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.
Simply answer “YES” or “NO” to the following questions:

1. Does the oven lamp come on when you open the

door?

YES/NO

(Put half a cup of water in the oven, on the turntable
and close the door. Select 100% and programme the
oven to cook for 1 minute.)

2. Does the oven lamp come on?

YES/NO

3. Does the turntable rotate?

YES/NO

4. Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing your

hand above the air-vent openings)

YES/NO

5. After 1 minute does the "beep" sound? YES/NO
6. Is the water in the cup hot?

YES/NO

(Take the cup out of the oven and close the door. Set
the grill time for the top and bottom grill for 3 minutes.)

7. At the end of 3 minutes do both the grill elements

become red?

YES/NO

(Programme the oven on convection 180°C for 3
minutes.)

8. Does the oven lamp come on?

YES/NO

9. Does the turntable rotate?

YES/NO

10. After 3 minutes is the oven cavity hot? YES/NO

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 the troubleshooting
chart on page 65.

WARNINGS:

• 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.

• 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 & Modifications: Do not attempt to operate

the oven if it is not working properly.

• Outer Cabinet & Lamp Access: Never remove the

outer cabinet. This would be very dangerous due to
high voltage parts inside which must never be
touched, as this could be fatal. As 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.

NOTES:

The following cooking conditions should not cause
concern:
1. If you cook food for more than the standard time

(see chart opposite) at the same power level, the
oven’s safety mechanisms will automatically
activate. The microwave power level will be
reduced and the grill heating elements will turn
on and off.

2. After Grill, Dual Cooking, Convection, Instant

Cook, Express Cook and Meal in One modes, the
cooling fan will switch on for cooling 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 show

the time of day, if set.
During these modes, the cooling fan will also
work when you press the

STOP/CLEAR

key. You

may feel air blowing out of the air-vent openings.

IMPORTANT:

If the display shows nothing even if the power plug is properly connected, the energy save

mode should carry on. To release it, open and then close the oven door. See page 8.
