IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This oven is designed to be used on a countertop, in a cabinet or built-in. See page 5 for the installation
instructions.
Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 15 cm. See page 5 for the other necessary spaces.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING
: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.
WARNING
: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired
by an authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician.
WARNING
: Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than an
authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician to carry out any service or repair operation which
involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange
must be made by a service centre approved by SHARP.
WARNING
: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been
scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled
eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the oven. See Page . Use only
microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave modes.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked
before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely
affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
See instructions for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts on page 23.
Other warnings
1. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.
c. Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled.
2. To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling when handling the container.
Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly therefore, it is very important
that you select the appropriate cooking time and power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated.
If you are unsure of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times and power levels
until the food is sufficiently heated evenly throughout.
Additionally:
a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered
to be sealed containers.
b. Do not use excessive amount of time.
c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container.
d. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.
e. Stir the liquid before and during cooking. Use extreme care when handling the container or inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the container.
