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. Contact
your dealer or an authorised Service
Technician appointed by SHARP.
It is hazardous for anyone other than
a competant person to carry out any
service or repair operation which
involves the removal of a cover which
gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Oven Use:
• The oven is for domestic food preparation only .
Never operate when empty , except as directed in
the operation manual (see page 6).
• 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 tamper with the door safety
latches. This may result in exposure to microwave
energy .
• Never operate the oven with any object caught in
the door sealing surfaces, this again may cause
microwave leakage.
• 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
Service Technician appointed by SHARP.
• Never attempt to move the oven while it is
operating.
• Do not hold the lower grill heater up other than for
cleaning.
Childcare: 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.
1.Remove all packing materials including the feature
sticker. Do not remove the plastic film from the inside
of the oven window as this protects it from dirt.
2.Place oven on a secure, level surface, strong
enough to take the oven weight, plus the heaviest
item likely to be cooked in the oven.
3.Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or high
humidity are generated, (for example, near or
above a conventional oven or kettle) or near
combustible materials (for example, curtains). Do
not block or obstruct air vent openings, as
obstructions may ignite due to the emission of hot
air.
4.Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged
(See Installation next page) and that it does not run
under the oven or over any hot or sharp surfaces.
Fire: If food overheats, starts to smoke or
burn: keep oven door closed; turn oven
off; switch off the power at the socket
and disconnect the plug from the socket.
Failure to follow this procedure may
result in fire and oven damage.
Liquids: Take care when microwaving
liquids and beverages. To prevent delayed
eruptive boiling of liquid and possible
scalding: stir liquid prior to and during
heating/reheating, let liquid stand in the
oven at the end of cooking.

safety of the oven. When building, follow installation
instructions supplied carefully .
IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• Do not allow water to come into contact with the
power supply cord or plug.
• Insert the plug properly into the socket as the plug
may otherwise overheat and catch fire.
• Do not connect other appliances to the same socket
using an adaptor plug as it may cause the house
wiring to overheat and catch fire.
• If the plug or socket is loose or the power supply
cord is damaged, do not operate the oven, it must
be replaced by the special power cord, part no.
QACCBA004URE1. Contact your dealer or a
Service Technician appointed by SHARP.
A defective plug, power supply cord or socket may
overheat and catch fire during operation or cause
an electrical shock.
• When removing the plug from the socket always
grip the plug, never the mains lead as this may
damage the power supply cord and the
connections inside the plug.
• The product is fitted with a re-wireable plug. Should
it not be suitable for the socket outlet in your home,
remove the plug and fit an appropriate type,
observing “To replace the mains plug” on this page.
If you wish to remove or replace the plug supplied,
ensure the plug is removed properly and not cut off.
When replacing the plug please ensure that you use a
BSI or AST A approved plug to BS1363, this should be
fitted with a brown coloured 13 amp fuse approved
by BSI or AST A to BS1362. If you have any doubt
about electrical connection seek the help of a
qualified electrician.
WARNING - IMPORTANT NOTE
Please note both the Operation Manual and Cookery
Book supplied specify 850W (IEC 705) microwave
output power. This applies only when the oven is
operated on a 230-240V supply .
If your supply is less than 230-240V, it may be
necessary to increase the cooking time when
following the Operation Manual and Cookery Book
instructions.
TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG
The wires in the mains cable are colour coded::
green and yellow stripes = EARTH
blue = NEUTRAL
brown = LIVE
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 follows:
• 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.
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 V olt, 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.

W ater, 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 23-24.

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. For
example, you can make toast or cheese on toast. It
is ideal for browning and crisping food which has
been microwaved.
Use the high rack for grilling small items of food such
as bacon, steak and toast, 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 and 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.

SUITABLE COOKWARE
W ARNING - 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% (HIGH) unless you press the MICROW AVE POWER LEVEL key
to reach the desired setting. T ake care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, e.g, Christmas pudding,
mince pies and fruit cakes. Before use, check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
• Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before using them in the oven. If you do not, steam and
pressure will build up inside and the container may explode. T ake care when heating contents in babies bottles,
see page 24.
• Never cook eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens as they
may explode, even after microwave heating has ended.. Do not heat canned potatoes in the microwave oven as
they may burst.
• Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable.

FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION
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.
Stir , turn & stand:
For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during
cooking. Where recommended, leave food to stand
after cooking or defrosting.
Initial and final temperature of food:
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.
COOKWARE
YES
Always attend the oven closely. Only use to
absorb fat and moisture when warming
food. Pay special attention as over-heating
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.
NO
YES/NO
Use small pieces of aluminium foil to shield food
from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the

Hygiene
Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding, mince
pies) requires less heating time and should be
watched, over-heating can lead to fire.
Use good quality ingredients for microwaving.
Economical cuts of meat can be used for casseroles.
Food with skin (e.g. potatoes, apples, fish, sausages,
chicken), or with membrane (e.g egg whites/yolks),
must be pierced in several places before cooking or
reheating. If not, steam will build up and may cause
food to explode. When cooking eggs using “Auto cook
6, Breakfast”, it is not necessary to pierce the yolks, as
the programme uses grill only .
Place thickest parts of food on the outside of the dish,
e.g. place meaty ends of chicken drumsticks 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 affects 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.

allow meat to stand for 45-60 minutes, until
thoroughly defrosted.
Place in a flan dish, turn over at least 3-4 times
during defrosting, shield any warm areas with small,
pieces of foil. After defrosting, wrap in foil and allow
poultry to stand for 45-60 minutes, until thoroughly
defrosted.
NOTE: Do not defrost poultry with giblets.
Place in a flan dish, separate during defrosting and
turn over at least 2-3 times. Shield if necessary.
Place in a bowl, stir or turn over at least 3-4 times
during defrosting, remove defrosted parts each time.
For frozen blocks of meat see ‘Minced Beef’ in the
charts on page XX.
Place in a flan dish, separate during defrosting and
turn over at least twice. Shield if necessary.
Remove packaging, including any foil and place in a
suitable dish.
NOTES:
• To defrost food, use either 30% (MEDIUM
LOW/DEFROST) or 10% (LOW) microwave power.
• Shield warm areas with small pieces of foil if
necessary.
• It is important to turn food over , separate (where
appropriate) and rearrange to ensure even
defrosting.
• Standing time is necessary to ensure thorough
defrosting.
ADVICE FOR REHEATING
27
W ARNINGS:
Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. 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.
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, Christmas pudding.
• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturers’
instructions on the can
Plated meals
Casseroles
Poultry portions
Sliced meat
Pies
Vegetables
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% (MEDIUM), stir/rearrange halfway
through reheating. Ensure food is thoroughly reheated
before serving.
Cover with vented microwave cling-film or suitable lid,

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
28
TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
Ensure all food splashes are wiped off immediately
after use, otherwise it is possible that any food
deposits will become baked onto the rear of the oven
cavity resulting in staining of the polished surface,
which may then be impossible to remove. Slight
tarnishing of the oven cavity around that area of the
convection 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 turntable support 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.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on
the door seals and sealing surfaces as this
may prevent the door from closing
correctly and may cause a leakage of
microwaves. Clean the door, door seals
and adjacent parts regularly with a damp
cloth, preferably before splashes and
grease become dried onto the surface.
OUTER CABINET
Wipe the outside cabinet with a mild detergent
solution on a soft cloth. The control panel must be
wiped clean whilst the door is open, therefore
deactivating the oven.
NOTE:
• Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or
abrasive scourers as these damage the
surface of the oven.
