To promote trouble-free use of your oven
and avoid damage.
Never operate the oven when it is empty.
When using a browning dish or self-heating
material, always place a heat-resistant insulator
such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent
damage to the turntable and roller stay due to heat
stress. The preheating time specified in the dishes
instructions must not be exceeded.
Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves

any liability for damage to the oven or personal
injury resulting from failure to observe the correct
electrical connection procedure.
Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on
the oven walls or around the door seals and
sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is
not an indication of microwave leakage or a
malfunction.
IMPORTANT! ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
• Do not allow water to come into contact with the
power supply cord or plug.
• Insert the plug properly into the socket.
• Do not connect other appliances to the same
socket using an adaptor plug.
• If the plug or socket is loose or the power supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special cord. The exchange must be made by a
SHARP approved service facility.
• When removing the plug from the socket always
grip the plug, never the cord as this may
damage the power supply cord and the
connections inside the plug.
• If the fitted mains plug to your oven is a
rewireable type and in the unlikely event of the
socket outlet in your home not being compatible
with the plug supplied, remove the plug and fit an
appropriate type, observing the wiring code given
in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 7.
If you wish to remove or replace the plug
supplied, ensure the plug is removed properly and
not cut off.
• If the plug fitted to your oven is a non-rewirable
plug and in the unlikely event of the socket outlet
in your home not being compatible with the plug
supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an
appropriate type, observing the wiring code
given in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 7.
Danger:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed
and the plug disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be
inserted into a socket outlet as a serious electric
shock may occur.
The plug must not be used without the fuse cover
fitted.
If you have any doubt about your microwave oven
obtain the help of a qualified electrician.
When replacing the plug please ensure that you
use a BSI or ASTA approved plug to BS1363, this
should be fitted with a brown coloured 13 amp
fuse approved by BSI or ASTA to BS1362. If you
have any doubt about electrical connection seek
the help of a qualified electrician.
