ACCESSORIES:
Check to make sure the following accessories
are provided:
12 Turntable 13 Turntable support 14 Coupling
Place the turntable support in the centre of the oven floor so that it can
freely rotate around the coupling.
Place the turntable onto the turntable support so that it locates firmly into
the coupling.
To avoid turntable damage, ensure dishes or containers are lifted clear
of the turntable rim when removing them from the oven.
NOTES:
• When you order accessories, please mention two items: part name
and model name to your dealer or SHARP authorised service agent.
• Always operate the oven with the turntable and support fitted
correctly. This promotes thorough even cooking. A badly fitted
turntable may rattle, may not rotate properly and damage the oven.
• The turntable rotates clockwise or counter clockwise. The rotary
direction may change each time you start the oven. This does not
affect cooking performance.

INSTALLATION
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.
• Check the hinges and door safety
latches are not broken or loose.
• Ensure the door seal and sealing
surfaces are not damaged.
• 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 authorised Service Technician
appointed by SHARP. (see p. 62)
1. Remove all packing materials including the
feature sticker. Do not remove the plastic film from
the inside of the oven window as this protects it
from dirt.
2. 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.
3. The minimum
height of free
space necessary
above the top
surface of the
oven is 19.5cm.
4. 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. Do not
place objects on top of the oven.
5. Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged
(See IMPORTANT! ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
opposite) and that it does not run under the oven
or over any hot or sharp surfaces.
6. The socket must be readily accessible so that it
can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
7. Do not use the oven outdoors.
BUILDING-IN-KIT.
An installation frame is available which enables the
microwave oven to be integrated within a kitchen unit.
The microwave oven is not designed to be built
above or near a conventional oven.
SHARP recommend the use of the build in kit,
EBR-4800(SL), available from your SHARP dealer.
Only the use of this frame will guarantee the quality
and safety of the oven. When building, follow
installation instructions supplied for A type models
carefully.
IMPORTANT! 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 using an adaptor plug.
• If the plug or socket is loose or the power supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special cord. The exchange must be made by an
authorised SHARP service agent.
• When removing the plug from the socket always
grip the plug, never the cord as this may damage
the power supply cord and the connections inside
the plug.
• This product is fitted with a re-wireable plug.
Should it not be suitable for the socket outlet in
your home, remove the plug and fit an
appropriate type, observing the wiring code given
in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 62.
If you wish to remove or replace the plug supplied,
ensure the plug is removed properly and not cut off.
When replacing the plug please ensure that you use
a BSI or ASTA approved plug to BS1363, this should
be fitted with a brown coloured 13 amp fuse
approved by BSI or ASTA to BS1362. If you have
any doubt about electrical connection seek the help
of a qualified electrician.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring code
given in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 62.

improper use.
Oven Use:
•The oven is for domestic food preparation only.
•Never operate when empty.
•Do not leave or store anything inside the oven when
not in use.
•Never attempt to use the oven with the door open. It
is important not to force or tamper with the door
safety latches.
•Never operate the oven with any object caught in
the door.
•Do not insert fingers or objects in the holes of the door
latches or air-vent openings as this may damage the
oven and cause an electric shock.
•If water or food drops inside the air-vent openings
switch off the oven immediately, unplug it and call a
Service Technician appointed by SHARP.
(See page 63).
•Never move the oven while it is operating.
Fire: If smoke is observed, switch off and
unplug the appliance and keep the door
closed in order to stifle any flames.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

MICROWAVING
MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
Power level: The microwave power level is varied
by the microwave energy switching on and off.
When using power levels other than 100% you will
be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on
and off as the food cooks or defrosts.
IMPORTANT: The microwave power level will default
to 100% unless you select another power level.
Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power
level for cooking, follow the advice given in the
recipe section. Generally the following
recommendations apply:
100% (output = 900W) - used for fast cooking or
reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages,
vegetables etc.
70% (output = 630W) - used for longer cooking of
dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated
meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce
and sponge cakes.
50% (output = 450W) - for dense foods which
require a long cooking time when cooked
conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use
this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
30% (output = 270W Defrost setting) - to defrost,
select this power setting, to ensure that the dish
defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for
simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg
custard.
10% (output = 90W) - For gentle defrosting, eg.
cream gateaux or pastry.
Water, sugar and fat in food absorbs the microwaves
and causes 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 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.
NOTES:
•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.
•See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 31-32.

sensor technology. You can choose from 9 SensNcook menus and 6 SENSOR REHEAT menus.
Always refer to the SensNcook chart on pages 12-14 and the SENSOR REHEAT chart on page 15 before
operating these functions.
NOTES:
1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using SensNcook/SENSOR REHEAT.
2. Once a SensNcook/SENSOR REHEAT programme has started, do not open the door or press the
STOP/CLEAR key until the cooking time appears on the display, unless following instructions to stir or
turn over. During this time, Sensor technology senses humidity emitted from food as it heats and
determines the cooking time. Opening the door or stopping the oven disturbs the humidity content and
affects the cooking result.
3. Ensure food is thoroughly heated before serving. If additional heating is required, cook this manually.
4. Wipe off any moisture from the outside of cooking containers and the interior of the oven with a dry cloth
or paper towel prior to cooking on SensNcook/SENSOR REHEAT.
5. Each menu provides helpful cooking advice. To follow this advice, touch INFO on the screen
whenever it is shown.
6. If you want to alter the cooking results, touch ▼LESS or MORE ▲before pressing the
START/AUTO MINUTE key. For best results use the cooking chart instructions. See page 29 for details.
7. If food requires manipulation (i.e. turn over or stir) then open the door when the oven indicates, follow the
instructions, close the door and press the START/AUTO MINUTE key.
8. To cook food weighing more or less than the weights/quantities given in the cooking charts, cook
manually.
9. You can check the weight range in either Lb/oz or Kg/g. Select the desired weight unit from SET UP
before programming. See page 27.
