FITTED EQUIPMENT – The Sharp Microwave Cooker

AUTO MINUTE FUNCTION

The START/AUTO MINUTE key allows you to
operate the two following functions:
1. Direct Start
You can automatically start cooking on 100P
microwave power level for 1 minute by pressing
the AUTO MINUTE key.
2. Extend the cooking time
You can extend the cooking time during
manual cooking, time defrost and Auto Menu
operation in multiples of 1 minute if the START/
AUTO MINUTE key is pressed while the oven
is in operation. During the weight defrost, the
cooking time cannot be increased by pressing
the key.
To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven,
the microwave energy must be able to pass
through the container to penetrate the food.
Therefore it is important to choose suitable
cookware.
Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/
oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends
to overcook. A variety of cookware can be
used as listed on page 74.
CLEANING TIP: For easier cleaning of your
oven.
Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2
pint) water and heat on 100% for 10 – 12
minutes. Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry
cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Keep the power supply cord away from heated
surfaces. If you think that 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. 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 lamp come on when cooking?
2. Does the turntable rotate?
3. Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing
hand above the air vent openings.)
4. After 1 minute does the audible signal
sound?
5. Is the water in the cup hot?
6. After 3 minutes, does the heating element
become red?
If you answered 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 page 75.
Notes:
• The door seal stops microwave leakage
during oven operation, but does not form
an airtight seal. It is normal to see light
or drops of water 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
repairs and modifications yoursle: these
must be carried out by a qualified engineer.
• Outer cabinet and lamp access: Never
remove the outer cabinet.
dangerous due to high voltage parts inside
which must never be touched. Your oven
is not fitted with a lamp access cover. If
your lamp fails, do not attempt to replace
the lamp yourself; call a SHARP approved
service facility.
