floor. Ensure it is strong enough to take the
oven weight, plus the heaviest item likely to be
cooked in the oven.

4. The minimum height of free

space necessary above the
top surface of the oven is
15cm.

5. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or

high humidity are generated, (for example,
near or above a conventional oven) or near
combustible materials (for example, curtains).

15 cm

Do not block or obstruct air vent openings.
Do not place objects on top of the oven.

6. Make sure the power supply cord and plug are

undamaged (See “ELECTRICAL CONNECTION”
opposite). Do not allow the power supply
cord to run over any hot or sharp
surfaces, such as the hot air vent area at
the top rear of the oven.

7. The socket must be readily accessible so that it

can be easily unplugged in an emergency.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
• Do not allow water to come into contact with the

power supply cord or plug.

• Insert the plug properly into the socket.
• Do not connect other appliances to the same

socket using an adaptor plug.

• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be

replaced by a SHARP approved service facility
or a similarly qualified person to avoid a
hazard. 

• When removing the plug from the socket always

grip the plug, never the cord as this may
damage the power supply cord and the
connections inside the plug.

• If the plug fitted to your oven is a rewireable

type and in the event of the socket outlet in your
home not being compatible with the plug
supplied, remove the plug properly (do not cut
off). 

• If the plug fitted to your oven is a non-rewirable

type and in the event of the socket outlet in your
home not being compatible with the plug
supplied, cut-off the mains plug.

• Refit with a suitable type, observing the wiring

code given in `To replace the mains plug’ on
page 39.

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 SHARP approved service facility.

• Never move the oven while it is operating.
• Accessible parts (e.g. oven door, oven cavity,

these areas when using or cleaning the oven.
To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves.

IMPORTANT!
• The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed

and the plug disposed of in a safe manner.

• Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug

be inserted into a socket outlet as a serious
electric shock may occur.

• The plug must not be used without the fuse cover

fitted.

• If you have any doubt about your microwave

oven obtain the help of a qualified electrician.

• 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.

Microwaves are energy waves, similar to those
used for TV and radio signals.

Electrical energy is converted into microwave
energy, which is directed into the oven cavity via a
waveguide. To prevent food and grease entering
the wave guide it is protected by the waveguide
cover.

Microwaves cannot pass through metal, because of
this the oven cavity is made of metal and there is a
fine metal mesh on the door.
During cooking the microwaves bounce off the
sides of the oven cavity at random.

Microwaves will pass through certain materials,
such as glass and plastic, to heat the food.
(See “Suitable Cookware” on page 24).

Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves
which cause them to vibrate. This creates heat by
friction, in the same way your hands get warm
when you rub them together.

The outer areas of the food are heated by the microwave
energy, then the heat moves to the centre by conduction,
as it does in conventional cooking. It is important to turn,
rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating.

Once cooking is complete, the oven automatically
stops producing microwaves.

Standing time is necessary after cooking, as it enables
the heat to disperse equally throughout the food.

1. When you first connect the microwave oven to an

electrical socket, the digital display will show " .  ".

2. Heat the oven without food. (See "HEATING

WITHOUT FOOD” on page 9).

•You can input the keys only when the door is closed.
•Oven lamp works whenever the door is 

opened.

• After the timer reaches zero " .0", the     

cooking mode information will remain on the
display for 3 minutes after you open and 
close the door. 3 minutes later, the display 
will return to " .  ". To clear immediately, press 
the STOP/CLEAR key.

•  The programme, memory setting or check 

mode will be cancelled after 3 minutes 
unless a key is pressed.

There are 2 different beep options and silent
mode on your oven.
To select either beep, press the SET key and hold
for 3 seconds, then press the number 1 key for a
long beep, number 2 key for short beeps or press
number 0 key the silent mode.

To keep the desired sound, press the SET key
again.

•  If you wish to stop the oven during cooking:

Press the STOP/CLEAR key once, or open the 
door.

• If you wish to cancel a programme during 

cooking, press the STOP/CLEAR key twice.

•  If you wish to erase a mistake during 

programming, press the STOP/CLEAR key once.
