IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
 
 
 WARNING:
Inspect the Oven:
•  Check the oven carefully for damage 
before and regularly after installation.
•  Make sure the door closes properly, 
that it is not misaligned or warped.
•  Check the hinges and door safety 
latches are not broken or loose.
•  Ensure the door seal and sealing 
surfaces are not damaged. If the door 
or door seals are damaged, the oven 
must not be operated until it has been 
repaired by a competent person.
•  Inspect the oven interior and door for 
dents.
IMPORTANT:

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” below). 
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

BUILDING-IN-KIT.
This oven is designed for counter top or built-in
use. Do not place the oven in a cabinet.
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.

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.
