GB-2
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 [ I lb 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.

HEATING CATEGORY
Microwaves will pass through certain materials, such
as glass and plastic, to heat the food. (See 'Suitable
Cookware' on page GB- 6).
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves 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 micro-
wave energy, then the heat moves to the centre by
conduction, as it does in conventional cooking. It is
important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating.
Once cooking is complete, the oven automatically
stops producing microwaves.
Standing time is necessary after cooking, as it enables
the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.
Microwaves are energy waves, similar to those used
for TV and radio signals.
Electrical energy is converted into microwave energy,
which is directed into the oven cavity via a waveguide.
To prevent food and grease entering the wave guide it
is protected by the waveguide cover.
Microwaves cannot pass through metal, because of
this the oven cavity is made of metal and there is a
fine metal mesh on the door. During cooking the
microwaves bounce o the sides of the oven cavity at
random.

OVEN AND ACCESSORIES
NOTES:
• The waveguide cover is fragile. Care should be taken when cleaning inside the oven to ensure that it is not
damaged.
• After cooking fatty foods without a cover, always clean the cavity and especially the grill heating element
thoroughly, these must be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or
catch fire.
• Always operate the oven with the turntable and turntable support fitted correctly. This promotes thorough,
even cooking. A badly fitted turntable may rattle, may not rotate properly and could cause damage to the
oven.
• All food and containers of food are always placed on the turntable for cooking.
• The turntable rotates clockwise or anti-clockwise. The rotary direction may change each time you start the
oven. This does not affect cooking performance.
WARNING:
The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, accessories and dishes will become very hot during operation.
To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves.

(20) Rack (21) Crisp plate
• Place the turntable support in the centre of the oven
floor so that it can freely rotate around the coupling.
Then place the turntable on to the turntable support
so that it locates firmly into the coupling.
• To avoid turntable damage, ensure dishes and
containers are lifted clear of the turntable rim when
removing them from the oven.
• For use of the rack, refer to the grilling sections on
page GB-21.
• The non stick coating crisp plate can be used in all
cooking modes. It is ideal for foods like oven chips,
pizza etc. or it can act as a splash guard, if you are
grilling food directly on the rack to keep the oven
clean.
Never touch the grill when it is hot.
NOTE: When you order accessories, please mention
two items: part name and model name to your
dealer or SHARP authorised service agent.

your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.
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 authorised SHARP
service agent.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden
boiling:
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be
heated in sealed containers since they are liable
to explode.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be
taken when handling the container.
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock

GB-11
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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
.
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. 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.
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.
