Important safety instructions

READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

To avoid the danger of fi re. The microwave oven should not be left unattended during operation. Power levels that are too high, or cooking times that are too long, may overheat foods resulting in a fi re.

This oven is designed to be used on a countertop only. It is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit. Do not place the oven in a cabinet. The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.

The AC power supply must be 230-240 V, 50 Hz, with a minimum 10 A distribution line fuse, or a minimum 10A distribution circuit breaker. A separate circuit serving only this appliance should be provided.

Do not place the oven in areas where heat is generated. For example, close to a conventional oven. Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity or where moisture may collect. Do not store or use the oven outdoors.

If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven and keep the door closed in order to stifl e any fl ames.

Use only microwave-safe containers and utensils. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

Clean the waveguide cover and the oven cavity. These must be dry and free from grease. Built up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.

Do not place fl ammable materials near the oven or ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation openings.

Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may cause a fire.

Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the oil may catch fi re.

To make popcorn, use only special microwave popcorn makers.

Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.

Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure the oven is operating as desired.

Do not leave the oven unattended while it is operating.

To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when cooking or reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example, Sausage rolls, Pies or Christmas pudding. See the corresponding hints in the user manual.

To avoid the possibility of injury. WARNING:

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the following before use:

a) Make sure the door closes properly and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.
b) Check to make sure the hinges and safety door latches are not broken or loose.
c) Ensure that the door seals and sealing surfaces have not been damaged.
d) Make sure inside the oven cavity or on the door are no dents.
e) Ensure that the power supply cord and plug are not damaged.

If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.

Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves

the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the door safety latches in any way. Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the door seals and sealing surfaces.

Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits.

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling; therefore, care must be taken when handling the container. To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling:

Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build-up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off. Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

Never heat liquids in narrow necked containers such as baby bottles, as this may result in the contents erupting from the container when heated and cause burns.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:

1. Do not use excessive amount of time.
2. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
3. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar (not metal) into the liquid whilst reheating.
4. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.

Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or

mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.

Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

WARNING: The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns. Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns. To avoid the possibility of burns:

• Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns and eruption of boiling. To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly. Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.
• Temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink; always check the food temperature.
  • Always stand back from the oven door when opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
• Slice stuff ed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
• Keep children away from the door to prevent them burning themselves.

Grillcooking

GRILL ONLY COOKING

The grill at the top of the oven cavity has one power setting only. The grill is assisted by the turntable which rotates simultaneously to ensure even browning. Use the rack for grilling small items of food such as bacon, gammon and teacakes. Food can be placed either directly onto the rack, or into a flan dish/heat-resistant plate on the rack.

Example:

To grill for 20 minutes, using GRILL key.

PressGRILLkey once. U × 1	Enter the required heating time by pressing the10 minkey twice.	Press theSTART/◇+30skey to start the grilling.(The display will count down through the set grilling time.)

Microwave + grill

GRILL + MICROWAVE combines microwave power with the convection function. In this mode the microwave power and convection power is used alternately. Full power microwave for 14 seconds, then grill for 15 seconds. This cycle repeats until the end of the cooking time.

The combination of microwave power with the grill reduces cooking time and provides a crisp, brown finish.

Example:

To cook for 15 minutes, follow the example below.

Press GRILL + CONVECTION key once.MICROWAVE x1+GRILL	Enter the required heating time by pressing the 10 min key once and the 1 min key 5 times.	Press the START/◇ +30s key to start the cooking.(The display will count down through the set cooking time.)

NOTES for GRILL and GRILL + MICROWAVE COOKING:

• It is not necessary to preheat the grill.
• When browning foods in a deep container, place on the turntable.
• You may detect smoke or a burning smell when using the grill for the first time. This is normal and not a sign that the oven is faulty. To avoid this problem, when first using the oven, heat the oven without food for 20 minutes on grill.

IMPORTANT: During operation, to allow smoke or smells to disperse open a window or switch the kitchen ventilation on.

NOTE: When using the grill function, the grill will turn on and off at regular intervals to prevent overheating.

WARNING: The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity and accessories will become very hot during operation. To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves.

Cleaning and care

• Turn off the oven and unplug the power cord from the mains supply when cleaning.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven sides, top base or turntable, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergents may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid using spray or other harsh cleaners. They may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
• The outside of the oven should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation openings.
• Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Do not steam cleaners.
• Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a soft, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.
• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a soft cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity condition. This is not a fault.
• The turntable should be cleaned regularly to avoid contamination and potential arcing/damage. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent.
• Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and skin of one lemon in a microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
• If the light bulb fails, please contact customer service for advice.
• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits should be removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of surface that could adversely affect the life of the unit and could possibly result in a hazardous situation.
• Please do not dispose of this appliance into the domestic rubbish bin; refer to your countries advice on disposal of this type of product.

Suitableovenware

1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fi res.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be careful don't use too much and keep a distance of 2.54 cm between foil and cavity.

The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.

Microwave cooking advice

Microwaves cook food faster than conventional cooking. It is therefore essential that certain techniques are followed to ensure good results. Many of the following techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking.

WARNING: 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 jar/container to explode.

COOKING ADVICE NOTES:

• Always attend the oven when in use.
- Ensure that the utensils are suitable for use in a microwave oven.
- 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.

WARNING: 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.

Arrange

Place 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.

Cover

Certain foods benefit from being covered during microwave cooking.

Use vented microwave cling fi Im or a suitable lid.

Pierce

Foods 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 should not be heated using microwave power as they may explode, even after cooking has ended. e.g. poached, fried, hard boiled.

Stir, turn and rearrange

For even cooking it is essential to stir, turn and rearrange food during cooking. Always stir and rearrange from the outside towards the centre.

Stand

Standing time is necessary after cooking so it enables the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.

Food Characteristics
Composition	Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fi re.Bones in food conduct heat, making the food cook more quickly. Care must be taken so that the food is cooked evenly.
Density	Food 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.
Quantity	The 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.
Size	Small 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.
Shape	Foods 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	The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed.Chilled foods will take longer to cook 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 fi llings, for example jam doughnuts, to release heat or steam.

WARNING: Face and 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 fi lm), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.

WARNING: 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.

Defrosting advice

Using your microwave oven is the quickest defrosting method. It is a simple process but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted.

• Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting.
• To defrost food, use microwave power levels P-20 to P-40.
• Please refer to the further information below.

Rearrange

Foods 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 over-lapping areas.

This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.

Separate

Foods 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 fi llets.

Shield

Some 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.

Stand

Standing 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 completely defrosted.

Turn over

It is essential that all foods are turned over up to 4 times during defrosting.

This is important to ensure thorough defrosting.

Reheating advice

For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Plated meals

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 power level P-50, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating.

NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Sliced meat

Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on power level P-60. Rearrange at least once to ensure even reheating.

NOTE: Ensure the meat is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Poultry portions

Place thickest parts of the portions to the outside of the dish, cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on power level P-70.

Turn over halfway through reheating.

NOTE: Ensure the poultry is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Casseroles

Cover with vented microwave cling fi lm or a suitable lid and reheat on power level P-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 power level P-100, while a lasagne which contains ingredients that cannot be stirred, should be reheated using power level P-40.

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.

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: 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.

Troubleshooting

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. Set the timer know to cook for 1 minute using microwave power level of P-100.

1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking?
2. Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing your hand above the air vent openings).
3. After 1 minute does the audible signal sound?
4. Is the water in the cup 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 below.

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 repair, modify or operate the oven if it is not working properly.
• Outer Cabinet and 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

Issue Explanation
Draught circulates around the door.	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.
Condensation forms in the oven, and may drip 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.
Flashing or arcing from within the cavity when cooking.	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.
Arcing potatoes. Ensure all “eyes” are removed from the potatoes and that they have been pierced, place directly onto the turntable in a heat resistant fl an dish or similar.
Oven does not work when the START/+30s button is pressed.	Check the door is closed properly.
Oven cooks too slowly. Ensure correct power level has been selected.
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 using the oven in the grill only mode it may be noticed that the heating element does not appear to be on all the time.	While cooking in the grill mode, the oven temperature is monitored to ensure that the cavity does not get too hot. The grill element may turn on and off during the cooking cycle.
When using the grill in the combination mode, it does not appear to be on.	During the combination cooking mode (microwave and grill), the oven will switch between the two functions. The microwave and grill functions will not be turned on at the same time.
Convection oven does not appear to be getting hot enough.	The oven cavity temperature will be maintained at +/- 10% of the set level.Temperature is measured in the dead centre of the oven with a calibrated temperature measuring device using a K-type thermocouple.
After cooking the oven makes a noise or appears to still be operating.	At the end of the cooking cycle the fan may stay on for several minutes to cool down the oven. This is normal.
"COOL" is shown in the display.	When used in the air fry, grill or convection modes the oven cavity will heat up.After cooking is compete, "COOL" will be displayed until the temperature of the cavity drops below 140°C.

Before calling for assistance

Before asking for service, please check each item below:

• Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.
• Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
• Check to ensure that the power and timer knobs are set correctly.
• Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven

IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
