DEFROSTING ADVICE
Using your microwave oven is the quickest
defrosting method.
It is a simple process but the following
instructions are essential to ensure the food is
thoroughly defrosted.
• Remove all packaging and wrapping before
defrosting.
• To defrost food, use microwave power levels
30% or 10%.
• Please refer to the defrosting chart on page 36
for further information.
Rearrange
Separate
Shield
Stand
Turn over
Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than
foods in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4
times during defrosting.
Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange
over-lapping areas.
This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.
Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important
to separate foods as soon as it is possible during defrosting.
e.g. bacon rashers, chicken fillets.
Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. To prevent them
becoming warmer and starting to cook, these areas can be shielded with small
pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves, e.g. legs and wings on a chicken.
Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted.
Defrosting is not complete once the food is removed from the microwave
oven. Food must stand, covered, for a length of time to ensure the centre has
completely defrosted.
It is essential that all foods are turned over up to 4 times during defrosting.
This is important to ensure thorough defrosting.

REHEATING ADVICE
Plated meals
Sliced meat
Poultry portions
Casseroles
Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat
these separately, see below.
Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate,
larger and thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented
microwave cling film and reheat on 50%, stir/rearrange
halfway through reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before
serving.
Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on
50%. Rearrange at least once to ensure even reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the meat is thoroughly reheated before
serving.
Place thickest parts of the portions to the outside of the
dish, cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat
on 70%.
Turn over halfway through reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the poultry is thoroughly reheated
before serving.
Cover with vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid
and reheat on 50%.
Stir frequently to ensure even reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before
serving.
For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly
reheated before serving.
NOTES:
• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.
• Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with
the size, shape and material of the container.
• To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or
fat content, e.g. mince pies or Christmas pudding.
• Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire.
• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions on the can.
To achieve the best results when reheating, select a suitable microwave power level appropriate to the
type of food. e.g. A bowl of vegetables can be reheated using 100%, while a lasagne which contains
ingredients that cannot be stirred, should be reheated using 50%.
Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the
contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken
and the temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
OVEN INTERIOR
• It is important to clean the interior of your
microwave oven after each use.
• To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent
solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm
water on a soft cloth.
• Food and liquid splashes will build-up on the
oven walls and ceiling. If grease, fat and food
debris is allowed to build-up in the oven
interior it may overheat, smoke or even catch
fire when next using the oven.
• 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.
• Food will release steam during cooking and
cause condensation inside the oven and door.
It is important to wipe the oven dry. A build-
up of condensation will eventually lead to rust
forming on the oven interior.
• Do not allow grease or dirt to build-up
on the door seals or areas around the
door. This may prevent the door from
closing correctly and may cause a
leakage of microwaves (follow the
cleaning instructions opposite).
• Ensure the turntable and accessories are
cleaned after every use with a mild washing-up
liquid solution and dried. This will prevent the
build-up of grease and food debris.
The turntable and accessories are dishwasher
safe.
OUTER CABINET
• Wipe the outside of the microwave oven with
a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up
liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.
• The control panel must be wiped clean and
dried with the door open, therefore
inactivating the oven.
GRILLS
• It is important to keep the grills clean at all
times.
• Food and liquid splashes build-up and stick to
the grills, which may cause smoke and possibly
fire when next using the oven (follow the
cleaning instructions above).
NOTES:
• Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.
• A steam cleaner should not be used.
• Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor.
Excess water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior.
• Slight tarnishing of the oven cavity, around the area of the grills, is likely to occur. This is normal and
will not affect the ovens performance.
• Failure to maintain your oven in a clean condition could adversely affect the life of the oven and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
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.
WARNING:
The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, turntable, dishes, accessories and especially the grills
will become very hot during operation. To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves.

TROUBLESHOOTING
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
1 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 1 minute does the audible signal sound?
5. Is the water in the cup hot?
Take the cup of water out of the oven and close
the door. Programme the oven to cook for 3
minutes using the top and bottom grills.
6. After 3 minutes, do both the grill heating
elements become red?
Programme the oven to cook for 3 minutes using
the convection on 180ºC.
7. After 3 minutes, is the oven cavity 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 troubleshooting chart on the
following page.
NOTES:
• If you cook food for more than the standard
time (see chart opposite) using the same
cooking mode, the oven’s safety mechanisms
automatically activate. The microwave power
level will be reduced or the grill heating
elements will turn on and off.
• After manual or automatic cooking using the
Grill, Dual Cook or Convection modes, the
cooling fan will switch on to cool the oven
cavity. When the cooling fan works, the display
may show “NOW COOLING”. To clear it,
press the STOP/CLEAR button and the
display will return to the time of day, if set.
During these modes, the cooling fan will carry
on working after you have pressed the
STOP/CLEAR button. You may feel hot air
blowing out of the air-vent openings.
IMPORTANT:
If the display is blank and has gone dark, even if
the power plug is properly connected, the oven
may be in Energy Save Mode. To cancel it, open
and then close the oven door, see page 9.
• 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.
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.
