C LEANING & MAINTENANCE WARNING • Keep the ceramic floor clean at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavily, it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven. • Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven. • Do not remove the ceramic floor from the oven. • Do not use commercial oven cleaners, abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads on any part of your microwave oven. • Do not sprinkle water onto the oven directly.
T ROUBLESHOOTING If you answer "NO" to any question first check that the oven is plugged in properly and the fuse has not blown, if there is no fault with either, check against the troubleshooting chart below. If you think the oven is not working properly there are some simple checks which you can carry out yourself before you call for an engineer. This will help prevent unnecessary service calls if the fault is something simple.
T O REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as shown opposite: As the colours of the cores in the mains lead of your oven may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug, connect the wires as shown: 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 230-240 Volt, 50Hz alternating current supply.
C ALLING FOR SERVICE • If you are unable to resolve a problem using the checks covered on the last few pages, do not attempt to service this microwave oven yourself. • Contact the dealer or supplier from whom the oven was purchased in order to obtain service. Where this is not possible, please contact either Sharp Electronics (U.K.) Ltd. Telephone: 0345 125387 (Lo-Call) or RH Hall (Microwave) Ltd.
