MICROWAVING - INTRODUCTION
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves and
causes their molecules to vibrate. This creates heat by
friction, in the same way your hands get warm when
you rub them together.
The outer areas of food are heated by microwave
energy and the remaining portions by conduction. It is
important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating. Where recommended, allow food to
stand, this is not optional but is necessary to ensure
thorough cooking. It is particularly important for dense
food, such as joints of meat.
NOTES:
• Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and
utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.
• Microwaves are reflected by metal.
• The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic
mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage.
• Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving.
• See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 26-27.
HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN
Opening and closing the door:
• To open the oven door, press the door opening
button.
• The oven lamp will light when the door is open.
• Close the door firmly and the lamp will go out.
WARNING:
Always operate the oven with the turntable and support
fitted correctly, see page 2. This promotes thorough
even cooking.
• A badly fitted turntable may rattle, may not rotate
properly and damage the oven.
• The turntable rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise.
The rotary direction may change each time you start
the oven. This does not affect cooking performance.
MICROWAVE COOKING:
EXAMPLE:
To cook on HIGH (100%) power for 30 seconds.
1. Enter the heating
time by pressing
the 10 SEC key
three times.
2. Press the MICROWAVE
POWER LEVEL key once
for HIGH (100%).

MICROWAVE DEFROSTING
To defrost foods not included in the Auto Defrost menu, use microwave power levels
MEDIUM LOW (30%) or LOW (10% ). Stir or turn food at least 2-3 times during
defrosting. After defrosting, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand until thoroughly
defrosted. Refer to the defrosting charts in the Cookery Book, page 32.
CONVECTION COOKING
Your oven can be programmed to cook
with ten different temperatures by
combining the top and bottom grills
with the convection fan.
The temperatures available in degrees Centigrade are:
250°C, 230°C, 220°C, 200°C, 180°C,
160°C, 130°C, 100°C, 70°C, 40°C.
NOTES:
•
CONVECTION cooking is ideal for cooking Victoria sandwich cakes, buns, biscuits and scones. See recipes
pages 54-57.
• When using the CONVECTION facility, all metal cookware can be used. See SUITABLE COOKWARE
pages 26-27. To achieve the best results when cooking by CONVECTION, always use the low metal rack
for one layer cooking, and the high rack and low rack for two layer cooking.
• Temperature measurements taken whilst the oven is in convection mode will differ slightly from the displayed
level. This is due to the grill elements turning on and off in order to regulate the oven temperature. This will
not affect the cooking results as long as the operation manual and cook book are followed properly.
EXAMPLE:
To cook at 200°C for 20 minutes.

NOTES:
• Once the oven has started you can find out the temperature you have programmed by pressing the
CONVECTION TEMPERATURE key. The temperature will appear on the display. This will not affect
the programme or cooking time.
• After cooking is complete the cooling fan will continue working for a short time to lower the temperature
of the electrical and mechanical components.
• Recipes requiring a browned or crispy underside (ie; pies, pizza and bread), should be placed directly
on the turntable.
• Small food items such as pastries or biscuits should be cooked on the low rack so as to avoid browning
too quickly.
• Joints of meat/poultry should be cooked on the low rack with the splash guard fitted on top of the turntable.
• After cooking the display may show “NOW COOLING”.
WARNING:
The oven cavity, door, outer cabinet, air-vent openings, turntable, turntable support, splash guard, racks, dishes
and especially bottom grill heater will become very hot, use thick oven gloves when removing the food or
turntable from the oven to prevent burns.

SUITABLE COOKWARE
WARNING - Always attend the oven when in use.
Carefully follow the SHARP Operation Manual at all times. If you exceed recommended
cooking times and/or use power levels that are too high, food may overheat, burn, and in
extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.
•
The microwave power level will default to HIGH (100%) unless you press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL key
to reach the desired setting. Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, e.g, Christmas pudding, mince pies and
fruit cakes. Before use, check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
WARNING - Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
• Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before using them in the oven. If you do not, steam and pressure will build
up inside and the container may explode. Take care when heating contents in babies bottles, see page 27.
•
Eggs in their shell and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after
microwave heating has ended. Do not heat canned potatoes in the microwave oven as they may burst.
Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable.
•
For microwaving, use only those utensils suitable for microwave cookery as indicated below.
A variety of cookware can be used for microwaving. Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are
recommended, as food in the corners tends to overcook.

FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION
Face & Hands: Always use oven gloves to remove food or cookware from the oven. Stand back
when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as
cling -film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.
Stir, turn & stand:
For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during
cooking. Where recommended, leave food to stand
after cooking or defrosting.
Initial and final temperature of food:
The initial temperature of food affects the amount of
cooking time needed, eg. chilled food requires more
cooking than food at room temperature.
The temperature of the container is not a true
indication of the temperature of the food or drink. Cut
into foods with fillings, for example, jam doughnuts, to
release heat or steam.
Check the temperature of food and drink
and stir (before serving). Take special care
when serving babies, children or the
elderly. The contents of feeding bottles
and baby food jars should be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked
before consumption to avoid burns.

27
FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION (Continued)
Composition
Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding, mince
pies) requires less heating time and should be
watched, over-heating can lead to fire.
& quality
Use good quality ingredients for microwaving.
Economical cuts of meat can be used for casseroles.
Piercing
Food with skin (e.g. potatoes, apples, fish,
sausages, chicken), or with membrane
(e.g egg whites/yolks), must be pierced in
several places before cooking or reheating.
If not, steam will build up and may cause
food to explode. When cooking eggs using
the “Breakfast”key, it is not necessary to
pierce the yolks, as the programme uses grill
only.
Arrangement
Covering
Place thickest parts of food on the outside of the dish,
e.g. place meaty ends of chicken drumsticks on the
outside of the dish.
Fish, vegetables and certain other foods benefit from
being covered during microwave cookery, follow
recommendations where given and use vented
microwave cling-film or a suitable lid.
Size & shape
Food size and shape affects the amount of cooking time
needed. When cooking more than one portion of the
same food ensure they are of a similar size and shape.
Density &
quantity
Food density and quantity affect the amount of
cooking time needed, for example, potatoes require
more cooking than peas; four potatoes will take longer
to cook than two.
Hygiene
Food hygiene standards (storage, handling and
preparation) apply to microwaving. Always store
convenience foods as recommended by the food
manufacturer and keep no longer than the "Use By" date.

• Shield warm areas with small pieces of foil if
necessary.
• It is important to turn food over, separate (where
appropriate) and rearrange to ensure even
defrosting.
• Standing time is necessary to ensure thorough
defrosting.

ADVICE FOR REHEATING
WARNINGS:
Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. Stand back
when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as
cling-film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.
• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.
• Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together
with the size, shape and material of the container.
• To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high
sugar or fat content, for example, mince pies, Christmas pudding.
• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturers’
instructions on the can
Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat
these separately, see below. Place smaller items of
food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods
to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling-film
and reheat on MEDIUM (50%), stir/rearrange halfway
through reheating. Ensure food is thoroughly reheated
before serving.
Plated meals
Cover with vented microwave cling-film or suitable lid,
reheat on MEDIUM (50%). Stir frequently to ensure
even reheating.
Casseroles

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
OVEN INTERIOR
WARNINGS-
Clean the microwave oven cavity, after each
use with a mild detergent solution on a soft
cloth, pay special attention to the
waveguide cover.
• Do not allow grease or dirt to build up
on the door seals and adjacent parts
as this may prevent the door from
closing correctly and may cause a
leakage of microwaves. To clean use
a mild detergent solution on a soft
damp cloth.
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.
• 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.
To prevent splashing, cover food wherever possible.
ACCESSORIES
Accessories should be washed in a mild washing-up
liquid solution and dried. They are dishwasher safe.
• After Grill, Convection, Dual, Pizza, Breakfast,
Instant Cook and Auto Cook 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.
• Cleaning Bottom Grill
The grill element moves upwards enabling the
bottom of the cavity to be wiped clean. Ensure
it is cold before cleaning. After cleaning, gently
push the bottom grill down to its lowest position (See
the diagram below and on page 2)
.
NOTE: When cleaning oven please ensure that
bottom grill is cool.

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.
Simply answer “YES” or “NO” to the following questions:
1.Does the oven lamp come on when you open the
WARNINGS:
• It is hazardous for anyone other than
a competent person to carry out any
service or repair operation which
involves the removal of a cover which
gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy.
• 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.
door?
YES/NO
(Put half a cup of water in the oven, on the turntable
and close the door. Select HIGH (100%) and
programme the oven to cook for 1 minute.)
2.Does the oven lamp come on?
3.Does the turntable rotate?
YES/NO
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
• 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
Service Technician appointed by SHARP.
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?
(Programme the oven on convection 180°C for 3
minutes.)
8. Does the oven lamp come on?
9. Does the turntable rotate?
YES/NO
YES/NO
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 62.

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
