clean at all times. Minor
spills may be wiped with a damp cloth.

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 Do the oven lamp and fan motor come on for 1
minute when you open the door? YES/NO
Put half a cup of water on the ceramic 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, As your oven has a removable cover
over oven light bulb, it is possible for you to replace
the light bulb yourseif with care. The light bulb can be
purchased from Sharp Electronics (U.K.) Ltd. See page
25. Unplug the oven before replacing the light bulb.
PROBLEM
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.
After setting the time, the
oven does not start.
Oven cooks too slowly.
Oven makes a noise.
Outer cabinet is hot.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
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.
Ensure all "eyes" are removed and place in a heat resistant flan dish or
similar.
Check the door is closed properly.
Ensure correct power level has been selected.
The microwave energy pulses ON/OFF during cooking/defrosting.
The cabinet may become warm to the touch - keep children away

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.
