CONTENTS
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
theterminalsinyourplug,connectthewiresasdescribed:
• 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.
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 connected to a single phase 230-240V~, 50Hz
alternatingcurrentsupply.
If you do not make the proper electrical connections you might damage the oven or injure yourself.
NeitherSHARPnorthesupplier will be liable if this happens.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
If you have any doubts about your electrical supply ask a qualied electrician.
IMPORTANT
• The fuse from the cut-o plug should be removed and the plug disposed of in a safe manner.
• Under no circumstances should the cut-o plug be inserted into a socket outlet as a serious electric
shock may occur.
• The plug must not be used without the fuse cover tted.
If you have any doubt about your microwave oven obtain the help of a qualified electrician. When
replacing the plug please ensure that you use a BSI or ASTA approved plug to BS1363, this should be
tted with a brown coloured 13 amp fuse approved by BSI or ASTA to BSI 362. If you have any doubt
about electrical connection seek the help of a qualied electrician.

NOTES:
• The waveguide cover is fragile. Care should be taken when cleaning inside the oven to
ensure that it is not damaged.
• Always operate the oven with the turntable and roller stay tted correctly. This promotes
thorough, even cooking. A badly tted turntable may rattle, may not rotate properly and
could cause damage to the oven.
• The turntable rotates clockwise or anti-clockwise. The rotary direction may change each
time you start the oven.This does not aect cooking performance.
• When you order accessories, please quote both the PART NAME and MODEL NUMBER to
your dealer or SHARP approved service facility.
WARNING:
The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, turntable and dishes will become very
hot during operation. To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
5. Keep the power supply cord away from heated surfac-
es, including the rear of the oven.
6. Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or
allow anyone who is not an electrician authorised by
SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult
your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boil-
ing:
1. Neverusesealed containers.Removesealsand lids be-
fore use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build
up of pressure even after the oven has been turned o
.
2. 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 con-
tents erupting from the container when heated and
cause burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and pos-
sible 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 utensil
(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.
3. Pierce the skin of suchfoodsaspotatoes, sausagesand
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 cook-
ing bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid
steam burns and eruption of boiling.

GB-11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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, chil-
dren 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• Do not allow water to come into contact with the power
supply cord or plug.
• Insert the plug properly into the socket.
• Do not connect other appliances to the same socket us-
ing an adaptor plug.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
byaSharpapprovedservicefacilityorasimilarlyqualied
person to avoid a hazard.
• When removing the plug from the socket always grip the
plug, never the cord as this may damage the power sup-
ply cord and the connections inside the plug.
• If the plug tted to your oven is a rewireable type and
in the event of the socket outlet in your home not be-
ing compatible with the plug supplied, remove the plug
properly (do not cut o ).
• If the plug tted to your oven is a nonrewirable type and
in the event of the socket outlet in your home not be-
ing compatible with the plug supplied, cut-o the mains
plug.
• Ret with a suitable type, observing the wiring code giv-

GB-15
HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS
Microwaves are energy waves, similar to
those used forTV and radio signals.
Electrical energy is converted into micro-
wave energy, which is directed into the
middle bottom of the cavity via a wave-
guide. Then the microwave stirrer distrib-
ute the microwave energy to every corner
of the cavity evenly.
Microwaves cannot pass through metal,
because of this the oven cavity is made of
metal and there is a ne metal mesh on the
door.
During cooking the microwavesbounceo
the sides of the oven cavity at random.
Microwaveswill passthroughcertainmate-
rials, such as glass and plastic, to heat the
food. (See 'Suitable Ovenware’on page GB-
28).
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb micro-
waves 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 impor-
tanttoturn,rearrangeor stirfoodtoensure
even heating.
Once cooking is complete, the oven auto-
matically stops producing microwaves.
Standing time is necessary after cooking,
as it enables the heat to disperse equally
throughout the food.
