INSTALLATION
3. The minimum
height of free space
necessary above the
top surface of the
oven is 19cm.
4. 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).
Do not block or obstruct air vent openings.
Do not place objects on top of the oven.
5. Make sure the power supply cord is
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.
6. The socket must be readily accessible so that
it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.
7. Do not use the oven outdoors.
BUILDING-IN-KIT.
An installation frame is available which enables
the microwave oven to be integrated within a
kitchen unit.
The microwave oven is not designed to be built
above or near a conventional oven.
SHARP recommend the use of the build in kit
EBR-47ST, available from your SHARP dealer.
Only the use of this frame will guarantee the
quality and safety of the oven.
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 34.
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. 
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE
MUST BE EARTHED
To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring
code given in `To replace the mains plug’ on
page 34.

HEATING CATEGORY
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.
HOW YOUR OVEN WORKS
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 28).
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.

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.

BEFORE OPERATION
Your oven comes pre-set in Energy Save Mode (see page 8 for details).

The display will flash:
3. Close the door.
The display will show:
NOTES: In Energy Save Mode, if you do not operate the oven for 3 minutes or more (i.e. after
closing the door, pressing the STOP/CLEAR key, or at the end of cooking), you will not be
able to operate the oven until you open and close the oven door.
When new, the very first time the grills are used, smoke and odour will be given off.
To avoid this happening when food is being cooked, heat the grills without food for approx.
20 minutes. (Please refer to note on page 12.)

ENERGY SAVE MODE
Your oven has an Energy Save Mode.
This facility saves electricity when the oven is not
in use.
• If the oven is not used, it will default to Energy
Save Mode after 3 minutes. The display is blank
and the oven cannot be operated.

opposite. (This will restart Energy Save Mode.)
Notes:
• If you unplug your oven at any stage you will
have to reset the clock to cancel Energy Save
Mode.
• If the clock has been set, cancelling Energy
Save Mode, then your oven has a safety feature
which prevents INSTANT COOK and
START/AUTO MINUTE key from working
if the oven has not been in use for more than 3
minutes. Press the STOP/CLEAR key or
open and close the door to re-use the oven.
