OVEN AND ACCESSORIES

ACCESSORIES:

Check to make sure the following accessories are provided:

12 Turntable 13 Turntable support 14 Coupling

Place the turntable support in the centre of the oven floor so that it can freely rotate around the coupling. Then place the turntable on to the turntable support so that it locates firmly into the coupling. To avoid turntable damage, ensure dishes and containers are lifted clear of the turntable rim when removing them from the oven. 15 High and Low racks (For use of the racks, refer to the grilling and dual grilling sections on pages 11 & 12).

NOTES:

• Always operate the oven with the turntable and support fitted correctly. 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.

• When you order accessories, please mention two details: part name and model name to your dealer or SHARP authorised service facility.

MICROWAVING

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS

Power level: The microwave power level is varied

by the microwave energy switching on and off. When using power levels other than 100% you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on and off as the food cooks or defrosts.

IMPORTANT: The microwave power level will default to 100% unless you select another power level.

Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe section. Generally the following recommendations apply:

HIGH - (100% output = 900W) used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.

MEDIUM HIGH - (70% output = 630W) used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes.

MEDIUM - (50% output = 450W) for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.

MEDIUM LOW - (30% output = 270W Defrost setting) to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.

LOW - (10% output = 90W) For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.

Water, sugar and fat in food absorbs 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. 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.

• Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving.

• See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 32-33.

GRILLING

The Grill heating element at the top of the oven cavity has one power setting only. It is efficient and economical. The efficiency of the grill is assisted by the turntable which rotates simultaneously to ensure even browning. The grill is ideal for cooking bacon, gammon steak, fish fingers and tea cakes. Use the high rack for grilling small items of food such as bacon and sausages, turn over halfway through grilling. Food can be placed directly on the rack or placed in a flan dish or on a heat-resistant plate.

When browning and crisping the surface of foods in a casserole dish, the high rack can be used if the container is shallow enough. However, it is advisable to place such containers directly on the turntable or low rack, allow a little extra time to brown or crisp as desired.

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 heater without food for approx. 20 minutes.

EXAMPLE:

To grill for 8 minutes.

SensNcook/SENSOR REHEAT

SensNcook and SENSOR REHEAT can be used for cooking/reheating a range of foods using special

sensor technology. You can choose from 9 SensNcook menus and 6 SENSOR REHEAT menus. Always refer to the SensNcook chart on pages 14-16 and the SENSOR REHEAT chart on page 17 before operating these functions.

NOTES:

1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using SensNcook/SENSOR REHEAT.

2. Once a SensNcook/SENSOR REHEAT programme has started, do not open the door or press the STOP/CLEAR key until the cooking time appears on the display, unless following instructions to stir or turn over. During this time, Sensor technology senses humidity emitted from food as it heats and determines the cooking time. Opening the door or stopping the oven disturbs the humidity content and affects the cooking result.

3. Ensure food is thoroughly heated before serving. If additional heating is required, cook this manually.

4. Wipe off any moisture from the outside of cooking containers and the interior of the oven with a dry cloth or paper towel prior to cooking on SensNcook/SENSOR REHEAT.

5. Each menu provides helpful cooking advice. To follow this advice, touch INFO on the screen whenever it is shown.

6. If you want to alter the cooking results, touch ▼ LESS or MORE ▲ before pressing the START/AUTO MINUTE key. For best results use the cooking chart instructions. See page 31 for details.

7. If food requires manipulation (i.e. turn over or stir) then open the door when the oven indicates, follow the instructions, close the door and press the START/AUTO MINUTE key.

8. To cook food weighing more or less than the weights/quantities given in the cooking charts, cook manually.

9. You can check the weight range in Lbs/oz or Kg/g. Select the desired weight unit from SET UP before programming. See page 29.

Always attend the oven closely. Look at the oven from time to time when heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

YES

Always attend the oven closely. Only use to absorb fat and moisture when warming food. Pay special attention as overheating may cause a fire in your oven.

YES

Always place on an up-turned plate on the turntable to prevent heat stress. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Be careful as these become very hot. Popcorn: Only use microwave popcorn within recommended packaging (follow popcorn manufacturer's instructions). Never use oil unless the manufacturer recommends and never cook for longer than instructed.

WARNING: Face & Hands: Always use oven gloves to remove food or cookware from the oven. 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.

For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during cooking. Where recommended, leave food to stand after cooking or defrosting.

The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed, eg. chilled food requires more cooking than food at room temperature. The temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink. Cut into foods with fillings, for example, jam doughnuts, to release heat or steam.

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 casserole.

Check the temperature of food and drink and stir before serving. Take special care when serving babies, children or the elderly. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION

ADVICE FOR COOKING

Piercing

Arrangement

Covering

Size & shape

Density &

quantity

Hygiene

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 affect 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.

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 100% 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. WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

R-793M O/M & C/B 08/06/2000 15:16 Page 34

ADVICE FOR REHEATING

WARNING: Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire.

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.

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

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 50%, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating. Ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling film or suitable lid, reheat on 50%. 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 70%. Turn over halfway through. NOTE: Ensure

poultry is thoroughly reheated, before serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 50%. 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 70% and fruit pies on 50%.

Cover with vented microwave cling film or suitable lid and reheat on 50%. Stir at least once during reheating.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

ACCESSORIES

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

OUTER CABINET

Wipe the outer 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.

WARNINGS-

TROUBLESHOOTING

• 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 pads or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of 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.

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.

After Grill, Dual, AutoCook and Express Cook modes the oven cavity, door, cabinet and accessories will become very hot. Before cleaning, ensure that they have cooled down. Slight tarnishing of the oven cavity around the area of the grill heater is likely to occur, this effect does not indicate a problem. 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.

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: (Put half a cup of water in the oven, on the turntable and close the door. Programme the oven to cook for 1 minute and select 100%.

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. (Take the cup out of the oven and close the door. Set

the grill time for 3 minutes).

At the end of 3 minutes, does the grill heating

element 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 64.

R-793M O/M & C/B 08/06/2000 15:17 Page 63

TROUBLESHOOTING

TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG

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.

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.
