R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 11 HOW TO OPERATE YOUR OVEN MANUAL DEFROSTING • Enter the defrosting time and use microwave power levels 10P or 30P to defrost (refer to page 8). • Stir or turn the food, where possible, 2 - 3 times during defrosting. • After defrosting, cover the food in foil and leave to stand until thoroughly defrosted. • Refer to the defrosting charts in the cookbook section, page 29. Example: To defrost for 10 minutes on 30P microwave power. 1.
R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 12 GRILL COOKING The grill at the top of the oven cavity has one power setting only. The grill is assisted by the turntable which rotates simultaneously to ensure even browning. Use the rack for grilling small items of food such as bacon, gammon and teacakes, turn over halfway through grilling. Food can be placed either directly onto the rack, or into a flan dish/heat-resistant plate on the rack. Example: To grill for 20 minutes, using GRILL. 1.
R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 13 DUAL GRILL COOKING Dual Grill combines microwave power with the grill. Example: To cook for 15 minutes, using Dual Grill, 50P microwave power. 1. Enter the cooking time by turning the TIME/WEIGHT/POWER knob. The combination of microwave power with the grill reduces cooking time and provides a crisp, brown finish. Dual grill is preset with 30P microwave power.

R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 19 MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE Microwaves cook food faster than conventional cooking. It is therefore essential that certain techniques are followed to ensure good results. Many of the following techniques are similar to those used in conventional cooking. WARNING: Liquids and foods must not be heated in sealed containers or jars/containers with lids on, as pressure will build up inside and may cause the jar/container to explode.
R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 20 MICROWAVE COOKING ADVICE Food Characteristics Composition Foods high in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding, mince pies) require less heating time. Care should be taken as overheating can lead to fire. Bones in food conduct heat, making the food cook more quickly. Care must be taken so that the food is cooked evenly. Density Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed.
R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 21 SUITABLE COOKWARE 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. 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 below.
R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 22 DEFROSTING ADVICE Using your microwave oven is the quickest defrosting method. It is a simple process but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted. • Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting. • To defrost food, use microwave power levels 30P or 10P. • Please refer to the defrosting chart on page 29 for further information.
R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 23 REHEATING ADVICE For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving. Plated meals Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately, see below. Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 50P, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating.
R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 24 CLEANING & MAINTENANCE OVEN INTERIOR • It is important to clean the interior of your microwave oven after each use. • Food will release steam during cooking and cause condensation inside the oven and door. It is important to wipe the oven dry. A buildup of condensation will eventually lead to rust forming on the oven interior. • To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.
R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 25 TROUBLESHOOTING If you think 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 below: WARNING: Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a SHARP trained engineer to carry out servicing or repairs.
R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 26 TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLESHOOTING CHART QUERY ANSWER Draught circulates around the door. When the oven is working, air circulates within the cavity. The door does not form an airtight seal so air may escape from the door. Condensation forms in the oven, and may drip from the door. The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so steam produced when cooking will condense on the colder surface.
R-61+62FBSTM Operation Manual 24/07/2003 10:27 Page 27 TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as shown: Green and yellow stripes = EARTH Blue = NEUTRAL Brown = LIVE Make sure the terminal screws are tight and the cable is held securely by the cable grip where it enters the plug. Like most appliances in your home, your oven must be connected to a single phase 230-240V, 50Hz alternating current supply.
