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.

MICROWAVING-INTRODUCTION

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.

HOW TO OPERATE THEOVEN

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.

•To convert recipes normally cooked using a convection oven:

•use the OVEN facility.

•decrease cooking temperature by approx. 50 - 60°C.

This is necessary due to the additional heat generated during dual operation of the upper and lower grills.

If food is not cooked within the normal cooking time, add an extra 5mins then check again. Repeat this until food is cooked.

EXAMPLE:

–Convection cooking: Apple Pie 220°C for 20 minutes.
