IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Oven Use:

•This 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 defect 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.

Childcare: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instuctions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker, consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer prior to oven use.

INSTALLATION

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.

WARNING:

If the door or seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.

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.

WARNING:

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.

1.Remove all packing materials and the feature label, (if attached). 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.The oven door becomes hot during cooking. To prevent burning, the oven should be placed at least 85cm or more above the floor.

8.Do not use the oven outdoors.

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, do not operate the oven, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or their service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. 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 55.

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.

WARNING

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

HOWTOOPERATETHE OVEN

MICROWAVING

Introduction: Water, sugar and fat in food are absorbed by the 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. (Refer to suitable cookware page 21-22)

GETTING STARTED:

Getting started in three simple steps:

10min. 1min. 10sec. . Press the TIME keys to enter the

cooking time.

2. Select power level.

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 charts in the cookbook section of this manual.

GRILLING

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.

It is not necessary to preheat the grill. Follow recommended grilling times and procedures in the cookbook section of this manual.

NOTE:

When first using the grill heater, smoke and odour will be given off. To avoid this happening when food is being cooked, heat the grill heating element without food for approximately 20 minutes.

GETTING STARTED: Getting started in three simple steps:

10min. 1min. 10sec. . Press the TIME keys to enter

grilling time.

DUALGRILLING

DUAL GRILL combines the power of the microwave with the grill. The DUAL GRILL default setting combines the GRILL with 30P ( MEDIUM LOW) microwave power. Please note that microwave level 100P (HIGH) cannot be set for DUAL GRILL.

The combination of microwaves with the grill reduces cooking time and provides a crisp, brown finish giving you the convenience of fast cooking with a traditional appetising appearance.

Use the high rack for dual grilling small items such as toast, bacon or steak, turn over halfway through cooking. Food can be placed directly on the rack, on a heat-resistant plate or in a flan dish.

When browning or crisping foods in a casserole dish, use the high rack if the container is shallow enough. However, it is advisable to place such containers directly onto the turntable or low rack - allow a little extra time to brown and crisp.

Example:

To cook 450g (1lb) boneless pork chops using dual grill, 70P (MEDIUM HIGH) microwave power for 11

minutes.

Place the chops on the high rack.
