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. 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. (see p. 40)
1. Remove all packing materials including the feature sticker (if applicable). Do not remove the plastic film from the inside of the oven window as this protects it from dirt. The waveguide cover prevents food and grease from entering the waveguide area where it could cause damage. DO NOT REMOVE.
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. The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 15cm.
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. Do not place objects on top of the oven.
5. Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged (See Installation opposite) 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.
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.
• Do not connect other appliances to the same socket using an adaptor plug.
• If the plug or socket is loose or the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange must be made by an authorised SHARP service agent.
• When removing the plug from the socket always grip the plug, never the cord as this may damage the power supply cord and the connections inside the plug.
• If the fitted mains plug to your oven is a rewireable type and in the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, remove the plug and fit an appropriate type, observing the wiring code given in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 39. If you wish to remove or replace the plug supplied, ensure the plug is removed properly and not cut off.
• If the plug fitted to your oven is a non-rewirable plug and in the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type, observing the wiring code given in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 39.
Danger:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the plug disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted into a socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur. The plug must not be used without the fuse cover fitted. If you have any doubt about your microwave oven obtain the help of a qualified electrician.
If you wish to remove or replace the plug supplied, ensure the plug is removed properly and not cut off. 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 39.

MICROWAVING
MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
Introduction:
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves which causes 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 is not optional but 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. Only use utensils that are suitable for microwave ovens. (See suitable cookware, pages 18 - 19).
Power level:
The microwave power level is varied by the microwave energy switching on and off. When using power levels other than 100P you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on and off as the food cooks or defrosts.
IMPORTANT: The microwave power level will default to 100P unless you press the POWER LEVEL key to the desired setting.
TO CHECK THE POWER LEVEL:
To check the microwave power level during cooking, press the POWER LEVEL key. As long as your finger is pressing the POWER LEVEL key the power level will be displayed. The oven continues to count down although the display will show the power level.
To change the power level for cooking, enter the required time and then press the POWER LEVEL key. For example:
Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe section. Generally the following recommendations apply:
100P - (HIGH output = 800W) used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
70P - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 560W) used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.
50P - (MEDIUM output = 400W) for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
30P - (MEDIUM LOW output = 240W Defrost setting) to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
10P - (LOW output = 80W) For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.

Aluminium foil & foil containers, made from "Micro Foil®".
Heat resistant glass, (e.g. Pyrex®, Fire King®, Corning Ware ®).
Microwave-safe plastic cookware.
Microwave cling film, microwave roasting bags.
Heat-resistant china and ceramics.
When 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 corners tends to overcook.
YES
Always place on an up-turned plate on the turntable to prevent heat stress. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Be careful as these become very hot. Popcorn: Only use microwave popcorn in recommended packaging (follow popcorn manufacturer's instructions). Never use oil unless the manufacturer recommends and never cook for longer than instructed.
NO
YES/NO
Use small pieces of aluminium foil to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the oven walls. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer, eg. MicroFoil ®, follow instructions carefully.
YES
YES
YES
Microwave cling film and bags must be vented for steam to escape, pierce in 4 - 5 places. Do not use plastic or metal ties as they may melt or catch fire due to electrical ‘arcing’.

Always attend the oven closely. Look at the oven from time to time when cooking or reheating food in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible material. Only use for warming food. Pay special attention as over­heating may cause a fire in your oven. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

food
Composition
& quality
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.
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, eg. 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 high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding or mince pies) requires less heating time and should be watched, over-heating can lead to fire. Good quality ingredients should be used for microwaving. Economical cuts of meat are recommended for casserole.
Check the temperature of food and drink and stir before serving. Take special care when serving to babies, children or the elderly. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

FOOD HANDLING AND PREPARATION
ADVICE FOR COOKING
Piercing
Arrangement
Covering
Size & shape
Density &
quantity
Hygiene
Food with skin (such as potatoes, apples, fish, chicken), or with membrane (such as the white and yolk of eggs, including boiled eggs), must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating. If not, steam will build up and may cause food to explode. Note: Eggs in their shells and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in the microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwaving has ended.
Place thickest parts of food on the outside of the dish, for example, the meaty ends of chicken drumsticks should be placed 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 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.
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.
The microwave power level will default to 100P unless you press the POWER LEVEL key to reach the desired setting. Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, for example, Christmas pudding, mince pies and fruit cakes (see reheating chart in the cookbook section for guidance). Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before you use them in the oven. If you do not, steam and pressure will build up inside and the container may explode. Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable. WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

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, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example, minced pies or Christmas pudding.
• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturers’ instructions on the can.
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 50P, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating. Ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving.
Cover with vented microwave cling film or suitable lid, reheat on 50P. Stir frequently to ensure even reheating.
Place thickest parts of the portions on the outside of the dish, cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 70P. Turn over halfway through. NOTE: Ensure poultry is thoroughly reheated, before serving.
Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 50P. Rearrange at least once to ensure even reheating. NOTE: Ensure meat is thoroughly reheated before serving.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
WARNINGS:
• 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.
• 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 is not fitted with a lamp access cover, if the lamp fails, do not attempt to replace the lamp yourself, call a Service Technician appointed by SHARP.
If you think the oven is not working properly there are some simple checks you can carry out yourself before calling an engineer. This will help prevent unnecessary service calls if the fault is something simple. Simply answer “YES” or “NO” to the following questions: (Put half a cup of water in the oven, on the turntable and close the door. Select 100P and programme the oven to cook for 1 minute.)
1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking? YES/NO
2. Does the turntable rotate? YES/NO
3. Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing your
hand above the air vent openings) YES/NO
4. After 1 minute does the audible signal sound? YES/NO
5. 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 on page 39.
OVEN INTERIOR
Clean the microwave oven cavity after each use with a mild detergent solution on a soft cloth, pay special attention to the waveguide cover.
Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor particularly if the turntable and roller stay are removed. 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. To prevent splashing, cover food wherever possible.
TURNTABLE & SUPPORT
Leave to cool before cleaning to prevent them from breaking.
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.
• 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 waveguide cover clean at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity, 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
R-254M O/M + CkBk 13/3/01 11:13 am Page 38
39
TROUBLESHOOTING
TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG
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 close 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 the potatoes have been pierced, stand directly onto the turntable or 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 hot to the touch - keep children away.
Outer cabinet is hot.
PROBLEM
Draught circulates around 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.
Condensation forms in the oven, and may drip from the door.
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 described below: 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.
green and yellow stripes = EARTH blue = NEUTRAL brown = LIVE
• The green and yellow wire to the plug terminal marked E or or coloured green or coloured green and yellow.
• The blue wire to the plug terminal marked N or coloured black or coloured blue.
• The brown wire to the plug terminal marked L or coloured red or coloured brown.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT YOUR ELECTRICAL SUPPLY ASK A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
STANDARD TIME
40 MINUTES
NOTE:
If you cook food for more than the standard time (see chart opposite) using 100P (800W), the oven’s safety mechanisms will automatically activate. The microwave power level will be reduced.
COOKING MODE
