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 o 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 [ I lb 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 GB- 6).

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.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN
CLEANERS, STEAM CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH
CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM HYDROX­IDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR
MICROWAVE OVEN.
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door,
oven cabinet and accessories are completely cool.
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND
REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS – Keep the oven
clean, or the oven could lead to a deterioration of
the surface. This could adversely a ect the life of
the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous
situation.

Oven exterior

The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with
mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped o
with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft
towel.

Oven controls

Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the
oven controls. Care should be taken when cleaning
the oven control. Using a cloth dampened with water
only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean.
Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use
any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.

Oven Interior

1. For cleaning, wipe away any splatters or spills with
a soft damp cloth or sponge after each use while
the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild
soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth
until all residues are removed. Built-up splashes
may overheat and begin to smoke or catch  re, and
cause arcing. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

2. Make sure that the mild soap or water does not
penetrate the small vents in the walls which may
cause damage to the oven.

3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.

4. Heat up your oven regularly by using the
convection and grill. Remaining food or fat splashed
can cause smoke or bad smell.

5. 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.

SPECIAL NOTE for WAVEGUIDE COVER: 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).
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.

Accessories

The accessories like turntable, turntable support, rack
and crisp plate should be washed in a mild washing
up liquid solution and dried. They 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, begin to smoke or
catch  re.

Door

To remove all traces 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 glass oven door
since they can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.

NOTE: A steam cleaner should not be used.

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.

become red?

Programme the oven to cook for 3 minutes using

the convection on 250°C.

7. After 3 minutes, is the oven cavity hot?
If you answer “NO” to any question  rst 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:

• Safety powerdowns:
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 o .

• After manual or automatic cooking using the Grill,
Combi 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 “. 0”. 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 you cook food for more than the standard time
(see chart below) using the same cooking mode, the
oven's safety mechanisms automatically activate. The
microwave power level will be reduced or the grill
heating element will turn on and o .

Oven makes a noise. The microwave energy pulses ON and OFF during cooking/defrosting.
Outer cabinet is hot. The cabinet may become warm to the touch - keep children away.

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.

Check the door is closed properly.

Ensure correct power level has been selected.
