*This Product fulfils the requirement of the European standard EN55011.
In conformity with this standard, this product is classified 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.
**Internal capacity is calculated by measuring maximum width, depth and height. Actual capacity for holding food is less.
AS PART OF A POLICY OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER DESIGN AND
SPECIFICATIONS WITHOUT NOTICE.

More heating time required
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 opposit
HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS
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 fine metal mesh on the door. During cooking the microwaves bounce off the sides of the oven cavity at random.
Microwaves will pass through certain materials, such as glass and plastic, to heat the food. (See' Suitable Cookware' 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.

NOTES:
ACCESSORIES:
Check to make sure the following accessories are provided:
(15) Turntable (16) Turntable support (17) Coupling Place the turntable support in the centre of the oven floor so that it can freely rotate around the coupling. Then place the turntable on to 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.
•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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
To avoid the danger of fire.
The microwave oven should not be left unattended during operation. Power levels that are too high, or cooking times that are too long, may overheat foods resulting in a fire.
This oven is designed to be used on a countertop only. It is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit. Do not place the oven in a cabinet.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency. The AC power supply must be 230-240V, 50Hz, with a minimum 10A distribution line fuse, or a minimum 10A distribution circuit breaker.
A separate circuit serving only this appliance should be provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is generated. For example, close to a conventional oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity or where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
Use only microwave-safe containers and utensils. See Page GB-16. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the turntable and roller stay after use. These must be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or ventilation openings.
Do not block the ventilation openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, use only special microwave popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven. Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure the oven is operating as desired.
To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when cooking or reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example, Sausage rolls, Pies or Christmas pudding.
See the corresponding hints in operation manual.
To avoid the possibility of injury
WARNING:
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the following before use:
a)The door; make sure the door closes properly and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.
b)The hinges and safety door latches; check to make sure they are not broken or loose.
c)The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that they have not been damaged.
d)Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure there are no dents.
e)The power supply cord and plug; ensure that
they are not damaged.
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
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.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. Follow the instructions for “Care and Cleaning” on page GB-17. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock
Under no circumstances should you remove the outer cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately, and call an authorised SHARP service agent.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Do not let the power supply cord hang over the edge of a table or work surface.
