Ensure the water tank is filled with room 
temperature drinking water before cooking 
with steam.
1. Pull the water tank towards you to remove. (Figure 1)
2. Wash the water tank when using for the fi rst time. 
3. Fill the water tank as per Figure 2. Only use room 

temperature drinking water and ensure you fi ll  the 
tank to the MAX mark (do not over fi ll) (Figure 2) Do 
not fi ll the water tank over the MAX mark.

4. Make sure the lid is closed fi rmly.
5. Install the water tank by pushing it fi rmly back into 

place. (Figure 3)

6. After cooking, empty the water tank and wash the 

water tank and the lid.

NOTES:
1.  Do not use any other liquids like distilled water,  

mineral water and etc.

2. An insuffi cient amount of water in the water tank 

may cause an undesired result.

3.  We recommend that you empty the water tank 

every time after cooking. Do not leave the water 
tank fi lled with water in the oven over a day. 

4.  If "Err, WATER (fl ashing)" is shown in the display 

during Steam cooking, refer to Troubleshooting 
Chart on page 21. The message will not appeared 
in Descale function.

5.  Do not drop or damage the water tank. Heat may 

cause the water tank to change shape. Do not use 
a damaged water tank. Consult your dealer or an 
authorised SHARP service agent.

6.  There may be a few water drops when removing 

the water tank. Wipe the oven dry with a soft cloth.

7.  Do not block the air holes on the lid of the water 

tank. It will cause trouble during cooking.

Ensure the drip tray is in position before 
cooking.
The drip tray is packed with the oven. Place the drip 
tray under the oven door as shown in Figure 4. This 
drip tray collects the condensation from the oven door. 
To remove the drip tray: Pull the drip tray toward 
you with both hands.
* Make sure water is not dripping down before 

removing the drip tray.

To replace the drip tray: Place the drip tray onto the 
right and left hooks under the oven and push fi rmly  as 
shown in Figure 4. Insert the drip tray horizontally when 
you attach it. Improper use may cause the damage to the 
hooks.

Empty the drip tray after each use.  
Empty, rinse thoroughly, dry and replace. Failure to 
empty the tray may cause it to overfl ow.

WARNINGS:
1. The oven will become very hot after cooking and draining water function.
2. Do not open the oven with your face close to the oven. Steam from the oven may cause burns.
3. Make sure that the oven has cooled before emptying the water tank and the drip tray and then wipe the oven cav-

ity.

4. Do not touch the water directly as water in the drip tray may be hot.

1. Make sure the water tank is fi lled with room temperature drinking water and is installed correctly. (See page 7.)
2. Make sure the empty drip tray is installed. (See page 7.)
3. Place food in the oven. Make sure to place the glass tray in lower position (position 2) for cooking with steam 

mode.

1. After the oven has cooled, remove and empty the water tank, wipe oven cavity. Be aware that the grill heating 

element and steam outlets may be still hot, so take care when wiping the ceiling and cavity back plate. (The 
grill heating element will turn on for a very short time before the end of the cooking.) Wait a few minutes, then 
empty the drip tray.

2. Perform the Drain Water function at least once a day after empty the water tank and wipe the oven cavity.
3. Check that water is not dripping down before removing the drip tray, as a small amount of water drains into 

the drip tray when the water tank is removed.

4. During and after cooking, condensed water may be on the door, oven walls and oven fl oor. Dry any liquid 

residue with a soft cloth. After the last use of the day, we recommend to operate the oven with Grill for 3 
minutes without food and accessories for drying the water off around grill heating element.

WARNING: Do not open the oven with your face close to the oven. Steam from the oven may cause burns.
NOTE: Keep the door closed. If opened during cooking, steam will escape and a longer cooking time will be 
required.

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.

Pure citric acid, available at some chemists, or 
bottled 100% lemon juice with no pulp are used 
for descaling. Choose one and prepare the 
descaling solution.
To use pure citric acid, dissolve 1 tablespoon of 
pure citric acid crystals in 500ml of water in a 
non-porous container. Stir well and pour into the 
water tank to the MAX mark.
To use 100% bottled lemon juice, check that 
there is absolutely no pulp in it. If there is 
pulp or you are not sure, strain through a fi ne 
strainer. Measure 70ml of the strained lemon 
juice and add it to 500ml of water. Stir well and 
pour into the water tank to the MAX mark.
Place the water tank in the oven correctly and 
push fi rmly into place.
