IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
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. This may result in exposure to microwave energy.
• Never operate the oven with any object caught in the door sealing surfaces, this again may cause microwave leakage.
• 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 26).
• Never attempt to move the oven while it is operating.
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.
Fire: If smoke is observed, switch off and unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
Liquids: Microwave heating of beverages. can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.
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. 26)
1.Remove all packing materials including the feature sticker. Do not remove the plastic film from the inside of the oven window as this protects it from dirt.
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.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, as obstructions may ignite due to the emission of hot air.
4.Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged (See Installation next page) and that it does not run under the oven or over any hot or sharp surfaces.
5.The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
6.Do not use the oven outdoors.

INSTALLATION
19cm
BUILDING-IN-KIT.
An installation frame is available which enables the microwave oven to be integrated within a kitchen unit. The microwave oven is not designed to be built above or near a conventional oven. SHARP recommend the use of the build in kit, EBR-45ST, available from your SHARP dealer. Only the use of this frame will guarantee the quality and safety of the oven. When building, follow installation instructions supplied for A type models carefully.
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 as the plug may otherwise overheat and catch fire.
• Do not connect other appliances to the same socket using an adaptor plug as it may cause the house wiring to overheat and catch fire.
• 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. A defective plug, power supply cord or socket may overheat and catch fire during operation or cause an electrical shock.
• When removing the plug from the socket always grip the plug, never the mains lead as this may damage the power supply cord and the connections inside the plug.
• This product is fitted with a re-wireable plug. Should it not be suitable for the socket outlet in your home, remove the plug and fit an appropriate type, observing the wiring code given in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 25.
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.
Do not use the oven outdoors.
The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 19cm.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring code given in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 25.

MICROWAVING
MICRO
COOK
MICRO
%
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).

1. LESS ( ) and MORE ( )
The LESS ( ) and MORE ( ) keys allow you to cook food for more or less time than the preset programmes.
For Example: If you prefer Jacket Potatoes which are cooked but still crisp, or beef which is rare, use the LESS ( ) key. Alternatively, if you prefer Jacket Potatoes softer or beef well done, use the MORE ()
key.
Guide for using LESS ( ) and MORE ( ) with instant cook/automatic programmes:
• INSTANT COOK: Press the INSTANT COOK key then immediately press the LESS () /MORE ( ) key.
AUTO COOK/AUTO DEFROST: Press the LESS ()/MORE ( ) key before pressing the START/AUTO MINUTE key.
NOTE: To cancel LESS ( )/MORE ( ), simply press the same key again.
