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

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.

NOTE:
If you cook food for more than the standard time
(see chart below) using the same cooking mode, the

• 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.

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.
