H
Introduction: Microwaves are absorbed by water, sugar
and fat in food and cause them to vibrate. This creates
heat by friction, in the same way your hands get warm
when you rub them together.
Outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy,
and remaining portions by conduction. It is, therefore,
important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even
heating. Where recommended, allow food to stand, this
MEMORY COOKING
NOTE FOR MEMORY COOKING
• This oven has 20 memory banks (1-20) which can
store cooking programmes.
• The memory banks 1-5 have been programmed pre-
viously as shown in the table. These preprogrammed
memory banks can be changed individually if required.
• In addition for all memory banks a magnification fac-
tor 1.8 for the double quantity is stored. The stored
magnification factor 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

is not optional but is necessary to ensure thorough cooking and is particularly important for dense food, such as
joints of meat.
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.

• The microwave power level will default to 100% unless you press the SELECT POWER pad for the desired setting. Take care
when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, e.g, Christmas pudding, mince pies and fruit cakes. Before use, check that
utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before using them in the oven. If you do not, steam and pressure will
build up inside and the container may explode. Take care when heating contents in babies bottles, see page 15.
• Do not cook eggs in their shell as they will explode. Do not heat canned potatoes in the microwave oven as they may burst.
For microwaving, use only those utensils suitable for microwave cookery as indicated below.
A variety of cookware can be used for microwaving. Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in the corners tends to overcook.
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.

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
For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during cooking.
Where recommended, leave food to stand after cooking or
defrosting.

& quality
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
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.
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.
.
Hygiene
B5$7$7LQGG
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 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.

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.

LEANING & MAINTENANCE
C
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
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
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.
• 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.
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.

OVEN LIGHT REPLACEMENT
Unplug the oven before removing the removable cover to access oven light bulb, and replace the light bulb (25W/240V).
Make sure that the cover is secured to the oven cabinet after replacing the light bulb. See page 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

ROUBLESHOOTING
T
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?
5 And did the heating indicator “ON” go out?
6 Is the water in the cup hot?YES/NO
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.Ensure correct power level has been selected.
Oven makes a noise.
Outer cabinet is hot.The cabinet may become warm to the touch - keep children away
YES/NO
YES/NO
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.
The microwave energy pulses ON/OFF during cooking/defrosting.
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. To purchase the light
bulb, please contact your supplier or our help desk. See
page 30. Unplug the oven before replacing the light bulb.

O REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG
(
T
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.
