• 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.

COOKING ADVICE / SUITABLE COOKWARE

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 HIGH (100%) unless you press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button to reach the desired setting. Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, e.g, Christmas pudding, mince pies and fruit cakes. Before use, check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

• Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before using them in the oven. If you do not, steam and

pressure will build up inside and the container may explode. Take care when heating contents in babies bottles, see page 26 & 29.

• Eggs in their shells and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they explode even after microwave heating has ended. Do not heat canned potatoes in the microwave oven as they may burst.

• Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable.

Hygiene

Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding, mince pies) requires less heating time and should be watched, over-heating can lead to fire. Use good quality ingredients for microwaving. Economical cuts of meat can be used for casseroles.

Food with skin (e.g. potatoes, apples, fish, sausages, chicken), or with membrane (e.g egg whites/yolks), must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating. If not, steam will build up and may cause food to explode. When cooking eggs using “the Breakfast button”, it is not necessary to pierce the yolks, as the programme uses grill only.

Place thickest parts of food on the outside of the dish, e.g. place meaty ends of chicken drumsticks 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

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.

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

• To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example, mince pies, Christmas pudding.

• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturers’ instructions on the can.

CLEANING & 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.

NOTE: When cleaning oven please ensure that

bottom grill is cool.

Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor particularly if the turntable is 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. Heat up your oven regularly by using both heating elements, refer to NOTES on page 10. Remaining food or fat splashed on the oven interior can cause smoke or a bad smell. To prevent splashing, cover food wherever possible.

• 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. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

• Never use spray cleaners, oven buttons or

abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.

• After Grill, Dual Grill, Oven, Pizza, Breakfast,

Instant Cook and Auto Cook modes, the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet and accessories will become very hot. Before cleaning, make sure they have cooled down.

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.

• 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.

ACCESSORIES

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

TURNTABLE

Ensure the turntable is cleaned after every use with a mild washing-up liquid solution and dried. The turntable is dishwasher safe. This should prevent a build up of grease and food debris.

WARNINGS-

TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

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:

1. Does the oven lamp come on when you open the door? YES/NO

(Put half a cup of water in the oven, on the turntable and close the door. Select 100% HIGH

and programme the oven to cook for 1 minute.)

2. Does the oven lamp come on? YES/NO

3. Does the turntable rotate? YES/NO

4. Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing

your hand above the air-vent openings) YES/NO

5. After 1 minute does the "beep" sound? YES/NO

6. Is the water in the cup hot? YES/NO

7. Set the grilling time for the upper and lower grill

for 3 minutes. At the end of 3 minutes do both the grill elements become red? 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 the troubleshooting chart on page 60.

NOTES:

The following cooking conditions should not cause concern:

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

2. After Grill, Dual Grill, Pizza, Breakfast, Instant Cook and Auto Cook modes, the cooling fan will switch on for at least 5 minutes.

3. During Grill, Dual Grill, Pizza, Breakfast, Instant Cook and Auto Cook modes, the cooling fan will also work when you press STOP/CLEAR. You may feel air blowing out of the air-vent openings. After operation of the cooling fan, the display will show “0.”, if the clock is not set. If the clock is set, it will show the time of day. To clear it, press the STOP/CLEAR key and the display will show the time of day, if set.

R-772M OPE MAN 28/6/99 10:19 am Page 59

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONTINUED)

POSSIBLE CAUSE

When oven is working, air circulates within the cavity. The door does not form an airtight seal, so it is normal for air to 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 hot to the touch - keep children away.

Outer cabinet/door 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 opposite. 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.

green and yellow stripes = EARTH blue = NEUTRAL brown = LIVE

• The green and yellow wire to the plug terminal marked E or or coloured green or coloured green and yellow.

• The blue wire to the plug terminal marked N or coloured black or coloured blue.

• The brown wire to the plug terminal marked L or coloured red or coloured brown.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS ABOUT YOUR ELECTRICAL SUPPLY ASK A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
