ACCESSORIES:
Check to make sure the following accessories
are supplied:
13 Turntable 14 Turntable support 15 Low rack
16 High rack 17 Splash guard
• Place the turntable support into the coupling in the centre of
the oven floor, ensuring it is located firmly. It should be able
to rotate freely around the coupling.
• Place the turntable on to the turntable support.
• Place the high/low racks and splash guard onto the
turntable if necessary.
NOTES:
• The waveguide cover is fragile. Care must be taken when
cleaning inside the oven to ensure that it is not damaged.
• 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.
• 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, begin to smoke or catch fire.
• When you order accessories, please mention two details:
PART NAME and MODEL NUMBER to your dealer or
SHARP authorised service facility.

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.

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring code
given in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 38.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker,
consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer
prior to oven use.
Oven Use:
• The oven is for domestic food use only.
• Never operate when empty, except the Refresh
cycle on page 29.
• Do not leave or store anything inside the oven
when not in use.
• Never attempt to use the oven with the door
open. It is important not to force or tamper with
the door safety latches.
• Never operate the oven with any object caught
in the door.
• 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 SHARP approved service facility
(see page 38).
• Never move the oven while it is operating.
• The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, turntable,
accessories and dishes will become very hot
during operation. Care should be taken to avoid
touching these areas when using or cleaning the
oven.
To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves.
FIRE: If smoke is observed, switch off
and unplug the appliance and keep the
door closed in order to stifle any
flames.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
LIQUIDS: Microwave heating of
beverages can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care has to be taken
when handling the container. Stir the
liquid prior to and during heating/
reheating, LET LIQUID STAND FOR AT
LEAST 20 SECONDS IN THE OVEN AFTER
COOKING.
IMPORTANT!
• The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed
and the plug disposed of in a safe manner.
• Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug
be inserted into a socket outlet as a serious
electric shock may occur.
• The plug must not be used without the fuse cover
fitted.
• If you have any doubt about your microwave
oven obtain the help of a qualified electrician.
• 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.

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.

Food packs carry cooking instructions for heating

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.
