CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
OVEN INTERIOR
Clean the microwave oven cavity after
each use with a mild detergent solution on
a soft cloth, pay special attention to the
waveguide cover.
Clean the microwave oven cavity after
each use with a mild detergent solution on
a soft cloth, pay special attention to the
waveguide cover.
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.
Remaining food or fat splashed on the oven interior
can cause smoke or a bad smell.
To prevent splashing, cover food wherever possible.

• 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 your
dealer or SHARP approved service facility (see page
