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.
Follow this simple check below:
Place half a cup of water on the turntable and
close the door. Programme the oven to cook for
1 minute using 100% microwave power.
1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is
cooking
?
2. Does the turntable rotate
?
3. Does the cooling fan work
?
(Check by placing
your hand above the air vent openings.)
4. After 1 minute does the audible signal sound
?
5. Is the water in the cup hot
?
Take the cup of water out of the oven and
close the door. Programme the oven to cook
for 3 minutes using the top and bottom grills.
6. After 3 minutes, do both the grill heating
elements become red
?
Programme the oven to cook for 3 minutes
using the convection on 250°C.
7. After 3 minutes, is the oven cavity hot
?
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 against the troubleshooting
chart on the following page.
NOTES:
• Safety powerdowns:
If you cook food for more than the standard
time (see chart opposite) using the same
cooking mode, the oven’s safety mechanisms
automatically activate. The microwave power
level will be reduced or the grill heating
elements will turn on and off.
• After manual or automatic cooking using
the Grill, Combi or Convection modes, the
cooling fan will switch on to cool 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 return to “. 0”. 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.
• 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 Modifications: 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 inside 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.
IMPORTANT:
If the display is blank and has gone dark, even if
the power plug is properly connected, the oven
may be in Energy Save Mode. To cancel it, open
and then close the oven door, see page 7.

WARNING:
Never adjust, repair or modify the oven
yourself. 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.
