What to do if my Sharp R-890 Microwave Oven cooks too slowly?
If your Sharp Microwave Oven is cooking food slower than expected, make sure that you have selected the correct power level for your dish.
Why does my Sharp R-890 make a noise?
The Sharp Microwave Oven makes a noise because the microwave energy pulses ON and OFF during cooking or defrosting cycles. This is normal operation.
What to do if the Sharp R-890 Microwave Oven display is lit but the control panel won't work?
If the display of your Sharp Microwave Oven is lit but the control panel does not respond when pressed, check that the door is closed properly. The control panel will not work if the door is not fully closed.
What to do if my Sharp R-890 shows “E01” and makes a long “DE” sound?
If your Sharp Microwave Oven displays “E01” and emits a long “DE” sound, it means the oven has entered the ultra-high temperature protection mode because the oven cavity temperature is higher than 2500C. Press the STOP/CLEAR button to return to standby mode.
What to do if my Sharp R-890 Microwave Oven shows “E03” and makes a long “DE” sound?
If your Sharp Microwave Oven displays “E03” and emits a long “DE” sound, it indicates that the microwave oven has entered the sensor protection mode. Press the STOP/CLEAR button to return to standby mode.
What to do if my Sharp R-890 shows “E02” and makes a long “DE” sound?
If your Sharp Microwave Oven displays “E02” and emits a long “DE” sound, it means the microwave oven has entered the ultra-low temperature protection mode because the oven cavity temperature is lower than 400C. Press the STOP/CLEAR button to return to standby mode.
Why is the outer cabinet of my Sharp R-890 Microwave Oven hot?
The outer cabinet of your Sharp Microwave Oven may become warm to the touch during operation. It is important to keep children away from the appliance when it is in use.
Why is there flashing or arcing inside my Sharp Microwave Oven when cooking?
Flashing or arcing inside your Sharp Microwave Oven during cooking occurs when a metallic object comes into close proximity to the oven cavity. While this may roughen the surface of the cavity, it should not otherwise damage the oven.
Why does condensation form in my Sharp R-890 Microwave Oven?
Condensation forms in the Sharp Microwave Oven because the oven cavity is typically colder than the food being cooked. Steam produced during cooking condenses on the colder surface. The amount of steam depends on the water content of the food, with high-moisture foods like potatoes producing more condensation. Condensation trapped in the door glass should clear after a few hours.
Why does draught circulate around the door of my Sharp Microwave Oven?
When the Sharp Microwave Oven is working, air circulates within the cavity. The door does not form an airtight seal, so air may escape from the door. This is normal.
