CLEANINGAND MAINTENANCE

OVEN INTERIOR

Clean the microwave oven cavity after each use with a mild detergent solution on a soft cloth, pay special attention to the waveguide cover.

After Grill, Dual, AutoCook and Express Cook modes the oven cavity, door, cabinet and accessories will become very hot. Before cleaning, ensure that they have cooled down.

Slight tarnishing of the oven cavity around the area of the grill heater is likely to occur, this effect does not indicate a problem.

Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor particularly if the turntable and roller stay are removed. Excess water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior. It is important that the door seals and sealing surfaces are kept clean at all times, wipe regularly with a damp cloth.

ACCESSORIES

Accessories should be washed in a mild washing-up liquid solution and dried. They are dishwasher safe.

OUTER CABINET

Wipe the outer cabinet with a mild detergent solution on a soft cloth. The control panel must be wiped clean whilst the door is open, therefore inactivating the oven.

WARNINGS-

•Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts as this may prevent the door from closing correctly and may cause a leakage of microwaves. To clean use a mild detergent solution on a soft damp cloth.

•Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity, it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

•Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you think the oven is not working properly there are some simple checks you can carry out yourself before calling an engineer. This will help prevent unnecessary service calls if the fault is something simple.

Simply answer “YES” or “NO” to the following questions: (Put half a cup of water in the oven, on the turntable and close the door. Programme the oven to cook for 1 minute and select 100P.)

1.	Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking?
		YES/NO
2.	Does the turntable rotate?	YES/NO
3.	Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing your
	hand above the air vent openings)	YES/NO
4.	After 1 minute does the "beep" sound?	YES/NO
5.	Is the water in the cup hot?	YES/NO

6.(Take the cup out of the oven and close the door. Set the grill time for 3 minutes).

At the end of 3 minutes, does the grill heating element become hot? YES/NO

If you answer “NO” to any question first check that the oven is plugged in properly and the fuse has not blown, if there is no fault with either, check against the troubleshooting chart on page 43.

WARNINGS:

•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.

•The door seal stops microwave leakage during oven operation, but does not form an airtight seal. It is normal to see drops of water, light or feel warm air around the oven door. Food with a high moisture content will release steam and cause condensation inside the door which may drip from the oven.

•Repairs & Modifications: Do not attempt to operate the oven if it is not working properly.

•Outer Cabinet & Lamp Access: Never remove the outer cabinet. This would be very dangerous due to high voltage parts inside which must never be touched, as this could be fatal. As your oven is not fitted with a lamp access cover, if the lamp fails, do not attempt to replace the lamp yourself, call a Service Technician appointed by SHARP.

TROUBLESHOOTING

NOTE:

If you cook food for more than the standard time (see chart opposite) on the same cooking mode, the oven’s safety mechanisms will automatically activate. The microwave power level will be reduced or the grill heating elements will turn on and off.

TOREPLACETHE MAINS PLUG

The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as shown opposite:

As the colours of the cores in the mains lead of your oven may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug, connect the wires as shown:

Make sure the terminal screws are tight and the cable is held securely by the cable grip where it enters the plug. Like most appliances in your home, your oven must be connected to a single phase 230-240 Volt, 50Hz alternating current supply.

If you do not make the proper electrical connections you might damage the oven or injure yourself. Neither SHARP nor the supplier will be liable if this happens.
