OVEN:
1. Control panel
2. Oven lamp
3. Waveguide cover (DO NOT REMOVE).
4. Coupling
5. Oven cavity
6. Door seals and sealing surfaces
7. Door latches
8. Door opening handle

ACCESSORIES:
Check to make sure the following accessories are
provided:
12. Turntable
13. Turntable support

• Place the turntable support in the centre of

the oven floor, then place the turntable on to
the turntable support, ensuring it is located
firmly into the coupling.

• To avoid turntable damage, ensure dishes or

containers are lifted clear of the turntable rim
when removing them from the oven.

NOTES:
• The waveguide cover is fragile. Care should be taken when cleaning inside the oven to ensure that it

is not damaged.

• After cooking fatty foods without a cover, always clean the cavity thoroughly, this must be dry and

free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.

• Always operate the oven with the turntable and support fitted correctly. This promotes thorough,

even cooking. A badly fitted turntable may rattle, may not rotate properly and could cause damage
to the oven.

• The turntable rotates clockwise or anti-clockwise. The rotary direction may change each time you

start the oven. This does not affect cooking performance.

• When you order accessories, please quote both the PART NAME and MODEL NUMBER to

your dealer or SHARP approved service facility. The model number is located at the bottom of the
control panel.
