INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 the door or door seals are damaged,
the oven must not be operated until it
has been repaired by a competent
person.
1.Remove all packing materials. Do not remove the
plastic film from the inside of the oven window as this
protects it from dirt.
2.Place the 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. Do not place
items on top of the oven.
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.
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.
• 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.
Do not allow anyone to play with the oven, or lean
or swing on the oven door.
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 of liquid and
possible scalding: Stir liquid prior to and
during heating/reheating, let liquid stand
in the oven at the end of cooking.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

INSTALLATION
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 (for B type) supplied 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.
• The 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 41.
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.

Introduction:
Water, sugar and fat in food absorbs microwaves
and 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.
(See suitable cookware, page 19-20).

DEFROSTING
To defrost foods not included in the Auto Defrost menu, use
microwave power levels 30P (MEDIUM LOW) or 10P (LOW). Stir
or turn food at least 2-3 times during defrosting.
After defrosting, cover food or wrap in aluminium foil and leave to
stand until thoroughly defrosted. Refer to the defrosting chart in the
cookbook section on page 25.
The grill at the top of the oven cavity has one power setting. Assisted by the turntable which rotates to ensure
even browning, the grill is both economical and ideal for cooking bacon, gammon steaks, fish fingers and tea
cakes or for making cheese on toast. It is also ideal for browning and crisping food which has been
microwaved.

DUAL GRILLING
The DUAL GRILL feature enables a combination of
any one of four microwave power levels with the grill,
10P (LOW), 30P (MEDIUM LOW), 50P (MEDIUM)
and 70P (MEDIUM HIGH).The combination of
microwaves with the grill reduces cooking time and

WARNING - Always attend the oven when in use.
Carefully follow the SHARP Operation Manual at all times. If you exceed
recommended cooking times and/or use power levels that are too high, food may
overheat, burn, and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.
The microwave power level will default to 100P (HIGH) unless you press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL key
to reach the desired setting. Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, for example, Christmas
pudding, mince pies and fruit cakes. Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave
ovens.
Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before you use them in the oven. If you do not,
steam and pressure will build up inside and the container may explode.
Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable.
• Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are
liable to explode.

Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding, or
mince pies) requires less heating time and should be
watched, over-heating can lead to fire.
Good quality ingredients should be used for
microwaving. Economical cuts of meat are
recommended for casseroles.
Food with skin (such as potatoes, apples, fish,
chicken), or with membrane (such as the
white and yolk of eggs, including boiled
eggs), must be pierced in several places
before cooking or reheating. If not, steam will
build up and may cause food to explode.
Note: Eggs in their shells and whole hard
boiled eggs should not be heated in the
microwave ovens since they may explode
even after microwaving has ended.
Place thickest parts of food on the outside of the dish,
for example, the meaty ends of chicken drumsticks
should be placed on the outside of the dish.
Fish, vegetables and certain other foods benefit from
being covered during microwave cookery, follow
recommendations where given and use vented
microwave cling film or a suitable lid.
Food size and shape affects the amount of cooking time
needed. When cooking more than one portion of the
same food ensure they are of a similar size and shape.
Food density and quantity affect the amount of
cooking time needed, for example, potatoes require
more cooking than peas; four potatoes will take
longer to cook than two.
Food hygiene standards (storage, handling and
preparation) apply to microwaving. Always store
convenience foods as recommended by the food
manufacturer and keep no longer than the "Use
By" date.

ADVICE FOR REHEATING
Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat
these separately, see below. Place smaller items of
food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods
to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling film
and reheat on 50P (MEDIUM), stir/rearrange halfway
through reheating. Ensure food is thoroughly reheated
before serving.
Cover with vented microwave cling film or suitable lid,
reheat on 50P (MEDIUM). Stir frequently to ensure
even reheating.
Place thickest parts of the portions on the outside of the
dish, cover with microwave cling film and reheat on
70P (MEDIUM HIGH). Turn over halfway through.
NOTE: Ensure poultry is thoroughly reheated, before
serving.
Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on
50P (MEDIUM). Rearrange at least once to ensure
even reheating. NOTE: Ensure meat is thoroughly
reheated before serving.
Place pies in a flan dish. Reheat meat pies on
70P (MEDIUM HIGH) and fruit pies on
50P (MEDIUM).
Cover with vented microwave cling film or suitable lid
and reheat on 50P (MEDIUM). Stir at least once
during reheating.

WARNINGS:
Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. Stand back
when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as
cling film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.
Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the
contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.
• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.
• Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together
with the size, shape and material of the container.
• To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high
sugar or fat content, for example, Mince pies or Christmas pudding.

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.
OUTER CABINET
Wipe the outside 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.
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,select 100P (HIGH) and press START/ AUTO
MINUTE.)
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. Press the 1 MINUTE key 3 times, then START/
AUTO MINUTE
At the end of 3 minutes, does the grill heater
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 41.
• 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 keys or abrasive
scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.
WARNINGS-
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.
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.
To prevent splashing, cover food wherever possible.
TURNTABLE & SUPPORT
Leave to cool before cleaning to prevent them from
breaking.

TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE CAUSE
When oven is working, air circulates within the cavity. The door does not form an
airtight seal so air may escape from the door.
The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so steam
produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface. The amount of steam
produced depends on the water content of the food being cooked. Some foods,
such as potatoes have a high moisture content. Condensation trapped in the door
glass should clear after a few hours.
Arcing will occur when a metallic object comes into close proximity to the oven cavity
during cooking. This may possibly roughen the surface of the cavity, but would not
otherwise damage the oven.
Ensure all “eyes” are removed and stand directly onto the turntable or in a heat
resistant flan dish or similar.
Check the door is closed properly.
Ensure correct power level has been selected.
The microwave energy pulses ON/OFF during cooking/defrosting.
The cabinet may become warm to the touch - keep children away.
Outer cabinet is hot.
PROBLEM
Draught circulates around
the door.
Flashing or arcing from
within the cavity when
cooking.
Arcing potatoes.
After setting the time, the
oven does not start.
Oven cooks too slowly.
Oven makes a noise.
Condensation forms in the
oven, and may drip from
the door.
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.
