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 the 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 19cm.
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.
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-
4500, 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 (for B type) supplied 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 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 41.
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 41.

MAFF HEATING CATEGORY
The heating category (a letter A to E) developed by
MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food)
with microwave oven and food manufacturers
indicates the ability of the oven to heat small
quantities of food (up to 500g [1lb 2oz]). It does
not represent the general performance of the oven.

Food packs carry cooking instructions for heating
categories A to E. Follow instructions for the letter
corresponding to the oven’s heating category. The
higher the output power and heating category of
the oven the less heating time is required. As
shown opposite.
Enter required time and select the power level:
There are 5 microwave power levels:

IMPORTANT: The microwave power level will default
to 100P (HIGH) unless you press the MICROWAVE
POWER LEVEL key to the desired setting. To help you
decide which power level is suitable, follow the advice
given in the charts; for defrosting see page 25, for
cooking see pages 26-27, for reheating see page 28.
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
and off as the food cooks or defrosts.

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 19-20).
