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. 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.

W ARNING:

READ CAREFULL Y AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

INSTALLATION (Contiued)

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

6. The oven door may become hot during cooking.

Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is 85 cm or more above the floor.

7.Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 16cm.

8.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-9800, available from your SHARP dealer. Only the use of this frame will guarantee the quality and 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 ARNING!

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN

MICROWAVING - INTRODUCTION

1. Enter the heating time

by pressing the 1min. key two times.

2. Press the

MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL key

five times to select 10%.

3. Press the START/AUTO MINUTE key once to

start cooking.

Display will count down through heating time.

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.
