INSTALLATION

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.

Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker, consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer prior to oven use.
Warning: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.
Oven Use:
• The oven is for domestic food preparation only.
• Never operate when empty.
• Do not leave or store anything inside the oven when
not in use.
• Never attempt to use the oven with the door open. It is important not to force or tamper with the door safety latches.
• Never operate the oven with any object caught in the door.
• Do not insert fingers or objects in the holes of the door latches or air-vent openings as this may damage the oven and cause an electric shock.
• If water or food drops inside the air vent openings switch off the oven immediately, unplug it and call a Service Technician appointed by SHARP. (See page 40).
• Never move the oven while it is operating.
Fire: If smoke is observed, switch off and unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

Food packs carry cooking instructions for heating categories A to E. Follow instructions for the letter corresponding to the oven’s heating category. The higher the output power and heating category of the oven the less heating time is required. As shown opposite.
Liquids: Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container. Stir the liquid prior to and during heating/reheating, let liquid stand in the oven after cooking.

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.
