Congratulations on acquiring your new microwave oven with grill, which from now on will make your kitchen

chores considerably easier.

You will be pleasantly surprised by the kinds of things you can do with a microwave. Not only can you use it for

rapid defrosting or heating up of food, you can also prepare whole meals.

There are so many advantages to having a microwave oven which we are sure you will find exciting:

● Food can be prepared directly in the serving dishes, leaving less to wash up.

● Shorter cooking times and the use of little water and fat ensure that many vitamins, minerals and

characteristic flavours are preserved.

We advise you to read the cooking guides and operating instructions carefully.

You will then easily understand how to use your oven.

Enjoy using your microwave oven and trying out your own favourite dishes.

Your Microwave-Team

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.

If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven

must not be operated until it has been repaired by

a competent person.

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. Clean the

oven at regular intervals and remove any food

deposits. Follow the instructions for "CLEANING

AND MAINTENANCE" on page GB-28. Failure

to maintain the oven in a clean condition could

lead to a deterioration of the surface that could

adversely affect the life of the appliance and

possibly result in a hazardous situation.

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

oven and keep the door closed in order to stifle

any flames.

Utensils should be checked to ensure that they

are suitable for use in the oven. See Page GB-25.

Use only microwave safe containers and uten-

sils on microwave modes. When heating food in

plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the

oven due to the possibility of ignition.

Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity and

the turntable 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 pop-

corn 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.

To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be

taken when cooking or reheating foods with a high

sugar or fat content, for example, Sausage rolls, Pies

or Christmas pudding.

See the corresponding hints in operation manual and

the cookery book section.

ENGLISH

Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven

cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to

avoid steam burns and eruption of boiling.

To avoid burns, always test food temperature

and stir before serving and pay special atten-

tion to the temperature of food and drink given

to babies, children or the elderly. Accessible

parts may become hot during use. Young chil-

dren should be kept away.

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 it

to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.

Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release

steam and avoid burns.

This appliance is not intended to be operated by

means of an external timer or separate remote-

control system.

To avoid misuse by children

WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven

without supervision when adequate instruc-

tions have been given so that the child is able

to use the oven in a safe way and understands

the hazards of improper use. When the appli-

ance is operated in the GRILL, MIX GRILL and

AUTO COOK operation, children should only

use the oven under adult supervision due to the

temperature generated. This appliance is not

intended for use by persons (including children)

with reduced physical, sensory or mental capa-

bilities, 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 and

Never operate the oven when it is empty except

where recommended in the operation manual, see

page GB-13. Doing so may damage the oven. When

Keep the power supply cord away from heated

surfaces, including the rear of the oven.

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.

Microwave heating of beverages can result in

delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must

be taken when handling the container.

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. Do not use excessive amount of time.

2. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil

(not metal) into the liquid whilst reheating.

4. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds 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 micro-

wave 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

WARNING: The contents of feeding bottles and

baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the

temperature checked before consumption, in order

to avoid burns.

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food

from the oven to prevent burns.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL

BEFORE OPERATION

Plug in the oven.

1. The oven display will flash:

2. Press the STOP key.

3. The display will show:

Generally the following recommendations apply to

choose the power level for cooking:

100 P (800 W) used for fast cooking or reheating

e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,

vegetables etc.

70 P (560 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 P (400 W) for dense foods which require a long

cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef

dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to

ensure the meat will be tender.

30 P (240 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 P (80 W) For gentle defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux

or pastry.

P=PERCENTAGE
