GB-16

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 specified by the manufacturer, e.g. 
Microfoil®, follow instructions carefully.

Browning dishes

GB-17

ENGLISH

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.

Oven controls
Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the 
oven controls. Care should be taken when cleaning 
the oven control. 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 away 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 the 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. H e a t   u p   y o u r   o v e n   r e g u l a r l y   b y   u s i n g   t h e 

convection and grill. Remaining food or fat splashed 
can cause smoke or bad smell.

5. Food will release steam during cook ing 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.

SPECIAL NOTE for WAVEGUIDE COVER: 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).
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.

SPECIAL NOTE for TURNTABLE SUPPORT:
After cooking, always clean the turntable support, 
especially around the rollers. These must be free from 
food splashes and grease. Built-up splashes or grease 
may overheat and cause arcing, begin to smoke or 
catch fi re.

Door
To remove all traces of dirt, regularly clean both sides 
of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a 
soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners 
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass oven door 
since they can scratch the surface, which may result in 
shattering of the glass.

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-18

•  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.

IMPORTANT:
If you cook food for more than the standard time 
(see chart below) using the same cooking mode, the 
oven's safety mechanisms automatically activate. The 
microwave power level will be reduced or the grill 
heating element will turn on and off .

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 grill.

6.  After 3 minutes, does the grill heating element 

become red?

 

Programme the oven to cook for 3 minutes using 
the convection on 250°C.

7.  After 3 minutes, is the oven cavity hot?
 

If you answer “NO” to any question fi rst 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:
• Safety powerdowns:
  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, 

Combi 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 key and the 
display will return to “. 0”. During these modes, the 
cooling fan will carry on working after you have 
pressed the STOP/CLEAR key. You may feel hot air 
blowing out of the air-vent openings.
