CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
OVEN INTERIOR Clean the microwave oven cavity after each use with a mild detergent solution on a soft cloth, pay special attention to the waveguide cover. Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor particularly if the turntable and roller stay are removed. Excess water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior. It is important that the door seals and sealing surfaces are kept clean at all times, wipe regularly with a damp cloth. To prevent splashing, cover food wherever possible. TURNTABLE & SUPPORT Leave to cool before cleaning to prevent them from breaking. OUTER CABINET Wipe the outside cabinet with a mild detergent solution on a soft cloth. The control panel must be wiped clean whilst the door is open, therefore inactivating the oven. WARNINGS � Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts, as this may prevent the door from closing correctly and may cause a leakage of microwaves. To clean use a mild detergent solution on a soft damp cloth. � Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity, it may overheat, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven. � Never use spray cleaners, oven keys or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.

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. Simply answer �YES� or �NO� to the following questions: (Put half a cup of water in the oven, on the turntable and close the door. Select 100P and programme the oven to cook for 1 minute.) 1. Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking? YES/NO 2. Does the turntable rotate? YES/NO 3. Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing your hand above the air vent openings) YES/NO 4. After 1 minute does the audible signal sound? YES/NO 5. Is the water in the cup hot? YES/NO 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 on page 32. WARNINGS: � Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy. � The door seal stops microwave leakage during oven operation, but does not form an airtight seal. It is normal to see drops of water, light or feel warm air around the oven door. Food with a high moisture content will release steam and cause condensation inside the door which may drip from the oven. � Repairs & Modifications: Do not attempt to operate the oven if it is not working properly. � Outer Cabinet & Lamp Access: Never remove the outer cabinet. This would be very dangerous due to high voltage parts inside which must never be touched, as this could be fatal. As your oven is not fitted with a lamp access cover, if the lamp fails, do not attempt to replace the lamp yourself, call a Service Technician appointed by SHARP.
