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

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.

BUILDING-IN-KIT.
This oven is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit.
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 power supply cord of this appliance is

damaged, it must be relaced by 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 24.

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.

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.

Power level: The microwave power level is varied
by the microwave energy switching on and off.

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 18-19)

Opening and closing the door:
To open the oven door, pull the door opening handle.  
Stopping the oven:
If you wish to stop the oven during cooking press
STOP/CLEAR key or open the oven door.  To start
the oven, close the door and press START/AUTO
MINUTE key. If you wish to cancel the cooking
programme, press STOP/CLEAR key twice. 

Prepare and place food in a suitable container on to
the turntable, or directly on the turntable. Close the
door.

Press the 10 SEC key
