GB-28 Accessories The accessories should be washed in a mild washing up liquid solution and dried. They are dishwasher safe. SPECIAL NOTE for TURNTABLE SUPPORT After cooking, always clean the turntable support, especially around the rollers. These must be free from food splashes and grease. Built-up splashes or grease may overheat and cause arcing, begin to smoke or catch fire. roller Door To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass. NOTE: Keep the waveguide cover and accessories clean at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity or accessories, it may overheat, cause arcing, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven. CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS, STEAM CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN. Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet and accessories are completely cool. CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS - Keep the oven clean, or the oven could lead to a deterioration of the surface. This could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. Oven exterior The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel. Oven controls Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the oven controls. Care should be taken when cleaning the oven control. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner. Oven Interior 1. For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues are removed. Built-up splashes may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire, and cause arcing. Do not remove the waveguide cover. 2. Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven. 3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior. 4. Heat up your oven regularly by using the convection and grill, refer to “Heating without food” on page GB-12. Remaining food or fat splashed can cause smoke or bad smell. CARE AND CLEANING

Check the line fuse/circuit breaker is functioning properly. 2. When the door is opened, does the oven lamp light? YES _________ NO ________ 3. Place a cup of water (approx. 150 ml) in the oven and close the door securely. Set the cooking mode to microwave cooking mode. Programme the oven for one minute on 100 P power and start the oven. Does the oven lamp light? YES _________ NO ________ Does the turntable rotate? YES _________ NO ________ NOTE: The turntable turns in either direction. Does the ventilation work? YES _________ NO ________ (Place your hand over the ventilation openings and check for air flow.) After 1 minute does the signal sound? YES _________ NO ________ Does cooking in progress indicator go off? YES _________ NO ________ Is the water warm after the above operation? YES _________ NO ________ 4. Take the cup out of the oven and close the door. Set the GRILL cooking mode for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes does the grill heating element become red? YES _________ NO ________ 5. Set the CONVECTION cooking mode for three minutes at 250ºC. Is the inside of the oven hot after 3 minutes? YES _________ NO ________ If you answer “NO” to any of the above questions, call a Service Technician appointed by SHARP and report the results of your check. See inside back cover for details of address. IMPORTANT: If the display shows nothing even if the power plug is properly connected, the energy save mode should carry on. To release it, open and then close the oven door. See page GB-8. NOTES: 1. In 100 P, 90 P, 80 P microwave power level, output power will gradually be reduced to avoid overheating. 2. If you cook the food over the standard time with only the same cooking mode, the power of the oven will lower automatically to avoid overheating. (The microwave power level will be reduced and the grill heating elements will begin to light on and off.) Cooking mode Standard time Grill cooking 15 min. Dual Conv. (60 P microwave power) Micro - 15 min. Dual Grill (80 P microwave power)Micro - 15 min. Grill - 15 min. 3. After cooking, and opening the door, “NOW COOLING” may appear on the display. Also, when you press the STOP button and open the door during cooking, the cooling fan will run; you may, therefore, feel air blowing from the ventilation openings.

GB-30 WHAT ARE MICROWAVES? Microwaves are electromagnetic waves, similar to radio and TV-waves. Microwaves are generated by a magnetron inside the microwave oven and cause the water molecules in food to vibrate. This causes friction, which in turn generates heat, which then thaws, heats or cooks your food. The secret of the shorter cooking time is that microwaves enter your food from all sides. Energy is used optimally. In comparison with a stove, the energy used on a burner reaches the food only through the hot plate and the cooking pot. This “detour” loses a lot of energy. FEATURES OF MICROWAVESMicrowaves penetrate all non-metal objects, like glass, porcelain, ceramics, plastic, wood or paper. This is why microwaves do not heat these materials. Cookware is heated only indirectly through the heat of the food. Foods absorb microwaves and heat up. Microwaves cannot penetrate material made of metal because metal reflects microwaves. Therefore, objects made of metal are not usually suitable for use in a microwave. There are some exceptions to this rule, where you may use this exact attribute. You might cover certain areas of some foods with aluminum foil during thawing or cooking. This way you can avoid areas that are too warm or too hot or overcooked. Please remember the following notes. MICROWAVE OPERATIONBy using microwaves in your new combi-microwave oven, you can quickly heat individual servings or drinks, or melt butter or chocolate in a very short time. The microwave is also exceptionally well suited for thawing foods. In many cases it is beneficial to combine microwaves with hot air or the grill. This enables you to cook and brown your foods in a short time. Compared to conventional roasting, the cooking time is usually much shorter. COMBI OPERATION (MICROWAVE WITH HOT AIR OR GRILL) By joining two different modes of operation, the benefits of your microwave oven will improve functionality. You may choose between • Microwave + Hot air (ideal for roasts, poultry, casseroles, pizza, bread and cakes) and • Microwave + Grill (ideal for quick-fried, roasts, poultry, chicken drum sticks, shish kabobs, cheese toast and “au gratin”). By using the combi operation you can cook and brown foods simultaneously. One benefit is that the hot air or the heat of the grill element will quickly seal the pores of the food's outer surface. Microwaves ensure a short cooking time. The food will stay moist on the inside and be crunchy brown on the outside. HOT AIR OPERATIONYou can also use hot air without the microwaves. The result will be just like in a conventional hot air stove. Circulating air quickly heats the outer surfaces of your food. Meat, for example, will stay moist and your food will not dry out. This sealing process ensures that your foods will stay tasty and cook faster than regular stoves with top and bottom heating elements. GRILL OPERATIONYour new microwave oven is equipped with a quartz grill located on the ceiling of the cooking chamber. Just like any conventional grill, it can be used without the microwaves. You can quickly brown or grill foods. This is especially suitable for steaks, cutlets or gratinating foods. WHAT YOUR NEW COMBI-MICROWAVE OVEN CAN DO
