To avoid the danger of fire.
The microwave oven should not be left
unattended during operation. Power
levels that are too high, or cooking times
that are too long, may overheat foods
resulting in a fire.
This oven is not designed to be built into a kitchen
unit.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that
the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.
The AC power supply must be 230V, 50Hz, with a
minimum 10A distribution line fuse, or a minimum
10A distribution circuit breaker.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only
this appliance be provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity
or where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If food being heated begins to smoke,
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and
unplug the oven and wait until the food
has stopped smoking. Opening the door
while food is smoking may cause a fire
Use only microwave-safe containers and
utensils. See pages 18 - 19
Do not leave the oven unattended when
using disposable plastic, paper or other
combustible food containers
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven
cavity, the turntable and roller stay after
use. These must be dry and free from
grease. Built-up grease may overheat
and begin to smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven
or ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation
openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food
and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may
cause a fire. Do not use the microwave oven to heat
oil for deep frying. The temperature cannot be
controlled and the oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, use only special microwave
popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure
the oven is operating as desired.
See the corresponding hints in this operation
manual and the cookery book section.
To avoid the possibility of injury
WARNING:
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or
malfunctioning. Check the following before use:
a) The door; make sure the door closes properly
and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.
b) The hinges and safety door latches; check to
make sure they are not broken or loose.
c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that
they have not been damaged.
d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure
there are no dents.
e) The power supply cord and plug; ensure that
they are not damaged.
Never adjust, repair or modify the oven
yourself. 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.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter
the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object
between the door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on
the door seals and adjacent parts. Follow
instructions for “Care and Cleaning”,
Page 17.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with
their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker
for precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock
Under no circumstances should you remove the
outer cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock
openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a
spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately, and
call an authorised SHARP service agent.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
Do not let the power supply cord hang over the
edge of a table or work surface.
Keep the power supply cord away from heated
surfaces, including the rear of the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or
allow anyone who is not an electrician authorised by
SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult
your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord.
The exchange must be made by an authorised
SHARP service agent.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and
sudden boiling:
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must
not be heated in sealed containers since
they are liable to explode.
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids
before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a
build up of pressure even after the oven has been
turned off.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked
containers such as baby bottles, as this
may result in the contents erupting from
the container when heated and cause
burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar
utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.
3. Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking
time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole
hard boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may
explode even after microwave cooking
has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which
have not been scrambled or mixed,
pierce the yolks and the whites, or the
eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard
boiled eggs before reheating them in the
microwave oven.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing
food from the oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands
to avoid steam burns.
To avoid burns, always test food
temperature and stir before serving and
pay special attention to the temperature
of food and drink given to babies,
children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication of
the temperature of the food or drink; always check
the food temperature.
Always stand back from the oven door when opening
to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the door to prevent them
burning themselves.
To avoid misuse by children
WARNING: Only allow children to use the
oven without supervision when adequate
instructions have been given so that the
child is able to use the oven in a safe way
and understands the hazards of improper
use.
This appliance is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play
with the oven or use it as a toy.
Children should be taught all important safety
instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal
of food coverings; paying special attention to
packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to
make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.
Other warnings
Never modify the oven in any way.
Do not move the oven while it is in operation.
This oven is for home food preparation only and may
only be used for cooking food. It is not suitable for
commercial or laboratory use.
To promote trouble-free use of your oven

ENGLISH
When you prefer a little under finish, it is recommended to use the REDUCE function. This will shorten the total
cooking time.
Reduced cooking time = total cooking time x reduce factor.
Example: Suppose you want to reheat frozen Apetito menu by using MEMORY 1 with the time reduce setting.
Your oven can be programmed for up to 3 cooking sequences. You can enter cooking time up to 99 minutes
99 seconds for each stage. (See page 12 for details.)
To input manual cooking
1. Press the MANUAL key.
2. Enter cooking time.
3. Select desired power level.
4. Press the START key.
During cooking mode, the oven stops when the door is opened, and the programme is cancelled if the

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
Your oven has 6 power levels. To choose the
power level for cooking, follow the advice given
in the recipe section. Generally the following
recommendations apply:
100 % - (900 W) used for fast cooking or
reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot
beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.
70 % - (630 W) used for longer cooking of dense
foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated
meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce
and sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce
will not boil over and food will cook evenly without
over cooking at the sides.
50 % - (450 W) for dense foods which require a
long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg.
beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting
to ensure the meat will be tender.
30 % - (270 W Defrost setting) to defrost, select this
power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly.
This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta,
dumplings and cooking egg custard.
10 % - (90 W) for gentle defrosting, eg. cream
gateaux or pastry.
0 % - (0 W) for setting standing time.
No microwave power.

CARE AND CLEANING
ENGLISH
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.
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS
AND REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS. Failure
to maintain your oven in a clean condition
could adversely affect the life of the oven
and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Oven exterior
The outside of your oven can be easily cleaned with
mild soap and water. Make sure that the soap is wiped off
with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.
Control panel
Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the control
panel. Care should be taken in cleaning the control
panel. 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 any splatters or spills with a soft
damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is
still warm. For heavier spills, use mild soap and wipe
several times with a damp cloth until all residues are
removed.
2. Make sure that mild soap or water do 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.
Turntable and Roller stay
Remove the turntable and roller stay from the oven.
Wash the turntable and roller stay in mild soapy water.
Dry with a soft cloth. Both the turntable and the roller stay
are dishwasher safe.
Door
To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the
door, the door seals and surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
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.
NOTE: A steam cleaner should not be used.
Please check the following before calling for service.
1. Power Supply
Check the power plug is properly connected to a suitable wall outlet.
Check the line fuse/circuit breaker is functioning properly.
