When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING

- To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to

excessive microwave energy:

1. Read all instructions before using the

appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific

“PRECAU-

TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPO-
SURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY”

on inside front cover.

3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect

only to properly grounded outlet. See

“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”

page 4 and INSTALLATION INSTRUC-
TIONS.

4. Install or locate this appliance only in ac-

cordance with the provided installation
instructions.

5. Some products such as whole eggs and

sealed containers —for example, closed
glass jars — may explode and should not be
heated in this oven.

6. Use this appliance only for its intended use

as described in this manual. Do not use
corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appli-
ance. This type of oven is specifically
designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7. As with any appliance, close supervision is

necessary when used by children.

8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a

damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

9. This appliance should be serviced only by

qualified service personnel. Contact nearest
Sharp Authorized Servicer for examination,
repair or adjustment.

10. Do not cover or block any openings on the

appliance.

11. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors.

Do not use this product near water—for
example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet base-
ment or near a swimming pool, and the like.

12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or

counter.

15. See door surface cleaning instructions on

page 21.

16. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:

a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

appliance if paper, plastic or other com-
bustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.

b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or

plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

c. If materials inside the oven should

ignite, keep oven door closed, turn
oven off and disconnect the power
cord or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.

d. Do not use the cavity for storage pur-

poses. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils or food in the cavity
when not in use.

17. Clean ventilation openings and grease filters

frequently—Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on ventilation openings, hood
(louver) or grease filters.

18. Use care when cleaning the louver and the

grease filters. Corrosive cleaning agents,
such as lye-based oven cleaners, may dam-
age the louver and the grease filters.

19. When flaming food under the hood, turn the

fan on.

20. This appliance is suitable for use above both

gas and electric cooking equipment 36” wide
