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 tamper with or bypass 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 28).
• 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 food overheats, starts to smoke
or burn: Keep oven door closed; Turn
oven off; Switch off the power at the
socket and disconnect the plug from the
socket. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in fire and oven damage.
Liquids: Take care when microwaving
liquids and beverages. To prevent
delayed eruptive boiling and possible
scalding: Stir liquid prior to and during
heating/reheating, let liquid stand in the
oven at the end of cooking.
Do not allow anyone to play with the oven, or
lean or swing on the oven door.
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.
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.Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the
oven of 19cm.
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, as obstructions may
ignite due to the emission of hot air.
5.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.
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.
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, EBR4500, 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.
INSTALLATION
• 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 27.
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.
• 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.
WARNING
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring code
given in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 27.

Introduction:
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb in 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.
HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN
Opening and closing the door:
To open the oven door, press the door opening button. The
oven lamp will come on while the door is open. Close the
door firmly and the oven lamp will go out.
Stopping the oven:
If you wish to stop the oven during cooking press
STOP/CLEAR or open the oven door. To start the oven,
close the door and press START/AUTO MINUTE. If you
wish to cancel the cooking programme, press STOP/CLEAR
twice.
Prepare and place food in a suitable container onto the
turntable or directly onto the turntable. Close the door.
