If necessary, you can extend the cooking manually.

•  The results when using auto cook depend on variances such as the shape and size of the food and your 

personal preference as regards cooking results. If you are not satisfi ed with the programmed result, please 
adjust the cooking time to match your requirement.

properly, please press STOP/CLEAR key once and open 
the oven door and adjust the bag position to ensure 
even cooking.

GB-17

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.

Aluminium foil 
Foil Containers

✔ / ✘

✔

Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield 
food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the 
oven walls, as arcing may occur.
Foil containers are not recommended unless specifi ed 
by the manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil ®, follow instructions 
carefully.

Browning dishes

✔

✘

Always follow the manufacturers instructions.
Do not exceed heating times given. Be very careful as 
these dishes become very hot.

China and ceramics

✔ / ✘

✘

Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china 
are usually suitable, except for those with metallic 
decoration.

Glassware e.g. Pyrex ®

✔

✔

Care should be taken if using fi ne glassware as it can 
break or crack if heated suddenly.

Metal

✘

✔

It is not recommended to use metal cookware as it will 
arc, which can lead to fi re.

Plastic/Polystyrene e.g fast 
food containers

✔

✘

Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or 
discolour at high temperatures.

Cling fi lm

✔

✘

It should not touch the food and must be pierced to 
let the steam escape.

Freezer/Roasting bags

✔

✘

Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are 
suitable for microwave use.

Paper - Plates, cups and 
kitchen paper

✔

✘

Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or 
catch fi re due to the metal ‘arcing’.

Straw and wooden 
Containers

✔

✘

Only use for warming or to absorb moisture.
Care must be taken as overheating may cause fi re.

Recycled paper and 
newspaper

✘

✔

Always attend the oven when using these materials as 
overheating may cause fi re.
May contain extracts of metal which will cause ‘arcing’ 
and may lead to fi re.

C AUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN 
C L E A N E R S ,   S T E A M   C L E A N E R S ,   A B R A S I V E , 
HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM 
HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF 
YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, 
oven cabinet and accessories are completely cool.
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND 
REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS - Keep the oven 
clean, or the oven could lead to a deterioration of 
the surface. This could adversely aff ect the life of 
the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous 
situation.
Oven exterior
The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with 
mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off  
with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft 
towel.
Control panel
Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the 
control panel. Care should be taken in cleaning the 
control panel. Using a cloth dampened with water 
only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean.
Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use 
any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.
Oven Interior
1. For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft 
damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven 
is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and 
wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues 

are removed. Built-up splashes may overheat and 
begin to smoke or catch fi re, and cause arcing. Do not 
remove the waveguide cover.
2. Make sure that mild soap or water does not 
penetrate the small vents in the walls which may 
cause damage to the oven.
3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.
4. Heat up your oven regularly by using the grill and 
heat the oven without food for 20 minutes on grill 
(page GB-11). Remaining food or fat splashed can 
cause smoke or bad smell.
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.
Accessories
The accessories like turntable, turntable support and 
rack should be washed in a mild washing up liquid 
solution and dried. They are dishwasher safe.
Door
To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides 
of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a 
soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaner.
NOTE: A steam cleaner should not be used.

Cleaning tip - For easier cleaning of your oven:
Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% for 10 -12 minutes.
Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.

GB-19

•  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.

Keep the power supply cord away from heated 
surface. 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. Programme 
the oven to cook for I minute using 100% microwave 
power.

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 I minute does the audible signal sound?
5.  Is the water in the cup hot?
6.  After 3 minutes, does the grill heating element 

become red?

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 troubleshooting chart below.

Draught circulates 
around the door.

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.

Condensation forms 
in the oven, and may 
drip 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.

Flashing or arcing 
from within the 
cavity when cooking.

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.

Arcing potatoes.

Ensure all "eyes" are removed from the potatoes and that they have been pierced, place 
directly onto the turntable or in a heat resistant fl an dish or similar.

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

Check the door is closed properly.

Oven cooks too 
slowly.

Ensure correct power level has been selected.

Oven makes a noise.

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

Outer cabinet is hot.

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