MICROWAVE AND GRILL POWER LEVELS
There are 9 microwave and grill power levels available as listed below.
The microwave power level is varied by the microwave energy switching on and o. When using power levels other
than HIGH you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on and o as the food cooks or defrosts.
Generally the following recommendations apply:
High= used for fast cooking or reheating
e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
M.High= used for longer cooking
of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and
plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as sponge
cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will cook evenly
without over cooking at the sides.
Med= for dense foods which require
a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g.
beef casserole, it is advisable to use this power setting
to ensure the meat will be tender.
M.Low= 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 P
LOW= for gentle defrosting, e.g. cream
gateaux or pastry.
MICROWAVE AND GRILL COOKING

SUITABLE OVENWARE
DEFROSTING GUIDE
This guide is designed to make defrosting specic foods easier.
It can be used for defrosting: Chicken portions, chops, sh (whole or llets), minced meat and sausages.
Example: To defrost 0.4 kg of chicken portions:
1. Place chicken portions in a flan dish, and place on the turntable into the oven.
2. Turn the MICROWAVE POWER CONTROL knob to DEFROST setting (MEDIUM LOW).
3. Turn the TIMER/ DEFROST GUIDE to 0.4 kg setting. The oven will start immediately. Turn the chicken por-
tions over 1-2 times during defrosting.
4. After d
efrosting, cover the food in foil and leave to stand until thoroughly defrosted.
Note: The defrosting time is based on standard conditions. Please check the defrosting result and, if necessary, ad-
just the defrosting times accordingly.
To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to
penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.
Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety
of cookware can be used as listed below.

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING: Never adjust, repair or modify the oven
yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than
a SHARP trained engineer to carry out servicing
or repairs. This is important as it may involve the
removal of covers that provide protection against
microwave energy.
• The door seal stops microwave leakage during oven
operation, but does not form an airtight seal. It is
normal to see drops of water, light or feel warm air
around the oven door. Food with a high moisture
content will release steam and cause condensation
inside the door which may drip from the oven.
• Repairs and Modifications: Do not attempt to
operate the oven if it is not working properly.
• Outer Cabinet & Lamp Access: Never remove the
outer cabinet. This is very dangerous due to high
voltage parts inside which must never be touched,
as this could be fatal.
Your oven is not fitted with a lamp access cover. If
the lamp fails, do not attempt to replace the lamp
Keep the power supply cord away from heated
surface. If you think the oven is not working properly
there are some simple checks you can carry out
yourself before calling an engineer.
Follow this simple check below: Place half a cup of
water on the turntable and close the door. Programme
the oven to cook for 1 minute .
1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking?
2. Does the turntable rotate?
4. After 1 minute does the audible signal sound?
5. Is the water in the cup hot?
6. After 3 minutes, does the grill heating element
become red?
If you answer "NO" to any question, first check that
the oven is plugged in properly and the fuse has not
blown. If there is no fault with either, check against
the troubleshooting chart below.
TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
QUERY ANSWER
Draught circulates
around the door.
When the oven is working, air circulates within the cavity.
The door does not form an airtight seal so air may escape from the door.
Condensation forms
in the oven, and may
drip from the door.
The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so steam
produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface. The amount of steam
produced depends on the water content of the food being cooked. Some foods, such
as potatoes have a high moisture content. Condensation trapped in the door glass
should clear after a few hours.
Flashing or arcing
from within the
cavity when cooking.
Arcing will occur when a metallic object comes into close proximity to the oven cavity
during cooking. This may possibly roughen the surface of the cavity, but would not
otherwise damage the oven.
Arcing potatoes. Ensure all "eyes" are removed from the potatoes and that they have been pierced, place
directly onto the turntable or in a heat resistant an dish or similar.
