CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN 
CLEANERS, STEAM CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, 
HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM 
HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART 
OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.
Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, 
oven cabinet, accessories and especially the grill 
heating element are completely cool.
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND 
REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS - Keep the oven 
clean, or the oven could lead to a deterioration of the 
surface. This could adversely affect the life of the 
appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Oven exterior
The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with 
mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off 
with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.
Oven controls
Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the 
oven controls. Care should be taken when cleaning 
the oven control. Using a cloth dampened with water 
only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean. 
Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use 
any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.
Door
To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides 
of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a 
soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners 
or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass 
since they can scratch the surface, which may result 
in shattering of the glass.
Door Seals
Always keep the door seals clean to prevent any 
damage. If water condenses inside the door seals, 
wipe dry with a soft cloth. Polish with another soft 
cloth. Do not use a chemical or abrasive cleaner on 
these surfaces. Care should be taken not to rub, 
damage, pull or move the seals. Before cooking, 
always check that door seals is lying smooth and fl at. 
If not, steam will leak from the door. Do not use the 
oven if it has a damaged door seals. Consult a Sharp 
Authorized Servicer.
Oven interior
  IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
  •  After  every  use:  Wipe  the 
oven walls with a soft cloth 
and warm water (or mild 
soapy water) while the oven 
is still warm. Using the oven 
without cleaning may lead 
spatters to get stuck.
  •  Do not use caustic cleaners (acidic/alkaline), spray 
type cleaners, abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring 
pads as it may damage the surface of oven walls.
For removal of OIL AND FOOD SPLASHES on oven walls:
1. Fill the water tank with fresh cold tap water to the 
MAX mark.
2. Operate the oven with Steam Cook High for 10 
minutes without food. See page 26.
3.  After the steaming, wipe the dirt in the oven 
interior with a dry soft cloth while the oven is still 
warm. Be aware that the grill heating element and 
steam outlets may be still hot, so take care when 
wiping the ceiling and cavity back plate. (The grill 
heating element will turn on for a very short time 
before at the end of the operation.) And then, we 
recommend to operate the oven with Grill for 3 
minutes without food and accessories for drying 
the water off around grill heating element. 
Steam Tray / Glass Tray / Rack
Wash steam tray, glass tray and rack after cooking 
with a mild soap or detergent solution, rinsing and 
polishing dry. Do not use harsh cleaners, sharp 
metal scrapers or stiff brushes to prevent damage to 
the easy clean surface. All the accessories can be 
washed in the dishwasher. Do not leave the steam 
tray and rack wet.
Water Tank and Water Tank Lid
After cooking, wash in a mild soap or detergent 
solution with a soft damp cloth or sponge, rinse and 
polish dry. Do not wash in the dishwasher. Do not use 
harsh cleaners, sharp metal scrapers or stiff brushes 
on the water tank and water tank lid. 
Drip Tray
Empty drip tray after cooking, wash in a mild soap or 
detergent solution with a soft damp cloth or sponge, 
rinse, polish dry and replace below the oven front. Do 
not wash in the dishwasher.
Descaling within the Oven’s Steam Parts
During steam production, scale may form in the 
steam generator. To remove scale, carry out descale 
function when “DESCALE” fl ashes on and off in the 
display. See page 16 for complete instructions.
Key Point for Cleaning - Immediately and 
frequently!
The food splashes and oily meat juice, remaining 
on the oven interior walls will get stuck and hard 
to remove if it is not cleaned immediately and after 
each use. The usage of the steam function will 
assist in this cleaning process. They will be also 
perishable by the infl uence of steam.
