 CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION:  DO  NOT  USE  COMMERCIAL  OVEN  CLEANERS,  STEAM 
CLEANERS,  ABRASIVE,  HARSH  CLEANERS,  ANY THAT  CONTAI N 
SODIUM  HYDROXIDE  OR  SCOURING  PADS  ON  ANY  PART  OF  
YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
Before  cleaning,  make  sure  the  oven  cavity,  door,  o ven  cabinet 
and accessories are completely cool.
CLEAN THE  OVEN  AT  REGULAR  INTERVALS  AND  REMOVE  ANY  
FOOD  DEPOSITS  ±  Keep  the  oven  clean,  or  the  oven  co uld  lead 
to a deterioration of the surface. This could adverse ly a#  ect the 
life of the appliance and possibly result in a haza rdous situation.
Oven exterior
The  outside  of  your  oven  can  be  cleaned  easily  with   mild  soap  and 
water.  Make  sure  the  soap  is  wiped  of    with  a  moist   cloth,  and  dry 
the exterior with a soft towel. 
Oven controls 
Open  the  door  before  cleaning  to  de-activate  the  ov en  controls. 
Care should be taken when cleaning the oven control. Usin g a cloth 
dampened  with  water  only,  gently  wipe  the  panel  unt il  it  becomes 
clean.  Avoid  using  excessive  amounts  of  water.  Do  n ot  use  any  sort 
of chemical or abrasive cleaner. 
Oven Interior 
1. For  cleaning,  wipe  away  any  splatters  or  spills  wi th  a  soft  damp 
cloth  or  sponge  after  each  use  while  the  oven  is  st ill  warm.  For 
heavier  spills,  use  a  mild  soap  and  wipe  several  ti mes  with  a 
damp  cloth  until  all  residues  are  removed.  Built-up   splashes  may 
overheat  and  begin  to  smoke  or  catch   re,  and  caus e  arcing.  Do 
not remove the waveguide cover.
2. Make  sure  that  the  mild  soap  or  water  does  not  pen etrate  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  convectio n  and  grill. 
Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke or bad smell.
5. Food  will  release  steam  during  cooking  and  cause  c ondensation 
inside  the  oven  and  door.  It  is  important  to  wipe  t he  oven  dry.  A 
build  up  of  condensation  will  eventually  lead  to  ru st  forming  on 
the oven interior.
SPECIAL NOTE for WAVEGUIDE COVER:  Keep the waveguide cover 
clean at all times. The waveguide cover is construc ted from a fragile 
material  and  should  be  cleaned  with  care  (follow  th e  cleaning  in-
structions above). 
Excessive soaking may cause disintegration of the wa veguide cover. 
The  waveguide  cover  is  a  consumable  par t  and  withou t  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  soluti on  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. Built-
up  splashes  or  grease  may  overheat  and  cause  arcing ,  begin  to 
smoke or catch  re. 
Door 
To  remove  all  traces  of  dirt,  regularly  clean  both  sides  of  the  door, 
the door seals and adjacent parts with a soft, damp  cloth. Do not use 
harsh  abrasive  cleaners  or  sharp  metal  scrapers  to  clean  the  glass 
oven  door  since  they  can  scratch  the  surface,  which   may  result  in 
shattering of the glass. 
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 hea t on 100+ for 10 -12 minutes.
Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.
Convection modes, the cooling fan will switch on to cool the oven  
cavity. When  the  cooling  fan  works,  the  display  may   show ªNOW 
COOLINGº. To  clear  it,  press  the  STOP/CLEAR  key  and  the  display 
will return to ª. 0º. 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 you rself. 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.
·  Repairs and Modif  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  in side  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.

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 st
eam produced depends on the water 
content of the food being cooked. Some foods, such as potatoes h ave a high moisture content. 
Condensation trapped in the door glass should clear after a fe w hours.
Flashing or arcing from within the 
cavity when cooking. Arcing will occur when a metallic object comes into close prox
imity 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 potat oes and that they have been pierced, place directly onto 
the turntable or in a heat resistant % an 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 sele cted.
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.
