INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
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 the door or door seals are damaged,
the oven must not be operated until it
has been repaired by a competent
person.
1.Remove all packing materials. 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.Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the
oven of 21cm.
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, as obstructions may
ignite due to the emission of hot air. Do not place
items on top of the oven.
5.Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged
(See Installation next page) 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.
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. This may result in exposure to
microwave energy.
• Never operate the oven with any object caught in
the door sealing surfaces, this again may cause
microwave leakage.
• 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.
• Never attempt to move the oven while it is
operating.
Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker,
consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer
prior to oven use.
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.
Do not allow anyone to play with the oven, or lean
or swing on the oven door.
Fire: If food overheats, starts to smoke
or burn: Keep oven door closed; Turn
oven off; Switch off the power at the
socket and disconnect the plug from the
socket. Failure to follow this procedure
may result in fire and oven damage.
Liquids: Take care when microwaving
liquids and beverages. To prevent
delayed eruptive boiling of liquid and
possible scalding: Stir liquid prior to and
during heating/reheating, let liquid stand
in the oven at the end of cooking.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

INSTALLATION
BUILDING-IN-KIT.
This oven is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit.
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 as the plug
may otherwise overheat and catch fire.
• Do not connect other appliances to the same socket
using an adaptor plug as it may cause the house
wiring to overheat and catch fire.
• 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. A defective plug,
power supply cord or socket may overheat and
catch fire during operation or cause an electrical
shock.
• When removing the plug from the socket always
grip the plug, never the mains lead as this may
damage the power supply cord and the
connections inside the plug.
• The 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 40.
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 40.

decide which power level is suitable, follow the advice
given in the charts; for defrosting see page 24, for
cooking see pages 25-26, for reheating see page 27.
Power level: The microwave power level is varied
by the microwave energy switching on and off.
When using power levels other than 100P (HIGH) you
will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on

Introduction:
Water, sugar and fat in food absorbs microwaves
and causes them to vibrate. This creates heat by
friction, in the same way your hands get warm when
you rub them together.
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 is not optional but necessary to
ensure thorough cooking and is particularly important
for dense food, such as joints of meat.
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 18 - 19).

GRILLING
DEFROSTING
To defrost foods not included in the Auto Defrost menu, use
microwave power levels 30P (MEDIUM LOW) or 10P (LOW). Stir
or turn food at least 2-3 times during defrosting.
After defrosting, cover food or wrap in aluminium foil and leave to
stand until thoroughly defrosted. Refer to the defrosting chart in the
cookbook section on page 24.
The grill at the top of the oven cavity has one power setting. Assisted by the turntable which rotates to ensure
even browning, the grill is both economical and ideal for cooking bacon, gammon steaks, fish fingers and tea
cakes or for making cheese on toast. It is also ideal for browning and crisping food which has been
microwaved.

It is not necessary to preheat the grill. Follow
recommended grilling times and procedures in the
cookbook section (Page 23).
It is recommended to use the rack for grilling small
items such as toast, bacon or steak, turn over
halfway through grilling. Place food directly on the
rack, in a flan dish or on a heat-resistant plate.
When browning or crisping foods in a casserole
dish, use the rack if the container is shallow enough.
However, it is advisable to place such containers
directly onto the turntable, allow a little extra time to
brown and crisp.

NOTE:
When first using the grill heater, smoke and odour will be given off. To avoid this happening when food is
being cooked, heat the grill heating element without food for approximately 20 minutes.

DUAL GRILLING
The DUAL GRILL feature enables a combination of
any one of three microwave power levels with the
grill, 10P (LOW), 30P (MEDIUM LOW), and 50P
(MEDIUM).
The combination of microwaves with the grill reduces
cooking time and provides a crisp, brown finish
giving you the convenience of fast cooking with a
traditional appetising appearance.
DUAL GRILL is pre-programmed to combine the grill
with 30P (MEDIUM LOW) microwave power. If you
wish to change the microwave power level, press the
DUAL GRILL or MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL key
until the desired power level is shown on the display. The
microwave power level will change.
Example:
To cook using DUAL GRILL, 50P (MEDIUM) microwave power for 15 minutes.
1. Press the 10 MINUTE key once and
the 1 MINUTE key five times to enter
a grilling time of 15 minutes.
