Remove all packing materials including the feature sticker. Do not remove the plastic film from the inside of the oven window as this protects it from dirt. 2. Place oven on a secure, level surface, strong enough to take the oven weight, plus the heaviest item likely to be cooked in the oven. 3. The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 13cm. 4. The oven door may become hot during cooking. Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is 85cm or more above the floor. 5. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or high humidity are generated, (for example, near or above a conventional oven) or near combustible materials (for example, curtains). Do not block or obstruct air vent openings. Do not place objects on top of the oven. 6. Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged (See IMPORTANT: ELECTRICAL CONNECTION! opposite) and that it does not run under the oven or over any hot or sharp surfaces. 7. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency. 8. Do not use the oven outdoors.BUILDING-IN-KIT. An installation frame is available which enables the microwave oven to be integrated within a kitchen unit. The microwave oven is not designed to be built above or near a conventional oven. SHARP recommend the use of the build in kit, EBR-9900 SL/W, available from your SHARP dealer. Only the use of this frame will guarantee the quality and safety of the oven. When building, follow installation instructions carefully. 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. • Do not connect other appliances to the same socket using an adaptor plug. • 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. • 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. • This 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 35. 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 35. 13cm R-953/963M O/M 16/03/2000 10:50 Page 4

Before cleaning make sure they are not hot. Fire: If smoke is observed, switch off and unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Liquids: Microwave heating of beverages. can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container. Stir the liquid prior to and during heating/reheating, let liquid stand in the oven after cooking. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE MAFF HEATING CATEGORY E 900W The heating category (a letter A to E) developed by MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food) with microwave oven and food manufacturers indicates the ability of the oven to heat small quantities of food (up to 500g [1lb 2oz]). It does not represent the general performance of the oven.Microwave output power in Watts (based on international (IEC 60705) standard). 600 700 800 900 1000 Watts OVEN OUTPUT POWERLess heating time required More heating time required Letter representing the oven heating category. Microwave Symbol. A B C D E OVEN OUTPUT CATEGORYLess heating time required More heating time required Food packs carry cooking instructions for heating categories A to E. Follow instructions for the letter corresponding to the oven’s heating category. The higher the output power and heating category of the oven the less heating time is required. As shown opposite.

6 MICROWAVING - INTRODUCTION Water, sugar and fat in food absorbs the microwaves and causes them to vibrate. This creates heat by friction, in the same way your hands get warm when you rub them together. The outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy and the remaining portions by conduction. It is important to turn, rearrangeor stir food to ensure even heating. Where recommended, allow food to stand, this is not optional but is necessaryto ensure thorough cooking. It is particularly important for dense food, such as joints of meat.NOTES: •Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and utensils and heat the food inside the dishes. •Microwaves are reflected by metal. •The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage. •Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving. •Never use the square shelves for microwave cooking and dual cooking as this may cause arcing. •See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 28-29. MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS To change the power level for cooking: Enter the required time and then press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVELkey. For example: IMPORTANT: The microwave power level will default to 100% (HIGH) unless you press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVELkey to the desired setting. TO CHECK THE POWER LEVEL: To check the microwave power level during cooking/defrosting, press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVELkey. The power level will be displayed as long as the key is pressed. This does not affect the programme or cooking time. 100% (HIGH) 70% (MEDIUM HIGH) 50% (MEDIUM) 30% (MEDIUM LOW) 10% (LOW) x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level for cooking, follow the advice given in the cookbook. Generally the following recommendations apply: HIGH- (100% output = 900W) used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc. MEDIUM HIGH- (70% output = 630W) used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes.MEDIUM- (50% output = 450W) for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender. MEDIUM LOW- (30% output = 270W Defrost setting) to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard. LOW- (10% output = 90W) For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry. Power level: The microwave power level is varied by the microwave energy switching on and off. When using the power levels other than 100% (HIGH) you will be able to hear the microwave energy pulsing on and off as the food cooks or defrosts. R-953/963M O/M 16/03/2000 10:50 Page 6
