• 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.

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.

Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker, consult your

doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer prior to oven 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 of liquid and possible scalding: Stir liquid prior to and during heating/reheating, let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking.

1. Remove all packing materials including the feature sticker.

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.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.

4.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.

5.The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.

6. The oven door may become hot during cooking.

Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is 85cm or more above the floor.

7.Do not use the oven outdoors.

8.The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 20cm.

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.

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

• 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.

INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)

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, EBR-4600, 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 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 on page 60.

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 - IMPORTANT NOTE

Please note both the Operation Manual and Cookery Book supplied specify 900 W (IEC 705) microwave output power. This applies only when the oven is operated on a 230-240V supply. If your supply is less than 230-240V, it may be necessary to increase the cooking time when following the Operation Manual and Cookery Book instructions.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring code on page 60.

MICROWAVING - INTRODUCTION

Opening and closing the door:

• To open oven door, press the door opening button.

• The oven lamp will light when the door is open.

• Close the door firmly and the lamp will go out.

MICROWAVE COOKING:

EXAMPLE:

To cook on HIGH (100%) power for 30 seconds.

Always operate the oven with the turntable and support fitted correctly, see page 2. This promotes thorough even cooking.

• A badly fitted turntable may rattle, may not rotate properly and damage the oven.

• The turntable rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise. The rotary direction may change each time you start the oven. This does not affect cooking performance.

NOTES:

• Your oven can be programmed for up to 99 minutes, 90 seconds (99.90).

• When the door is opened during cooking, the cooking time on the display stops. The cooking time starts to count down again when the door is closed and the START/AUTO MINUTE key is pressed.

• When oven operation is finished, the time of day will reappear on the display, if set.

1. To enter the cooking time, press the 10 SEC key 3 times until .30 is displayed.

2. Press the

MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL key

once for HIGH (100%).

3. Press the

START/AUTO MINUTE key once to

start cooking.

Display will count down through heating time.

Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves and causes their molecules to vibrate. This creates heat by friction, in the same way your hands get warm when you rub them together. The outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy and the remaining portions by conduction. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating. Where recommended, allow food to stand, this is not optional but is necessary to ensure thorough cooking. It is particularly important for dense food, such as joints of meat.

NOTES:

• 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.

• Place convenience food in a flan dish on the rack.

• Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving.

• See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 25-26.
