ROUBLESHOOTING

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.

Simply answer "YES" or "NO" to the following questions:

1 Do the oven lamp and fan motor come on for 1

minute when you open the door?

YES/NO

Put half a cup of water on the ceramic floor in the oven and close the door. Cook for 1 minute at 100%.

2 Does the oven lamp come on?

YES/NO

3Does the fan motor work? (Check by placing your

hand above the air vent openings)

YES/NO

4After 1 minute does the "Beep" signal sound?

YES/NO

5And did the heating indicator "ON" go out?

YES/NO

6 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 trouble- shooting chart below.

!WARNINGS:

•Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself, or allow anyone other than a Service Technician, appointed by SHARP to carry out the service.

•The door seal stops microwave leakage during oven operation, but does not form an airtight seal. It is nor- mal 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 has a removable cover over oven light bulb, it is possible for you to replace the light bulb yourself with care. The light bulb can be purchased from Sharp Electronics (U.K.) Ltd. See page 30. Unplug the oven before replacing the light bulb.

R-22AT, R-24AT specifications

The Sharp R-24AT and R-22AT microwave ovens are advanced kitchen appliances designed to enhance cooking convenience, efficiency, and versatility. Both models incorporate innovative technologies and features that cater to modern cooking needs.

The Sharp R-24AT boasts a robust 900 watts of cooking power, enabling users to prepare a wide variety of meals quickly and effectively.

One of the standout features of the R-24AT is its intelligent sensor technology, which automatically detects humidity levels in the cooking food.

Another key technology in the R-24AT is the inverter cooking system. This system provides a seamless flow of power throughout the cooking process, allowing for more precise temperature control.

The Sharp R-22AT, while slightly more compact with a 22-liter capacity, also delivers impressive performance with 800 watts of power. It features a similar inverter cooking system that guarantees even cooking results. Both models come with multiple auto-cook presets, providing users with a selection of quick options for common dishes such as popcorn, pizza, and oatmeal. This feature streamlines meal preparation and reduces the time spent on planning meals.

In addition, the user-friendly control panel on both models includes a combination of push-button and rotary dial controls for easy navigation. The inclusion of a bright LED display further enhances usability, allowing cooks to monitor cooking times and settings easily.

Safety is another critical aspect of the Sharp R-24AT and R-22AT. Both models come equipped with a child lock feature, ensuring peace of mind in homes with young children. The stainless steel interiors of these microwaves facilitate easy cleaning, while their sleek design adds a modern touch to any kitchen.

In summary, the Sharp R-24AT and R-22AT microwave ovens stand out for their advanced cooking technologies, user-friendly features, and thoughtful design. They empower home cooks to prepare meals with precision and ease, making them a valuable addition to any kitchen.
