OVENWARE
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.

CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS, STEAM
CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN
SODIUM HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF
YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY

3. Do not use spray cleaners on the oven interior.
Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
The waveguide cover is constructed from a fragile material and
should be cleaned with care (follow the cleaning instructions
above).
NOTE: Excessive soaking may cause disintegration of the waveguide

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.

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 using 100% microwave
power.
1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking?

TROUBLESHOOTING
TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG
IMPORTANT
• The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the plug
disposed of in a safe manner.
• Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted into
a socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.
• The plug must not be used without the fuse cover fi tted.
If you have any doubt about your microwave oven obtain the help
of a qualified electrician. When replacing the plug please ensure
that you use a BSI or ASTA approved plug to BS1363, this should be
fi tted with a brown coloured 13 amp fuse approved by BSI or ASTA
to BSI 362. If you have any doubt about electrical connection seek
the help of a qualifi ed electrician.

As the colours in the mains lead of your oven may not correspond
with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug,

Make sure the terminal screws are tight and the cable is held
securely by the cable grip where it enters the plug.
Like most appliances in your home, your oven must be connected to a
single phase 230-240V~, 50Hz alternating current supply.
If you do not make the proper electrical connections you might
damage the oven or injure yourself. Neither SHARP nor the supplier
will be liable if this happens.
