•  It is important to clean the interior of your 

microwave oven after each use.

•  To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent 

solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm 
water on a soft cloth.

•  Food and liquid splashes will build-up on the 

oven walls and ceiling. If grease, fat and food 
debris is allowed to build-up in the oven 
interior it may overheat, smoke or even catch 
fire when next using the oven.

• 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 cover.
The waveguide cover is a consumable part 
and without regular cleaning, will need to be 
replaced.

•  Food will release steam during cooking and 

cause condensation inside the oven and door. 
It is important to wipe the oven dry. A build-
up of condensation will eventually lead to rust 
forming on the oven interior.

•  Do not allow grease or dirt to build-

•  Ensure the turntable and roller stay are cleaned 

after every use with a mild washing-up liquid 
solution and dried. This will prevent the build-
up of grease and food debris.
The turntable is dishwasher safe.

•  CLEAN THE  OVEN AT  REGULAR 

NOTES:
•  Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.
•  A steam cleaner should not be used. 
•  Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor. 

Excess water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior.

•  Wipe the outside of the microwave oven with 

a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up 
liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.

•  The control panel must be wiped clean 

and dried with the door open, therefore 
inactivating the oven.

If you think the oven is not working properly there 
are some simple checks you can carry out yourself 
before calling an engineer. This will help prevent 
unnecessary service calls if the fault is something 
simple.
Follow this simple check below:
Place half a cup of water on the turntable and 
close the door. Select HIGH and programme the 
oven to cook for 1 minute.
1.  Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking?
2.  Does the turntable rotate?
3.  Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing 

your hand above the air vent openings.)

4.  After 1 minute does the audible signal sound?
5.  Is the water in the cup hot?
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 chart below.

•  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 yourself, call a SHARP 
approved service facility.

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.

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.

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. 

Ensure all “eyes” are removed and the potatoes have been pierced, place 
directly onto the turntable or in a heat resistant flan dish or similar.

Check the door is closed properly.

Ensure correct power level has been selected.

The microwave energy pulses ON and OFF during cooking/defrosting.

The cabinet may become warm to the touch - keep children away.

Draught circulates 
around the door.

Condensation forms in 
the oven, and may drip 
from the door.

Flashing or arcing from 
within the cavity when 
cooking.

Arcing potatoes.

The display is lit but the 
control panel will not 
work when pressed.

Oven cooks too slowly.

Oven makes a noise.

Outer cabinet is hot.

NOTE:
If you cook food for more than the standard time 
(see chart below) using the same cooking mode, the 
oven’s safety mechanisms automatically activate. The 
microwave power level will be reduced.

Microwave HIGH cooking

The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as 
shown:
Green and yellow stripes 

= 

Blue = 

Brown = 

As the colours in the mains lead of your oven 
may not correspond with the coloured marking 
identifying the terminals in your plug, connect the 
wires as described:
•  The green and yellow wire to the plug terminal 

marked E or   

  or coloured green or 

coloured green and yellow.

•  The blue wire to the plug terminal marked N 

or coloured black or coloured blue.

•  The brown wire to the plug terminal marked L 

or coloured red or coloured brown.

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.

•  If you are unable to resolve a problem using 

the checks covered on the last few pages, do 
not attempt to service this microwave 
oven yourself.

•  Contact the dealer or supplier from whom the 

oven was purchased in order to obtain service. 
Where this is not possible, please contact the 
SHARP Customer Information Centre.
Telephone: 08705 274277 (office hours).
