IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
WARNING
To avoid the danger of fire
1. The microwave ovens 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 fire.
2. This oven is not designed to be built-in to a wall or
cabinet.
3. The electrical outlet must be readily accesible so
that the unit can be unplugged easily in an
emergency.
4. The AC power supply must be 230V, 50Hz, with a
minimum 16A distribution line fuse, or a minimum
16A distribution circuit breaker. In using two ovens,
each oven must be secured with a 16A distribution
line fuse or a distribution circuit breaker.
5. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
6. Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional
oven.
7. Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity
or where moistrure may collect.
8. Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
9. If food being heated in the oven begins to
smoke, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Unplug the
oven and wait until the food has stopped
smoking. Opening the door while food is
smoking may cause a fire.
10. Use only microwave-safe containers and
utensils. See "GUIDE" on page 15.
11. Always attend the oven closely when using
disposable plastic, paper or other combustible
food containers. Look at the oven from time to
time when cooking or reheating food in those
containers. Only use for warming food. Pay
special attention as over-heating may cause a
fire in your oven.
12. Clean the splash cover and the oven cavity
after use. These must be dry and free from
grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin
to smoke or catch fire.
13. Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings.
14. Do not block the ventilation openings.
15. Remove all metalic seals, wire twists, etc., from
food and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces
may cause a fire.
16. Do not use the microwave oven to fry with oil or
heat oil for deep frying. The temperature can not
be controlled and the oil catch fire.
17. To make popcorn, use only special microwave
makers.
18. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
19. Check the settings after you start the oven to
ensure the oven is operating as desired.
20. 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.
21. See the corresponding hints in this operation manual
and in the attached cookery book section.
To avoid the possibility of injury
1. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or
malfunctioning. Check the following before use.
(a) The door;
make sure the door closes properly and ensure
it is not misaligned or warped.
(b) The hinges and safety door latches;
check to make sure they are not broken or loose.
(c) The door seals and sealing surfaces;
ensure that they have not been damaged.
(d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door;
make sure there are no dents.
(e) The power supply cord and plug;
ensure that they are not damaged.
2. Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself.
It is hazardous for anyone other than a
authorized electrician to carry out any service
or repair operation which involves the removal
of a cover which gives protection against
exposure to microwave energy.
3. Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter
the safety door latches in any way.
4. Do not operate the oven if there is an object between
the door seals and sealing surfaces.
5. Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door
seals and sealing surfaces. Follow instructions for
"Care and Cleaning", page 13.
6. Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with
their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker
for precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock
1. Under no circumstances should you remove the
outer cabinet.
2. Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock
openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a
spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately, and
call a SHARP service agent.
3. Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
4. Do not let the power supply cord hang over the
edge of a table or work surfaces.
5. Keep the power supply cord away from heated
surfaces, particularly the back of the oven.
6. Unplug the oven before replacting the oven lamp
(25W/230V).
7. If the power supply cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord.
The exchange must be made by an authorized
SHARP service agent.

2
To avoid the possibility of explosion
and sudden boiling
1. WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not
be heated in sealed containers since they are
liable to explode.
2. 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.
3.
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) Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2) It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar
utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.
3) Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking
time to prevent delayed eruptive boling.
4. 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, or
the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard
boiled eggs before reheating them in the
microwave oven.
5. Pierce the skin on such foods as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
1. Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing
food from the oven to prevent burns.
2. Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands
to avoid steam burns.
3. 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.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication
of the temperature of the food or drink; always
check the food temperature.
4. Always stand back from the oven door when
opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and
heat.
5. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
6. Keep children away from the door to prevent them
burning themselves.
7. Do not touch the back of the oven because it will
become hot.
To avoid misuse by children
1. WARNING: 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.
2. Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play
with the oven or use it as a toy.
3. Children should be taught all important safety
instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of
food coverings; paying special attention to
packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to
make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.
Other warnings
1. Never modify the oven in any way.
2. Do not move the oven while it is in operation.
3. This oven is for food preparation only and may only
be used for cooking food. It is not suitable for
laboratory use.
To promote trouble free use of your oven
and avoid damage.
1. Never operate the oven when it is empty.
Doing so may damage the oven.
2. When using a browing dish or self-heating material,
always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a
porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the
ceramic floor due to heat stress. The preheating
time specified in the dishes instructions must not
be exceeded.
3. Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves
and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in
the oven.
4. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during
operation.
NOTE
1. If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please
consult an authorized qualified electrician.
2. Neither the manufacuture nor the dealer can accept
any liability for damage to the oven or personal
injury resulting from failure to observe the correct
electrical connection procedure.
3. Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on
the oven walls or around the door seals and sealing
surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an
indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.

Press the START key within 1 minute
after closing the door.
Halfway through defrost time CHECK will flash and the oven will "beep"
4 times.
Open the door. Turn food over and shield any warm portions.
Close the door.
Press the START key.
Press the EXPRESS DEFROST key.
1. Position the food with thinner parts in centre in a single layer,
if pieces are stuck together separate as soon as possible.
2. Shield any thinner parts with foil if necessary.
3. Turn over, rearrange after the audible sound.
After turning over, shield the defrosted portions with small,
flat pieces of aluminium foil.
After defrosting stand for 10-30 minutes.
METHOD
Note: If you do not open the door when an audible signal sounds, the defrosting cycle will continue and the
defrosting time will count down to 0.
EXPRESS DEFROST
Express Defrost is used to defrost meat and poultry. Enter desired defrost time, referring to the defrost chart.
Example : If you want to defrost for 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
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
-Always allow food to stand for approx. 10-30 minutes after defrosting to equalise the temperature and to
produce better defrosting results.
-Check food after standing. If the item is not thoroughly defrosted, continue to defrost on 20% power for additional
time.
-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.
-For foods not listed in the chart refer to the manual defrosting chart.
-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.

Microwaves set the water molecules contained in the
food vibrating. The resulting friction generates heat
that can be used to defrost or cook the food.
Food
SUITABLE UTENSILS
Glass, Glass-ceramics and Porcelain
Heat-resistant utensils made of glass, glass-ceramic
or porcelain are suitable. However, the utensils must
not contain metals (e.g., lead crystal) or be metal-
plated (e.g., gold rim, cobalt blue).
Glass, Porcelain, Ceramics
Plastics, paper etc.
Ceramics
are usually suitable but they must be enamelled. When
using utensils that are not enamelled, moisture can be
absorbed by the material and heat it up. This can
cause the material to crack.
Plastics and Paper Dishes
Heat-resistant and microwave-proof plastic utensils or
paper dishes are suitable for defrosting, heating and
cooking. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Microwave Plastic Wrap
or heat-resistant wrap is suitable for covering and
wrapping food. Please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Roasting Bags
can be used in microwave ovens. Do not close the
bags with a metal clip because the clip may cause the
bag film to melt. Close the bag with string and pierce it
several times with a fork. Films that are not heat-
resistant, e.g., films to retain product freshness are not
recommended for use in microwave ovens.
GUIDE
USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT
MICROWAVES
Microwaves
pass through
The microwaves are
absorbed by the food
Metals
should not, as a rule, be used in microwave ovens
because microwaves cannot penetrate metals and
reach the food inside.
There are, however, some exceptions: Small strips of
aluminum foil can be used to cover parts to prevent
them from defrosting or cooking too fast (e.g., chicken
wings).
Metal
Small metal skewers and aluminum trays (of
prepackaged food) may be used. However, they must
be small in proportion to the food. Aluminum containers,
for example, must be filled to at least 2/3 to 3/4 with
food. It is recommendable to transfer the food into
microwave-safe containers.
When using aluminum trays or other metal utensils,
they must be placed at least 2.0 cm away from the
cavity walls. Otherwise the cavity walls may be
damaged by sparking.
Do not use any utensils with metal-plating, metal parts
or metal projections like screws, ribbons, or handles.
Microwaves are

TESTING UTENSILS
Perform the following test if you are unsure whether a
certain utensil is microwave-safe: Place the utensil into
the oven, put a glass containing about 150 ml of water
on or beside the utensil, and operate the microwave
oven at 100% power for 1 to 2 minutes. If it is cool or
luke-warm to the touch, the utensil is suitable for
microwave use. Do not perform this test on plastic
dishes because the plastic might melt.

INFORMATION ABOUT POWER LEVEL
100%-70% power:
The high power is perfect for warming up or regenerating food. You can also use it to make food boil e.g. water
and then cook further with lower power. (e.g. for rice or noodles)
60%-40% power:
For longer cooking times and compact types of food.
30%-20% power:
For considerate cooking and sensitive menus. Also after cooking to simmer or for noodles and rice.
10% power:
The low power level is mainly for defrosting. You can also use it for cooking of very sensitive menus like cheese
sauce.
Basically it is recommendable to cover the food for cooking or reheating. Additionally you can sprinkle some water
over the food (you can also use salted water or even bouillon).
The water steam keeps the food moist and it also helps to make the cooking faster.
