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.

Food packs carry cooking instructions for heating
categories A to E.  Follow instructions for the letter
corresponding to the oven’s heating category. The
higher the output power and heating category of the
oven the less heating time is required. As shown
opposite.
Oven Use:
• The oven is for domestic food preparation only.
• Never operate when empty, except as directed in
the operation manual (see page 10).
• Do not leave or store anything inside the oven
when not in use.
• Never attempt to use the oven with the door
open. It is important not to force or tamper with
the door safety latches.
• Never operate the oven with any object caught in
the door.
• Do not insert fingers or objects in the holes of the
door latches or air-vent openings as this may
damage the oven and cause an electric shock.     
• If water or food drops inside the air vent
openings switch off the oven immediately, unplug
it and call a Service Technician appointed by
SHARP. 
(See page 62).
• Never move the oven while it is operating.
• Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear
cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings,
accessories and dishes during GRILL mode,
DUAL GRILL mode  OVEN mode,  INSTANT
COOK
,  EXPRESS COOK and  AUTO COOK
operations, unless wearing thick oven gloves, as
they will become hot.  Before cleaning make sure
they are not hot.
Fire:  If smoke is observed, switch off and
unplug the appliance and keep the door
closed  in order to stifle any flames. 
Liquids: Microwave heating of beverages
can result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care has to be taken when
handling the container. Stir the liquid prior
to and during heating/reheating, let liquid
stand in the oven after cooking.

MICROWAVING
MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
Website: http://www.sharp.co.uk/support
Help Line: 08705 274277 (office hours)
Power level: The microwave power level is varied
by the microwave energy switching on and off.
When using power levels other than 100% you will
be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on
and off as the food cooks or defrosts. 
IMPORTANT: The microwave power level will default
to 100% unless you press the MICRO. POWER key
to the desired setting.
TO CHECK THE POWER LEVEL:
To check the microwave power level during cooking,
press the MICRO. POWER key. As long as your
finger is pressing the MICRO. POWER key the power
level will be displayed. The oven continues to count
down although the display will show the power level.
To change the power level for cooking, enter
the required time and then press the MICRO.
POWER 
key.
For example:
x1
100% (HIGH)
x2
70% (MED.HIGH)
x3
50% (MEDIUM)
x4
30% (MED.LOW)
x5
10% (LOW)
Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power
level for cooking, follow the advice given in the
recipe section. Generally the following
recommendations apply:
100% - (HIGH output = 900W) used for fast
cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot
beverages, vegetables etc.
70% - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 630W) used for
longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints,
meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes
such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes.
50% - (MEDIUM output = 450W) for dense foods
which require a long cooking time when cooked
conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use
this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
30% - (MEDIUM LOW output = 270W Defrost
setting) to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure
that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal
for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking
egg custard.
10% - (LOW output = 90W) For gentle defrosting,
eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
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 turnrearrange 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 24-25).
