HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS

Microwaves are energy waves, similar to those used for TV and radio signals.

Electrical energy is converted into microwave energy, which is directed into the oven cavity via a waveguide. To prevent food and grease entering the wave guide it is protected by the waveguide cover.

Microwaves cannot pass through metal, because of this the oven cavity is made of metal and there is a fine metal mesh on the door. During cooking the microwaves bounce off the sides of the oven cavity at random.

The heating category (a letter A to E) developed by MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food) with microwave oven and food manufacturers indicates the ability of the oven to heat small quantities of food (up to 500g [1lb 2oz]). It does not represent the general performance of the oven.

Food packs carry cooking instructions for heating categories A to E. Follow instructions for the letter corresponding to the oven’s heating category. The higher the output power and heating category of the oven the less heating time is required as shown opposite.

Microwaves will pass through certain materials, such as glass and plastic, to heat the food. (See ‘Suitable Cookware’ on page 27).

Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves which cause 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 the food are heated by the microwave energy, then the heat moves to the centre by conduction, as it does in conventional cooking. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating.

Once cooking is complete, the oven automatically stops producing microwaves.

Standing time is necessary after cooking, as it enables the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.

BEFORE OPERATION

Your oven-comes pre-set in Energy Save Mode (see page 8 for details).

To operate the oven in Energy Save Mode:

1. Plug in the oven. Nothing will appear on the display at this time.

2. Open the door.

The display will flash:

3. Close the door. The display will show:

NOTES: In Energy Save Mode, if you do not operate the oven for 3 minutes or more (i.e. after

closing the door, pressing the STOP/CLEAR key, or at the end of cooking), you will not be able to operate the oven until you open and close the oven door.

When new, the very first time the grills are used, smoke and odour will be given off.

To avoid this happening when food is being cooked, heat the grills without food for approx. 20 minutes. (Please refer to note on page 12.)

CONVECTION COOKING

Your oven can be programmed to cook with ten different temperatures by combining the top and bottom grills with the convection fan. (Please refer to the notes below.)

The temperatures available in ºC are:

250ºC, 230ºC, 220ºC, 200ºC, 180ºC,

160ºC, 130ºC, 100ºC, 70ºC, 40ºC.

• Convection cooking is ideal for roasting and baking.

• When using the CONVECTION key, all metal cookware can be used. (See ‘Suitable Cookware’ on page 27).

NOTES:

• Follow convection times and procedures in the charts and recipes in the cookbook section.

• Food manufacturers instructions are only a guideline, so cooking times may need to be adjusted.

• Pressing the CONV. (ºC) key during cooking will display the programmed temperature. This will not affect the programme or cooking time.

• Temperature measurements taken whilst the oven is in convection mode will differ from the displayed level. This is due to the grill elements turning on and off in order to regulate the oven temperature. This will not affect the cooking results as long as the operation manual and cookbook are followed correctly.

• After cooking is complete the cooling fan will continue working for a short time to lower the temperature of the electrical and mechanical parts. The display may show “NOW COOLING”.

• Heat generated by the oven during convection cooking may cause the backplate of the oven to discolour. This is completely normal and will not affect the performance of the oven.

• This oven is not suitable for baking Yorkshire Puddings.

MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE

Microwaves cook food faster than conventional cooking. It is therefore essential that certain techniques are followed to ensure good results.

COOKING ADVICE NOTES:

• Always attend the oven when in use.

• Ensure that the utensils are suitable for

use in a microwave oven. (See ‘Suitable Cookware’ on page 27).

• Refer to the charts in the cookbook section for recommended cooking times and power levels.

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

WARNING:

Follow instructions in the SHARP operation manual at all times. If you exceed recommended cooking times and use power levels that are too high, food may overheat, burn and, in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.

Cooking Techniques

Arrange

Place the thickest parts of food towards the outside of the dish. e.g. Chicken drumsticks. Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will receive more energy, so cook quicker, than those in the centre.

Many of the following techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking.

• Liquids and foods must not be heated in sealed containers or jars/containers with lids on, as pressure will build up inside and may cause the container/ jar to explode.

• Only use microwave popcorn within the recommended packaging (follow the manufacturers instructions). Never use oil unless specified by the manufacturer and never cook for longer than instructed.

Cover

Pierce

Stir, turn and rearrange

Stand

Certain foods benefit from being covered during microwave cooking, follow recommendations where given. Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.

Foods with a shell, skin or membrane must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating as steam will build up and may cause food to explode. e.g. Potatoes, Fish, Chicken, Sausages.

NOTE: Eggs in their shells and hard / soft boiled eggs should not be

heated in the microwave oven as they may explode, even after cooking has ended.

For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.

Standing time is necessary after cooking so it enables the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.

MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE

Food Characteristics

Composition

Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire. Bones in food conduct heat, making the food cook more quickly. Care must be taken so that the food is cooked evenly.

Density

Quantity

Size

Shape

Temperature of food

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.

Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed. Light porous foods, such as cakes or bread, cook more quickly than heavy, dense foods, such as roasts and casseroles.

The number of microwaves in your oven remains the same regardless of how much food is being cooked. The cooking time must be increased as the amount of food placed in the oven increases. e.g. Four potatoes will take longer to cook than two.

Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as microwaves can penetrate from all sides to the centre. For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.

Foods which are irregular in shape, such as chicken breasts or drumsticks, take longer to cook in the thicker parts. For even cooking, place the thickest parts to the outside of the dish where they will receive more energy. Round shapes cook more evenly than square shapes when microwave cooking.

The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed. Chilled foods will take longer to cook than food at room temperature. e.g. a cake made with chilled ingredients, (i.e. margarine) will take longer to cook than a cake made with ingredients 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.

Check the temperature of food and drink and stir before serving. Take special care when serving to 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.

SUITABLE COOKWARE

To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.

DEFROSTING ADVICE

Defrosting food using your microwave oven is the quickest method of all.

Rearrange

Separate

Shield

Stand

Turn over

Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during defrosting. Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange over-lapping areas. This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.

Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important to separate foods as soon as it is possible during defrosting. e.g. bacon rashers, chicken fillets.

Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. To prevent them becoming warmer and starting to cook, these areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves, e.g. legs and wings on a chicken.

Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted. Defrosting is not complete once the food is removed from the microwave oven. Food must stand, covered, for a length of time to ensure the centre has completely defrosted.

It is essential that all foods are turned over least 3 - 4 times during defrosting. This is important to ensure thorough defrosting.

It is a simple proccess but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted.

NOTES:

• Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting.

• To defrost food, use microwave power levels 30% or 10%.

• Please refer to the defrosting chart on page 35 for further information.

REHEATING ADVICE

For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Plated meals

Sliced meat

Poultry portions

Casseroles

To achieve the best results when reheating, select a suitable microwave power level appropriate to the type of food. e.g. A bowl of vegetables can be reheated using 100%, while a lasagne which contains ingredients that cannot be stirred, should be reheated using 50%.

NOTES:

• 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.

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. NOTE: Ensure the food 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 the meat is thoroughly reheated before

serving.

Place thickest parts of the portions to the outside of the dish, cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 70%. Turn over halfway through reheating. NOTE: Ensure the poultry is thoroughly reheated

before serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid and reheat on 50%. Stir frequently to ensure even reheating. NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before

serving.

Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.

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

• Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire.

• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturer’s instructions

on the can.

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.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

OVEN INTERIOR

• It is important to clean the interior of your microwave oven after each use.

• To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.

• Heat up your oven regularly by using the

grills, refer to NOTE on page 12. Remaining

food or fat splashed can cause smoke or bad

smell.

• Food and liquid splashes will build-up on the oven walls and ceiling. If grease, fat and food debris is allowed to build-up in the oven interior it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

• Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. The waveguide cover is constructed from a fragile material and should be cleaned with care (follow the cleaning instructions above). NOTE: Excessive soaking may cause disintegration of the waveguide cover. The waveguide cover is a consumable part and without regular cleaning, will need to be replaced.

• Food will release steam during cooking and cause condensation inside the oven and door. It is important to wipe the oven dry. A buildup of condensation will eventually lead to rust forming on the oven interior.

•

Do not allow grease or dirt to build-up on the door seals or areas around the door. This may prevent the door from closing correctly and may cause a leakage of microwaves (follow the cleaning instructions opposite).

• Ensure the accessories are cleaned after every use with a mild washing-up liquid solution and dried. This will prevent the build-up of grease and food debris. The accessories are dishwasher safe.

•

CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean

condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Cleaning tip - For easier cleaning of your oven:

Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% for 10 - 12 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.

OUTER CABINET

• Wipe the outside of the microwave oven with a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.

• The control panel must be wiped clean and dried with the door open, therefore inactivating the oven.

NOTES:

• Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.

• A steam cleaner should not be used.

• Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor.

Excess water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior.

• Slight tarnishing of the oven cavity, around the area of the grills, is likely to occur. This is normal and will not affect the ovens performance.

WARNING:

Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet, accessories and especially the grills are completely cool.

DOOR

• To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a soft, damp cloth.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

Follow this simple check below: Place half a cup of water on the turntable and

close the door. Programme the oven to cook for 1 minute using 100% microwave power.

1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking?

2. Does the turntable rotate?

3. Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing your hand above the air vent openings.)

4. After 1 minute does the audible signal sound?

5. Is the water in the cup hot?

Take the cup of water out of the oven and close the door. Programme the oven to cook for 3 minutes using the top and bottom grills.

6. After 3 minutes, do both the grill heating elements become red?

Programme the oven to cook for 3 minutes using the convection on 250ºC.

7. After 3 minutes, is the oven cavity hot?

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 the following page.

NOTES:

• If you cook food for more than the standard

time (see chart opposite) using the same cooking mode, the oven’s safety mechanisms automatically activate. The microwave power level will be reduced or the grill heating elements will turn on and off.

• After manual or automatic cooking using the

Grill, Dual Cook or Convection modes, the cooling fan will switch on to cool the oven cavity. When the cooling fan works, the display may show “NOW COOLING”. To clear it, press the STOP/CLEAR key and the display will return to the time of day, if set. During these modes, the cooling fan will carry on working after you have pressed the

STOP/CLEAR key. You may feel hot air

blowing out of the air-vent openings.

WARNING: Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a SHARP trained engineer to carry out servicing or repairs. This is important as it may involve the removal of covers that provide protection against 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 and Modifications: Do not attempt to operate the oven if it is not working properly.

• Outer Cabinet & Lamp Access: Never remove the outer cabinet. This is very dangerous due to high voltage parts inside which must never be touched, as this could be fatal. Your oven is not fitted with a lamp access cover. If the lamp fails, do not attempt to replace the lamp yourself, call a SHARP approved service facility.

IMPORTANT:

If the display is blank and has gone dark, even if the power plug is properly connected, the oven may be in Energy Save Mode. To cancel it, open and then close the oven door, see page 8.

QUERY

Draught circulates around the door.

Condensation forms in the oven, and may drip from the door.

Flashing or arcing from within the cavity when cooking.

Arcing potatoes.

The display is lit but the control panel will not work when pressed.

Oven cooks too slowly.

Oven makes a noise.

Outer cabinet is hot.

The display shows message for “DEMO MODE”, or the time in the display is counting down very rapidly.

ANSWER

When the 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 from the potatoes and that they have been pierced, place 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 and OFF during cooking/defrosting.

The cabinet may become warm to the touch - keep children away.

Your oven may be set in Demo Mode. To cancel Demo Mode, unplug the oven from the socket and replug.

TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG

The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as shown: Green and yellow stripes = EARTH Blue = NEUTRAL Brown = LIVE

As the colours in the mains lead of your oven may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug, connect the wires as described:

• 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.

CALLING FOR SERVICE

• If you are unable to resolve a problem using the checks covered on the last few pages, do

not attempt to service this microwave oven yourself.

• Contact the dealer or supplier from whom the oven was purchased in order to obtain service. Where this is not possible, please contact the SHARP Customer Information Centre. Telephone: 08705 274277 (office hours).

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 230-240V, 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.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED If you have any doubts about your electrical supply ask a qualified electrician.
