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 microwave stirrer 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?
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 below.

TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG
The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as shown:
Green and yellow stripes = EARTH
Blue
= NEUTRAL
Brown
= LIVE
As the colours in the mains lead of your oven may not correspond
with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug,
connect the wires as described:
• The green and yellow wire to the plug terminal marked E or
or coloured green or coloured green and yellow.
• The blue wire to the plug terminal marked N or coloured black or
coloured blue.
• The brown wire to the plug terminal marked L or coloured red or
coloured brown.
Make sure the terminal screws are tight and the cable is held
securely by the cable grip where it enters the plug.
Like most appliances in your home, your oven must be connected to a
single phase 230-240V~, 50Hz alternating current supply.
If you do not make the proper electrical connections you might
damage the oven or injure yourself. Neither SHARP nor the supplier
will be liable if this happens.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
If
you have any doubts about your electrical supply
ask a qualified electrician.
ANSWER
The door does not form an airtight seal so air may escape 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 steam produced depends on the water
content of the food being cooked. Some foods, such as potatoes have a high moisture content.
Condensation trapped in the door glass should clear after a few hours.
Arcing will occur when a metallic object comes into close proximity to the oven cavity during cooking.
This may possibly roughen the surface of the cavity, but would not otherwise damage the oven.
Ensure all "eyes" are removed from the potatoes and that they have been pierced, place directly onto
Check the door is closed properly.
Ensure correct power level has been selected.
The microwave energy pulses ON and OFF during cooking/defrosting.
The cabinet may become warm to the touch - keep children away.

• 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.

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