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
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 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 30).
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.

Microwaves cook food faster than conventional
cooking. It is therefore essential that certain
techniques are followed to ensure good results.
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 30).
• 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.
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 Techniques
ArrangePlace 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.
Many of the following techniques are similar to
those used in conventional cooking.
• 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.
• 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.
CoverCertain foods benefit from being covered during microwave cooking, follow
recommendations where given.
Use vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid.
PierceFoods 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 in their shells and hard / soft boiled eggs should not be
heated in the microwave oven as they may explode, even after
cooking has ended.
Stir, turn and
rearrange
StandStanding time is necessary after cooking so it enables the heat to disperse equally
For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking.
Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.
CompositionFoods 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.
DensityFood 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.
QuantityThe 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.
SizeSmall 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.
ShapeFoods 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.
Temperature of
food
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.
Check the temperature of food and drink, 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.
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.
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.
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.
Use supplied shelves with Convection only.
Warning: When heating food in plastic or paper containers, monitor the oven due to
Defrosting food using your microwave oven is the
quickest method of all.
RearrangeFoods 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.
SeparateFoods 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.
ShieldSome 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.
StandStanding 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 completly defrosted.
Turn overIt is essential that all foods are turned over at least 3 - 4 times during defrosting.
This is important to ensure thorough defrosting.
NOTES:
• Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting.
• To defrost food, use microwave power levels 30% or 10%.
• Please refer to the defrosting chart on page 38 for further information.
It is a simple proccess but the following instructions
are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly
defrosted.
For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated
before serving.
Plated mealsRemove 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.
Sliced meatCover 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.
Poultry portionsPlace 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.
CasserolesCover 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.
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%.
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.
Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents
erupting from the container and may cause burns.
• 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.
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.
• 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.
• Heat up your oven regularly by using the
convection and grill, refer to “Heating without
food” on page 12. Remaining food or fat splashed
can cause smoke or bad smell.
• 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
the 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 the cleaning
instructions).
• Ensure the 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 accessories are dishwasher safe.
• Keep the waveguide cover and accessories clean at
all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity or
accessories, it may overheat, cause arcing, smoke or
even catch fire when next using the oven.
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 fire.
roller
• CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR
INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY FOOD
DEPOSITS.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to a deterioration of
the surface that could adversely affect the
life of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
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.
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.
• A steam cleaner should not be used.
• 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.
• Slight tarnishing of the oven cavity, around the area of the grill, is likely to occur. This is normal and will not
affect the ovens performance.
WARNING:
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet and accessories are completely cool.
Door
• To remove all trace 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 oven door glass since
they can scratch the surface, which may result in
shattering of the glass.
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 grill.
6. After 3 minutes, does the grill heating element
become red?
Programme the oven to cook for 3 minutes using
the convection on 250ºC.
7. 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 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 element will turn on
and off.
• After manual or automatic cooking using the Grill,
Dual Cook or Convection modes, the cooling
fan will continue working 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 the display is blank and has gone dark, even if the
power plug is properly connected, the oven may be
in Energy Save Mode. To cancel it, open and then
close the oven door, see page 8.

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.

similar.
Check the door is closed properly.
Your oven may be set in Demo Mode. To cancel Demo Mode, unplug the oven
from the socket and replug.
The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as
shown:
Green and yellow stripes = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE
As the colours in the mains lead of your oven
may not correspond with the coloured marking
identifying the terminals in your plug, connect the
wires as described:
• 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.
