Excess water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior.
• Slight tarnishing of the oven cavity, around the area of the grills, is likely to occur. This is normal
and will not affect the ovens performance.

TROUBLESHOOTING
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.

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 against the troubleshooting

• 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,

• 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.
