TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS GROUNDING INSTALLATION

DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.

WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock.

Do not plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded. This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord.

  1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
  2. If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
  3. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance
  4. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
  5. The long cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

CLEANING

  1. Be sure to unplug the appliance from the power supply.
  2. Clean the cavity of the oven after using with a slightly damp cloth.
  3. Clean the accessories in the usual way in soapy water.
  4. The door frame and seal and neighbouring parts must be cleaned carefully with a damp cloth when they are dirty.
  5. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
  6. Cleaning Tip—For easier cleaning of the cavity walls that the food cooked can touch: Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% microwave power for 10 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS, STEAM CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet and accessories are completely cool.

CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS – Keep the oven clean, or the oven could lead ife of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Oven exterior

The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild soap and the exterior with a soft towel.

Oven controls

Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the oven controls. Care should be taken when cleaning the oven control. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.

Oven Interior

  1. For cleaning, wipe away any splatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed. Built-up splashes may re, and cause arcing. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
  2. Make sure that the mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven.
  3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior.
  4. Heat up your oven regularly by using the convection and grill. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke or bad smell.
  5. Food will release steam during cooking and cause condensation inside the oven and door. It is important to wipe the oven dry. A build up of condensation will eventually lead to rust forming on the oven interior

SPECIAL NOTE for WAVEGUIDE COVER: Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. The waveguide cover is constructed from a fragile material and should be cleaned with care (follow the cleaning in strictions above). Excessive soaking may cause disintegration of the waveguide cover. The waveguide cover is a consumable part and without regular cleaning, will need to be replaced.

Accessories

The accessories like turntable, turntable support, rack and crisp plate should be washed in a mild washing up liquid solution and dried. They are dishwasher safe.

SPECIAL NOTE for TURNTABLE SUPPORT:

After cooking, always clean the turntable support, especially around the rollers. These must be free from food splashes and grease. Bitflip splashes or grease may overheat and cause arcing, begin to fire.

NOTE: A steam cleaner should not be used.

Cleaning tip – For easier cleaning of your oven:
Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100% for 10 -12 minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.

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.

  1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking?

  2. Does the turntable rotate?

  3. Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing your hand above the air vent openings.)

  4. After 1 minute does the audible signal sound?

  5. Is the water in the cup hot?
    Take the cup of water out of the oven and close the door. Programme the oven to cook for 3 minutes using the top grill.

  6. After 3 minutes, does the grill heating element become red? Programme the oven to cook for 3 minutes using the convection on 240°C.

  7. After 3 minutes, is the oven cavity hot?
    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 chart on the following page.

NOTES:

  • Safety powerdowns:
    If you cook food for more than the standard time (see chart opposite) using the same cooking mode, the oven’s safety mechanisms automatically activate. The microwave power level.

  • 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, the cooling fan will carry on working after you have pressed the STOP/CLEAR key. You may feel hot air blowing out of the air-vent openings.

WARNING: Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a SHARP trained engineer to carry out servicing or repairs. This is important as it may involve the removal of covers that provide protection against 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.
  • cations: 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.

IMPORTANT:
If you cook food for more than the standard time (see chart below) using the same cooking mode, the oven’s safety mechanisms automatically activate. The microwave power level will be reduced,

QUERY ANSWER
Draught circulates around the door. When the oven is working, air circulates

within the cavity.The door does not form an airtight seal so air may escape from the door.
Condensation forms in the oven, and may drip 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.
Flashing or arcing from within the cavity when cooking.| 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.
Arcing potatoes.| Ensure all “eyes” are removed from the potatoes and that they have been pierced, place directly ontoan dish or similar.
The display is lit but the control panel will not work when pressed.| Check the door is closed properly.
Oven cooks too slowly.| Ensure correct power level has been selected.
Oven makes a noise.| The microwave energy pulses ON and OFF during cooking/defrosting.
Outer cabinet is hot.| The cabinet may become warm to the touch – keep children away.
