is not optional but necessary to ensure thorough cook-

ing and is particularly important for dense food, such as

joints of meat.

Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and uten-

sils 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 micro-

wave leakage. Metallic dishes are not suitable for

microwaving.

Outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy,

and remaining portions by conduction. It is, therefore,

important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even

heating. Where recommended, allow food to stand, this

TIPS: Allow foods to stand a few minutes after defrosting to equalize the temperature for better cooking results.

Check food after standing. If additional time is needed, continue to defrost with 20% power and additional time.

Foods that are the same thickness throughout defrost better. If foods have varied thickness, it may be

necessary to shield the thin edges with small flat pieces of aluminum foil to prevent overdefrosting.

For foods not listed in the chart refer to the manual defrost chart on pages 18-19.

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 15.

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.

Frozen Foods

NOTES:

•

To defrost food, use either 30% or 10% 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 after defrosting to ensure thorough defrosting.

ADVICE FOR REHEATING

WARNINGS:

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, spacial 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

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%, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating. Ensure

thoroughly reheated before serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid,

reheat on 50%. Stir frequently to ensure even reheating.

NOTES:

Prior to defrosting, food is frozen approx. -18⁰C.

If it is necessary to shield small areas of food, use small pieces of foil.

Only use food which is thoroughly defrosted, use a professional food thermometer to ensure acceptable

temperatures have been achieved throughout.

EXPRESS DEFROST

This is specially designed for smaller cuts of food. The following items are to be used on the express defrost programme.

1.Beef Steak

2.Lamb Chops

3.Pork Chops

4.Chicken Legs

5.Fish Fillets

The oven is pre-programmed with a time and power level cycle so that the food listed above is defrosted better and faster.

BASIC IDEAS FOR EXPRESS DEFROST

i/ Always allow food to stand for approx. 30-45 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 legs, 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.

NOTES

Only serve food which is thoroughly reheated, use a professional food thermometer to ensure acceptable

temperatures have been reached throughout.

Temperatures refered to in this chart are: Room, approx. 20^oC, Chilled, approx. 5^oC, and Frozen, approx. -18^oC

Hygiene - see Food Handling & Preparation, Page 15

During standing time (where recommended) food should be covered. If covered during reheating, leave covered.

If reheated uncovered, cover with foil.

The reheating times given above are provided as a guide only. Reheating times will vary according to food

weight, quality and initial temperature. Please ensure that food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

LEANING & MAINTENANCE

WARNING

grease or fat in the cavily, it may overheat, smoke or

even catch fire when next using the oven.

Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive scour-

ers as these damage the surface of the oven.

Do not remove the ceramic floor from the oven.

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.

Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could

lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely

affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a

hazardous situation.

• 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 splash cover in place.

DO NOT REMOVE the splash cover UNLESS THE

POWER CORD IS REMOVED FROM THE OUTLET

because the rotary antenna, which is located on the

ceiling, operates for 1 minute after the door is opened

and injury could occur.

•

Keep the ceramic floor clean at all times. If you leave

OVEN INTERIOR

Clean the microwave oven cavity, at the end of each day in the oven walls. Excess water spillage through these

with a damp soft cloth for hygienic reasons. For heavier

soil, use mild soap applied with a soft damp cloth wipe

clean ensuring all soap is removed. Make sure that the

soap or water does not penetrate through the small vents

holes will cause damage to the oven interior. It is impor-

tant 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

in the walls which may cause damage to the oven. Take spills may be wiped with a damp cloth.

care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes

SPLASH COVER

AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, REMOVETHE SPLASH COVER AND WASH BOTH SIDES OF IT IN A MILD DETERGENT SOLUTION.

A BUILD UP OF GREASE MAY OVERHEAT AND BEGINTO SMOKE AND MAY BURNTHE SPLASH COVER.THE SPLASH COVER

IS LOCATED IN THETOP OF THE OVEN AND MAY EASILY BE REMOVED. REMEMBERTO UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.

Removal:

Reinstall:

1. Remove two thumb screws (A) as shown in Fig.1.

2. Remove the splash cover from the oven.

1. Insert two projections of the cover (B) into the holes of

the oven cavity backplate as shown in Fig. 2.

2. Secure the cover to the oven ceiling with two thumb

screws (A) as shown in Fig. 1.

OVEN LIGHT REPLACEMENT

Unplug the oven before removing the removable cover to access oven light bulb, and replace the light bulb (25W/240V).

Make sure that the cover is secured to the oven cabinet after replacing the light bulb. See page 1.

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.

Keep the air intake filter clean. Clean the air intake filter

once every two weeks.

ROUBLESHOOTING

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 Do the oven lamp and fan motor come on for 1

minute 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

•

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 has a removable cover

over oven light bulb, it is possible for you to replace

the light bulb yourself with care. The light bulb can be

purchased from Sharp Electronics (U.K.) Ltd. See page

30. Unplug the oven before replacing the light bulb.

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

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.

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. Con-

densation 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 dose 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 and place in a heat resistant flan dish or

similar.

After setting the time, the

oven does not start.

Check the door is closed properly.

Oven cooks too slowly.

Oven makes a noise.

Outer cabinet is hot.

Ensure correct power level has been selected.

The microwave energy pulses ON/OFF during cooking/defrosting.

The cabinet may become warm to the touch - keep children away
