Take care not to let soapy water drip through the
small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor
particularly if the turntable and turntable support are
removed. Excess water spillage through these holes
will cause damage to the oven interior. It is
important that the door seals and sealing surfaces
are kept clean at all times, wipe regularly with a
damp cloth.
Heat up your oven regularly by using both grill
elements, refer to page 11.
Remaining food or fat splashed on the oven interior
can cause smoke or a bad smell.
To prevent splashing, cover food wherever possible.

• Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. 

If you leave grease or fat in the cavity, it may
overheat, smoke or even catch fire when 
next using the oven. Do not remove the
waveguide cover.

• Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive

scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.

• After Grill, Dual Cook, Convection, Instant Cook,

Express Cook and Meal In One modes, the oven
cavity, door, oven cabinet and accessories will
become very hot. Before cleaning, make sure they
have cooled down.

OUTER CABINET
Wipe the outside cabinet with a mild detergent
solution on a soft cloth. The control panel must be
wiped clean whilst the door is open, therefore
deactivating the oven.

ACCESSORIES
Racks should be washed in a mild washing-up liquid
solution and dried.  They are dishwasher safe.

TURNTABLE
Ensure the turntable is cleaned after every use with
a mild washing-up liquid solution and dried. The
turntable is dishwasher safe. This should prevent a
build up of grease and food debris.

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.
Simply answer “YES” or “NO” to the following questions:

1. Does the oven lamp come on when you open the

door? 

YES/NO

(Put half a cup of water in the oven, on the turntable
and close the door. Select 100% and programme the
oven to cook for 1 minute.)

2. Does the oven lamp come on?

YES/NO

3. Does the turntable rotate?

YES/NO

4. Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing your

hand above the air-vent openings)

YES/NO

5. After 1 minute does the "beep" sound? YES/NO
6. Is the water in the cup hot?

YES/NO

(Take the cup out of the oven and close the door. Set
the grill time for the top and bottom grill for 3 minutes.)

7. At the end of 3 minutes do both the grill elements

become red?

YES/NO

(Programme the oven on convection 180°C for 3
minutes.)

8. Does the oven lamp come on?

YES/NO

9. Does the turntable rotate?

YES/NO

10. After 3 minutes is the oven cavity hot? YES/NO

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 the troubleshooting
chart on page 65.

• 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 & Modifications: Do not attempt to operate

the oven if it is not working properly. 

• Outer Cabinet & Lamp Access:  Never remove the

outer cabinet. This would be very dangerous due to
high voltage parts inside which must never be
touched, as this could be fatal. As 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.

NOTES:
The following cooking conditions should not cause
concern:
1. If you cook food for more than the standard time 

(see chart opposite) at the same power level, the
oven’s safety mechanisms will automatically
activate. The microwave power level will be
reduced and the grill heating elements will turn
on and off.

2. After Grill, Dual Cooking, Convection, Instant

Cook, Express Cook and Meal in One modes, the
cooling fan will switch on for cooling 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 show
the time of day, if set.
During these modes, the cooling fan will also
work when you press the STOP/CLEAR key. You
may feel air blowing out of the air-vent openings.

IMPORTANT: If the display shows nothing even if the power plug is properly connected, the energy save
mode should carry on. To release it, open and then close the oven door. See page 8.

When oven is working, air circulates within the cavity. The door does not form an
airtight seal, so it is normal for air to escape from the door.

The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so steam
produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface. The amount of steam
produced depends on the water content of the food being cooked. Some foods,
such as potatoes have a high moisture content. Condensation trapped in the door
glass should clear after a few hours.

Arcing will occur when a metallic object comes into close proximity to the oven cavity
during cooking. This may possibly roughen the surface of the cavity, but would not
otherwise damage the oven. 

Ensure all “eyes” are removed and stand directly onto the turntable or in a heat
resistant flan dish or similar.

Check the door is closed properly.

Ensure correct power level has been selected.

The microwave energy pulses ON/OFF during cooking/defrosting.

The cabinet may become hot to the touch - keep children away.

Outer cabinet/door is hot.

Draught circulates around
the door.

Flashing or arcing from
within the cavity when
cooking.
Arcing potatoes.

After setting the time, the
oven does not start.

Oven cooks too slowly.
Oven makes a noise.

Condensation forms in the
oven, and may drip from
the door.

The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as
shown opposite:

As the colours of the cores in the mains lead of your
oven may not correspond with the coloured marking
identifying the terminals in your plug, connect the
wires as shown opposite.
Make sure the terminal screws are tight and the cable
is held securely by the cable grip where it enters the
plug. Like most appliances in your home, your oven
must be connected to a single phase  230-240 Volt,
50Hz alternating current supply.
If you do not make the proper electrical connections
you might damage the oven or injure yourself.  Neither
SHARP nor the supplier will be liable if this happens.
