Troubleshooting - Sharp R-61FBSTM Operation Manual With Cookbook

R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual
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 100P microwave power.
1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is
cooking?
2. Does the turntable rotate?
3. Does the cooling fan work? (You will hear the
fan sound.)
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 grill.
6. After 3 minutes, does the grill heating element
become red?
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.
NOTE:
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 element
will turn on and off.

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.
• 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.
