HEATING CATEGORY

Microwaves will pass through certain materials, such as glass and
plastic, to heat the food. (See 'Suitable Ovenware' on page GB-

16).

Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves which cause them to
vibrate. This creates heat by friction, in the same way your hands get
warm when you rub them together.

The outer areas of the food are heated by the microwave energy,
then the heat moves to the centre by conduction, as it does in
conventional cooking. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food
to ensure even heating.

Once cooking is complete, the oven automatically stops producing
microwaves.
Standing time is necessary after cooking, as it enables the heat to
disperse equally throughout the food.

Microwaves are energy waves, similar to those used for TV and radio
signals.

Electrical energy is converted into microwave energy, which is
directed into the oven cavity via a waveguide. To prevent food and
grease entering the wave guide it is protected by the waveguide
cover.

Microwaves cannot pass through metal, because of this the oven
cavity is made of metal and there is a  ne metal mesh on the door.
During cooking the microwaves bounce off the sides of the oven
cavity at random.

HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS

The heating category (a letter A to E) developed by MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture,
Fisheries and Food) with microwave oven and food manufacturers indicates the
ability of the oven to heat small quantities of food (up to 500g [ I lb 2oz]). It does
not represent the general performance of the oven.

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.

* This product ful ls the requirement of the European standard EN55011.
In conformity with this standard, this product is classi ed as group 2 class B equipment.
Group 2 means that the equipment intentionally generates radio-frequency energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation for the heat

treatment of food.
Class B equipment means that the equipment is suitable to be used in domestic establishments.
** The depth does not include the door opening handle.
*** Internal capacity is calculated by measuring maximum width, depth and height. Actual capacity for holding food is less.

ACCESSORIES:

Check to make sure the following accessories are
provided:

(14) Turntable (15) Turntable support (16) Coupling

• Place the coupling into the turntable motor shaft and then place
the turntable support in the centre of the oven floor so that it can
freely rotate around the coupling. Place the turntable onto the
turntable support so that it locates firmly into the coupling.

• To avoid turntable damage, ensure dishes and containers are
lifted clear of the turntable rim when removing them from the
oven.

NOTE: When you order accessories, please mention two items: part
name and model name to your dealer or SHARP authorised service
agent.

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 turntable support fitted correctly. This promotes thorough, even cooking. A badly fitted
turntable may rattle, may not rotate properly and could cause damage to the oven.

• All food and containers of food are always placed on the turntable for cooking.

• The turntable rotates clockwise or anti-clockwise. The rotary direction may change each time you start the oven. This does not affect
cooking performance.
