WARNING:
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.

• Ensure the door seal and sealing
surfaces are not damaged.

• Inspect the oven interior and door for
dents.
IMPORTANT:
If any damage is apparent, do not
operate the oven in any way, until it
has been repaired by a SHARP trained
engineer.

1. Remove all packing materials including the
feature sticker (if applicable). Do not remove
the plastic film from the inside of the oven
window as this protects it from dirt. The
waveguide cover prevents food and grease
from entering the waveguide area where it
could cause damage. DO NOT REMOVE THE
WAVEGUIDE COVER.

2. The oven door will become hot during cooking.
Place oven on a secure, level surface so that the
bottom of the oven is 85cm or more above the
floor. Ensure it is strong enough to take the
oven weight, plus the heaviest item likely to be
cooked in the oven.

3. The minimum height of
free space necessary
above the top surface of
the oven is 9cm.

4. 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.
Do not place objects on top of the oven.

5. Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged
(See “ELECTRICAL CONNECTION” opposite).

Do not allow the power supply cord to
run over any hot or sharp surfaces,
such as the hot air vent area at the top
rear of the oven.

9 cm

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

7. Do not use the oven outdoors.

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-
90GKST, available from your SHARP dealer.
Only the use of this frame will guarantee the
quality and safety of the oven.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.

• Do not allow water to come into contact with the

power supply cord or plug.

• Insert the plug properly into the socket.

• Do not connect other appliances to the same

socket using an adaptor plug.

• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by a SHARP approved service facility
or a similarly qualified person to avoid a
hazard.

• When removing the plug from the socket always

grip the plug, never the cord as this may
damage the power supply cord and the
connections inside the plug.

• If the plug fitted to your oven is a rewireable

type and in the event of the socket outlet in your
home not being compatible with the plug
supplied, remove the plug properly (do not cut
off).

• If the plug fitted to your oven is a non-rewirable

type and in the event of the socket outlet in your
home not being compatible with the plug
supplied, cut-off the mains plug.

• Refit with a suitable type, observing the wiring

code given in `To replace the mains plug’ on
page 38.

HEATING CATEGORY

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.

the oven the less heating time is required as shown
opposite.

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.

Microwaves will pass through certain materials,
such as glass and plastic, to heat the food.
(See “Suitable Cookware” on page 32).

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.

MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE

TINSEA962WRRZ-K32 UK R90GCK

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

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

Arrange

Cover

Pierce

Stir, turn and
rearrange

Stand

Cooking Techniques

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.

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 should not be heated using microwave power as they

may explode, even after cooking has ended.
e.g poached, fried, hard-boiled.

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 as it enables the heat to disperse equally
throughout the food.

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 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 32).

• 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.

• 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.

• For dense food such as convenience meals and
meatloaf, it is recommended to place on the low
rack. The rack is safe to use with microwave power.

WARNING:
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.

UK R90GCK English P30-BackCover 04.1.9 9:08 AM Page 30

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.

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

Food Characteristics

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.

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.

SUITABLE COOKWARE

TINSEA962WRRZ-K32 UK R90GCK

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.

Round/oval dishes are preferable to
square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners
tends to overcook. A variety of cookware can be
used as listed below.

Foil Containers

Browning dishes

China and
ceramics

Comments

Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield
food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the
oven walls, as arcing may occur.
Foil containers are not recommended unless specified
by the manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil ®, follow
instructions carefully.

Always follow the manufacturers instructions. Do not
exceed heating times given. Be very careful as these
dishes become very hot.

Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone
china are usually suitable, except for those with
metallic decoration.

Care should be taken if using fine glassware as it
can break or crack if heated suddenly.

It is not recommended to use metal cookware when
using microwave power as it will arc, which can
lead to fire.

Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or
discolour at high temperatures.

Should not touch the food and must be pierced to let
the steam escape.

Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are
suitable for microwave or convection use. Do not use
plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or catch fire due
to the metal arcing.

Only use for warming or to absorb moisture.
Care must be taken as overheating may cause fire.

Always attend the oven when using these materials
as overheating may cause fire.

May contain extracts of metal which will cause
‘arcing’ and may lead to fire.

The metal racks supplied have been specially
designed for all cooking modes and will not damage
the oven.

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

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%.

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 over­lapping 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 up to 4 times during defrosting. This is
important to ensure thorough defrosting.

REHEATING ADVICE

TINSEA962WRRZ-K32 UK R90GCK

Plated meals

Sliced meat

Poultry
portions

Casseroles

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.

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

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.

• 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.

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%.

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

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.

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.

• To assist with cleaning the oven interior, use the
Refresh Cycle. (Refer to page 29).

• 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 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 build-up 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 cleaning
instructions opposite).

• Ensure the turntable and 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 turntable and accessories are dishwasher
safe.

SPECIAL NOTE for TURNTABLE SUPPORT:

After cooking, always clean the turntable support,
especially around the rollers. These must be free
from food splashes and grease. Built-up splashes or
grease may overheat and cause arcing, which may
begin to smoke or catch fire.

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.

• 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. Never use a steam
cleaner.

• Failure to maintain your oven in a clean condition could adversely affect the life of the oven and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.

WARNING:
The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, turntable, accessories and dishes will become very
hot during operation. Before cleaning, ensure they have cooled down.

TROUBLESHOOTING

TINSEA962WRRZ-K32 UK R90GCK

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 convection on 180

°C.

6. 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 for a long time with only the same

cooking mode, the oven will lower the power
automatically to avoid overheating.
Check food is piping hot after cooking. If
necessary, you can extend the cooking time.

• After manual or automatic cooking using the

Speed 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.

• Your oven has a voltage check function. If the

voltage rises above 10% or falls below 10% of
the required 240 volts, the cooking results would
not be acceptable; therefore the oven will stop,
display an error message and interrupt the
cooking programme. Press the STOP key and
complete the cooking manually. It is imperative
that the power to the oven be checked to ensure
that a 240 volt circuit is serving the oven.

• 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.

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.

UK R90GCK English P30-BackCover 04.1.9 9:08 AM Page 36

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 and the potatoes 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.

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.
