2
Remove all packing materials. Remove the protec-
tive film (blue film) from the outer case cabinet (if cov-
ered). Do not remove the plastic film from the inside
of the oven window as this protects it from dirt.
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.
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.
•Check the hinges and door safety latches are
not broken or loose.
•Ensure the door seal and sealing surfaces are
not damaged.

Ensure there is a minimum free space above the oven
of 15 cm.
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, as obstructions may ignite due to the
emission of hot air.
•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 au-
thorised Service Technician appointed by
SHARP.

OW TO OPERATE THE OVEN
H
NOTES:
Introduction: Water, sugar and fat in food absorbs
microwaves and causes their molecules 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.
• 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.
MEMORY COOKING
NOTE FOR MEMORY COOKING
•
•
This oven has 20 memory banks (1-20) which can
store cooking programmes.
The memory banks 1-0 have been programmed
previously as shown in the table. These prepro-
grammed memory banks can be changed indi-
vidually if required.
In addition for all memory banks a time constant
1.7 for the double quantity is stored. The stored
time constant can also be changed individually if
required.
Information in these memory banks is not lost due
to power interruptions. If the power goes off, the
oven does not need to be reprogrammed. No bat-
teries are necessary for this type of memory.

EXPRESS DEFROST CHART
This is specially designed for smaller cuts of food. The following foods should be used on the express defrost programme.
1.Beef Steak
2.Lamb Chops
3.Pork Chops
4.Chicken Portions
5.Fish Steaks
The oven is pre-programmed with a time and power level cycle so that the food listed above is defrosted easily.
BASIC IDEAS FOR EXPRESS DEFROST
i/ Always allow food to stand for approx. 10-30 minutes after defrosting to equalise the temperature and to produce
better defrosting results.
ii/ Check food after standing. If the item is not thoroughly defrosted, continue to defrost on 20% power for additional time.
iii/ Choose foods that are the same thickness throughout. This will produce better defrosting results. Foods which
vary in thickness may require shielding with small flat pieces of tin foil to prevent over-defrosting.
iv/ For foods not listed in the chart refer to the manual defrosting chart.
v/ When freezing chicken pieces, steak, chops and fish, freeze separately in single flat layers and if necessary
interleave with freezer plastic to seperate layers. This will ensure even defrosting.

OOKING ADVICE
C
WARNING - 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% unless you press the SELECT POWER pad to reach the desired setting. Take
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. Take care when heating contents in babies bottles, see page 18.
Do not cook eggs in their shell as they will explode. Do not heat canned potatoes in the microwave oven as they may burst.
•
•
For microwaving, use only those utensils suitable for microwave cookery as indicated below.
A variety of cookware can be used for microwaving. Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recom-
mended, as food in the corners tends to overcook.

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 and stir (before serving). Take special care when serving babies,
children or the elderly. the contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and
the temperature checked before consumption to avoid burns.
FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION
For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during cooking.
Where recommended, leave food to stand after cooking or
defrosting.
Stir, turn &

Theinitialtemperatureoffoodaffectstheamountofcookingtime
needed, for example, 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.
Initial temperature
Foodwithskin(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.
Piercing

the meaty ends of chicken drumsticks on the outside of the
dish.
Arrangement
Covering
Fish, vegetables and certain other foods benefit from being
covered during microwave cookery, follow recommendations
wheregivenanduseventedmicrowaveclingfilmorasuitablelid.
Food size and shape affect 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.
Size & 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 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.

LEANING & MAINTENANCE
C
WARNING
• Do not remove the ceramic floor from the oven.
• Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door
seals and adjacent parts as this may prevent the
door from closing correctly and may cause a leak-
age of microwaves. To clean use a mild detergent
solution on a soft damp cloth.
• Do not operate the oven without the air ventilation cover.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners, abrasive or
harsh cleaners or scouring pads on any part of your
microwave oven.
• Do not sprinkle water onto the oven directly. It may
cause electric shock, leakage of electricity or damage
of the oven.
• Keep the ceramic floor clean at all times. If you leave
grease or fat in the cavily, it may overheat, smoke or
even catch fire when next using the oven.
• Never use spray cleaners, oven keys or abrasive scour-
ers as these damage the surface of the oven.
OVEN INTERIOR
Clean the microwave oven cavity, at the end of each day
with a damp soft cloth. For heavier soil, use mild soap
applied with a soft damp cloth wipe clean ensuring all
mild soap is removed. Make sure that mild soap or water
does not penetrate through the small vents in the walls
which may cause damage to the oven. Take care not to
let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven
walls. 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.
The ceramic floor should be kept clean at all times. Minor
spills may be wiped with a damp cloth.
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 inactivating the oven.

ROUBLESHOOTING
T
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 trouble-
shooting chart below.
If you think the oven is not working properly there are some
simple checks which you can carry out yourself before you
call for an engineer. This will help prevent unnecessary
service calls if the fault is something simple.
Simply answer "YES" or "NO" to the following questions:
WARNINGS:
!
1 Does the oven lamp come on when you open the
door?
YES/NO
• Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself,
or allow anyone other than a Service Technician,
appointed by SHARP to carry out the service.
Put half a cup of water on the ceramic floor in the oven
and close the door. Cook for 1 minute at 100%.
2 Does the oven lamp come on?
3 Does the fan motor work? (Check by placing your
hand above the air vent openings) YES/NO
4 After 1 minute does the "Beep" signal sound?
YES/NO
5 And did the heating indicator "ON" go out?
YES/NO
YES/NO
• The door seal stops microwave leakage during oven
operation, but does not form an airtight seal. It is nor-
mal 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 & Modifications: Do not attempt to operate the
oven if it is not working properly.
6 Is the water in the cup hot?
YES/NO
• Outer Cabinet & LampAccess: Never remove the outer
cabinet. This would be very dangerous due to high
voltage parts inside which must never be touched, as
this could be fatal, As your oven is not fitted with a
lamp access cover, if the lamp fails. Do not attempt to
replace the lamp yourself, call a Service Technician
appointed by SHARP.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
PROBLEM
Draught circulates around the
door.
When 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. Con-
densation trapped in the door glass should clear after a few hours.
Condensation forms in the
oven, and may drip from the
door.
Arcing will occur when a metallic object comes into dose proximity to the
oven cavity during cooking. This may possibly roughen the surface of the
cavity, but would not otherwise damage the oven.
Flashing or arcing from within
the cavity when cooking.
Ensure all "eyes" are removed and place in a heat resistant flan dish or
similar.
Arcing potatoes.
After setting the time, the
oven does not start.
Check the door is closed properly.
Ensure correct power level has been selected.
Oven cooks too slowly.
Oven makes a noise.
Outer cabinet is hot.
The microwave energy pulses ON/OFF during cooking/defrosting.
The cabinet may become warm to the touch - keep chidren away

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 con-
nected to a single phase 230-240 Volt, 50Hz alternating cur-
rent supply.
• The brown wire to the plug terminal marked L or
coloured red or coloured brown.
If you do not make the proper electrical connections you
