Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power
level for cooking, follow the advice given in the
recipe section. Generally the following
recommendations apply:

HIGH - (100% output=800W) used for fast
cooking or reheating e.g. for plated meals, hot
beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.
MEDIUM HIGH - (70% output=560W) For
longer cooking of dense foods such as roast
joints. For sensitive dishes, eg. cheese sauce,
reduce the power setting. At a reduced setting,
the dishes will not boil over and meat will cook
evenly without over cooking at the sides.

MEDIUM - (50% output=400W) For dense foods
which require a long cooking time when
prepared conventionally, eg. beef or casserole
dishes, it is advisable to reduce the power setting
and increase the cooking time. In this way, the
meat will be more tender, e.g. beef or casserole
dishes.
MEDIUM LOW - (30% output=240W) Defrost
setting) To defrost, select a low power setting.
This ensures that the dish defrosts evenly. This
setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta
and dumplings.
LOW - (10% output=80W) For gentle
defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux or pastry.

To set the microwave power level:
Press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button until the POWER LEVEL indicator indicates the desired level.

NOTES:
1. When the oven is plugged in, the POWER LEVEL indicator will show nothing. If you press the

MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button once, HIGH will be indicated. If you miss your desired level,
press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button until you reach the level again.

2. Your oven will memorize the power level of the last operation. When you press the MICROWAVE

POWER LEVEL button whilst the POWER LEVEL indicator is not shown, the last power level will be
indicated on the control panel. If the electrical supply to your oven should be interrupted, the memory
will be erased.

BUILDING-IN-KIT.
This oven is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit.

IMPORTANT! ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
• Do not allow water to come into contact with the power

supply cord or plug.

• Insert the plug properly into the socket as the plug may

otherwise overheat and catch fire.

• Do not connect other appliances to the same socket

using an adaptor plug as it may cause the house wiring
to overheat and catch fire.

• If the plug or socket is loose or the power supply cord is

damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The
exchange must be made by an authorised SHARP
service agent. 
A defective plug, power supply cord or socket may
overheat and catch fire during operation or cause an
electrical shock.

• When removing the plug from the socket always grip

the plug, never the mains lead as this may damage the
power supply cord and the connections inside the plug.

• The product is fitted with a re-wireable plug. Should it

not be suitable for the socket outlet in your home,
remove the plug and fit an appropriate type, observing
the wiring code given in “To replace the mains plug” on
page 14.

If you wish to remove or replace the plug supplied, ensure
the plug is removed properly and not cut off. When
replacing the plug please ensure that you use a BSI or
ASTA approved plug to BS1363, this should be fitted with
a brown coloured 13 amp fuse approved by BSI or ASTA
to BS1362. If you have any doubt about electrical
connection seek the help of a qualified electrician. 

WARNING 
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring code
given in “To replace the mains plug” on page 14.
