To avoid the possibility of injury
WARNING:
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or
malfunctioning. Check the following before use:
a) The door; make sure the door closes properly and
ensure it is not misaligned or warped.
b) The hinges and safety door latches; check to make
sure they are not broken or loose.
c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that
they have not been damaged.
d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure
there are no dents.
e) The power supply cord and plug; ensure that they
are not damaged.
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven
must not be operated until it has been repaired by a
competent person.
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.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter
the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object between
the door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on
the door seals and adjacent parts. Clean
the oven at regular intervals and remove
any food deposits. Follow the instructions
for “Care and Cleaning” on page 35.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean
condition could lead to a deterioration of
the surface that could adversely affect the
life of the appliance and possibly result in a
hazardous situation.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with
their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for
precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock
Under no circumstances should you remove the outer
cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock
openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a
spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately, and
call an authorised SHARP service agent.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
Do not let the power supply cord hang over the edge
of a table or work surface.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
To avoid the danger of fire.
The microwave oven should not be left
unattended during operation. Power levels
that are too high, or cooking times that are
too long, may overheat foods resulting in
a fire.
This oven is designed for counter top or built-in use.
Do not place the oven in a cabinet. When the oven
is to be built-in, the installation frame EBR-9900(SL)
for R-960N and EBR-99ST for R-990N(S) licensed
by SHARP must be used. This is available from your
dealer. Refer to the frame installation instructions or
ask your dealer for the proper instruction procedure.
Only the use of this frame will guarantee the safety
and quality of the product.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that
the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.
The AC power supply must be 220V, 50Hz, with a
minimum 16A distribution line fuse, or a minimum
16A distribution circuit breaker.
A separate circuit serving only this appliance should
be provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity or
where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug
the oven and keep the door closed in order
to stifle any flames.

they are suitable for use in the oven. See
Page 38-39. Use only microwave safe
containers and utensils on microwave
modes.
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due to
the possibility of ignition.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven
cavity, the turntable and turntable support

grease. Built-up grease may overheat and
begin to smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings.
Do not block the ventilation openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food
and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may
cause a fire.
