• 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 ceramic floor and splashes

on the walls after cooking. If you leave grease on the ceramic floor and walls it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using your oven.

• After each use wipe the splash cover on the ceiling of the oven with a soft damp cloth to remove any splashes. If you leave grease on the splash cover it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using your oven.

WARNING:

Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instruction has been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker, consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer prior to oven use.

Fire: If food overheats, starts to smoke or burn: Keep the oven door closed; turn the 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.

NSTALLATION

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 protec-

tive 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.

3 Ensure there is a minimum free space above the oven

of 25 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 (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. 8 Two ovens can be installed together by placing one

on top of another. Follow these instructions.

8-1) Place the oven A and position the oven B on top of

the oven A as shown in the figure A.

8-2) Remove the single screw (a) holding the mounting

plate A to the rear cabinet of the oven A. And remove the mounting plate A.

8-3) Remove the single screw (b) from the rear cabinet

of the oven B, as shown in the figure A.

8-4) Reinstall the mounting plate A to the rear cabinet of

the oven B with the single screw (b) removed, as shown in the figure A.

8-5) Hold the mounting plate A to the rear cabinet of the

oven A with the single screw (a), as shown in the figure A.

8-6) Remove the screw (a) holding the mounting plate B

to the rear cabinet of the oven B. And remove the mounting plate B from the oven B. See the figure A.

8-7) Install the screw (a) to its position again. 8-8) Remove the screw (c) from the oven A. 8-9) Remove the screw (d) from the oven B.

WARNING:

In situations where two ovens are installed together by placing one on top of another,

1) Use the two mounting plates for fixing the two ovens.

2) Make sure that the power supply cord is not caught between the two ovens.

3) Do not install more than one oven on top of another.

4) Do not lose the removed screws.

WARNING:

It is hazardous for anyone other than a Service Technician, approved by SHARP to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

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 30.

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.

Piercing

Arrangement

Covering

Size & shape

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.

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.

Density & quantity

Composition & quality

Hygiene

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.

ADVICE FOR DEFROSTING

Meat joints

Poultry

Steak, Chops & Chicken Portions

Place in a flan dish, turn over at least 4-5 times during defrosting, shield any warm areas with small, flat pieces of foil. After defrosting, wrap in foil and allow meat to stand for 1-2 hours, defrosted.

Place in a flan dish, turn over at least 3-4 times during defrosting, shield any warm areas with small, pieces of foil. After defrosting, wrap in foil and allow poultry to stand for 1-2 hours, until thoroughly defrosted.

NOTE: Do not defrost poultry with giblets.

Place in a flan dish, separate during defrosting and turn over at least 2-3 times. Shield if necessary.

until thoroughly

Cubed & Minced Meat

Whole fish & Fillets

Prepacked Frozen Foods

Place in a bowl, remove defrosted parts and turn over at least 3-4 times during defrosting.

Place in a flan dish, separate and turn over at least twice during defrosting. Shield if necessary.

Remove packaging, including any foil and place in a suitable dish.

NOTES:

• To defrost food, use either 30% or 10% microwave power.

• Shield warm areas with small pieces of foil if necessary.

• It is important to turn food over, separate (where appropriate) and rearrange to ensure even defrosting.

• Standing time is necessary after defrosting to ensure thorough defrosting.

ADVICE FOR REHEATING

WARNINGS:

Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. 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.

Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.

Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.

•

Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the size, shape and

•

material of the container. To avoid overheating and fire, spacial care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example,

•

mince pies, Christmas pudding. Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturers' instructions on the can.

•

Plated meals

Casseroles

Poultry portions

Sliced meat

Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately, see below. Place smaller items of food to the

centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 50%, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating. Ensure thoroughly reheated before serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid, reheat on 50%. Stir frequently to ensure even reheating.

Place thickest parts of the portions on the outside of the dish, cover with microwave cling film and reheat on 70%. Turn over halfway through reheating.

NOTE: Ensure poultry is thoroughly reheated, before serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 50%. Rearrange at least once to ensure even reheating.

Pies

Vegetables

NOTE: Ensure meat is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Place pies on plate or in a flan dish. Reheat meat pies on 70% and fruit pies on 50%.

Cover with vented microwave cling film or suitable lid and reheat on 50%. Stir at least once during reheating.

EXPRESS DEFROST

This is specially designed for smaller cuts of food. The following items are to be used on the express defrost programme.

1.Beef Steak

2.Lamb Chops

3.Pork Chops

4.Chicken Legs

5.Fish Fillets

The oven is pre-programmed with a time and power level cycle so that the food listed above is defrosted better and faster.

BASIC IDEAS FOR EXPRESS DEFROST

i/ Always allow food to stand for approx. 30-45 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 legs, 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.

FOOD

Steak Pork, lamb chops Chicken Legs

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.

• Never use spray cleaners, oven pads 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.

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 soap is removed. Make sure that the 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 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.

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.

Door Splash cover

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.

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.

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 yourself with care. The light bulb can be purchased from either Sharp Electronics (U.K.) Ltd. or RH Hall (Microwave) Ltd. see back cover. 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.
