BUILDING-IN-KIT.
An installation frame is available which enables the
microwave oven to be integrated within a kitchen unit.
The microwave oven is not designed to be built above
or near a conventional oven.
SHARP recommend the use of the build in kit, EBR-
4500, available from your SHARP dealer.  Only the
use of this frame will guarantee the quality and safety
of the oven.  When building, follow installation
instructions supplied for A type models carefully.

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 plug or socket is loose or the power supply

cord is damaged, it must be replaced with 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.

• This 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 25.

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. 

To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring code given in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 25.

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.

pages 30-34, for reheating see page 35. 
Power level: The microwave power level is varied
by the microwave energy switching on and off.

When using power levels other than 100P (HIGH)
you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing
on and off as the food cooks or defrosts.

Introduction:
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves
which 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. Only use utensils that are
suitable for microwave ovens.
(See suitable cookware, pages 18 - 19).

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

Prepare and place food in suitable container onto the
turntable or directly onto the turntable. Close the door.
Example:
To cook on 70P (MEDIUM) for 30 seconds.

Press the 10 SEC key
