Congratulations on acquiring your new microwave oven, which from now on will make your kitchen chores
considerably easier.
You will be pleasantly surprised by the kinds of things you can do with a microwave. Not only can you use it for
rapid defrosting or heating up of food, you can also prepare whole meals.
There are so many advantages to having a microwave oven which we are sure you will find exciting:
● Food can be prepared directly in the serving dishes, leaving less to wash up.
● Shorter cooking times and the use of little water and fat ensure that many vitamins, minerals and
characteristic flavours are preserved.
We advise you to read the operating instructions carefully.
You will then easily understand how to use your oven.
Enjoy using your microwave oven and prepare your own favourite dishes in your microwave oven.

NOTES:
• The waveguide cover is fragile. Care should be taken when cleaning inside the oven to ensure that it is not
damaged.
• Always operate the oven with the turntable and roller stay fitted correctly. This promotes thorough, even
cooking. A badly fitted turntable may rattle, may not rotate properly and could cause damage to 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
To avoid the danger of fire.
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.
This oven is designed to be used on a countertop
only. It is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit.
Do not place the oven in a cabinet.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that
the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.
The AC power supply must be 230V, 50Hz, with a
minimum 10A distribution line fuse, or a minimum
10A distribution circuit breaker.
A separate circuit serving only this appliance should
be provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is generated.
For example, close to a conventional oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity or
where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the
oven and keep the door closed in order to stifle
any flames.
Use only microwave-safe containers and
utensils. See Page GB-21. Utensils should be
checked to ensure that they are suitable for use
in microwave ovens.
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the
possibility of ignition.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the
turntable and roller stay after use. These must
be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease
may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings.
Do not block the ventilation openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food
and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may
cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep
frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the
oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, use only special microwave
popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure
the oven is operating as desired.
To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be
taken when cooking or reheating foods with a high
sugar or fat content, for example, Sausage rolls, Pies
or Christmas pudding.
See the corresponding hints in operation manual and
the cookery book section.
To avoid the possibility of injury
WARNING:
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or
malfunctioning. Check the following before use:
a) The door; make sure the door closes properly
and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.
b) The hinges and safety door latches; check to
make sure they are not broken or loose.
c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that
they have not been damaged.
d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure
there are no dents.
e) The power supply cord and plug; ensure that
they are not damaged.
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven
must not be operated until it has been repaired by
a competent person.
Never adjust , repair or modify the oven
yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than
a competent person to carry out any service or
repair operation which involves the removal
of a cover which gives protection against
exposure to microwave energy.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter
the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object between
the door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the
door seals and adjacent parts. Clean the oven
at regular intervals and remove any food
deposits. Follow the instructions for "Care and
Cleaning" on page GB-19. Failure to maintain
the oven in a clean condition could lead to
a deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their
doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for
precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock
Under no circumstances should you remove the outer
cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock
openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a
spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately, and
call an authorised SHARP service agent.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
Do not let the power supply cord hang over the edge
of a table or work surface.
