IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid the possibility of burns
WARNING: 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.
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food
from the oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking
bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid
steam burns and eruption of boiling.
To avoid burns, always test food temperature
and stir before serving and pay special
attention to the temperature of food and
drink given to babies, children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication of
the temperature of the food or drink; always check the
food temperature.
Always stand back from the oven door when opening it
to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam
and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the door to prevent them
burning themselves.
To avoid misuse by children
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.
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.
Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play with
the oven or use it as a toy.
Children should be taught all important safety instructions:
use of pot holders, careful removal of food coverings;
paying special attention to packaging (e.g. self-heating
materials) designed to make food crisp, as they may be
extra hot.
Other warnings
Never modify the oven in any way.
Do not move the oven while it is in operation.
This oven is for home food preparation only and may
only be used for cooking food. It is not suitable for
commercial or laboratory use.
Keep the power supply cord away from heated surfaces,
including the rear of the oven.
Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or
allow anyone who is not an electrician authorised by
SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult
your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged,
it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange
must be made by an authorised SHARP service agent.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and
sudden boiling:
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.
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids
before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a
build up of pressure even after the oven has been turned
off.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked
containers such as baby bottles, as this
may result in the contents erupting from the
container when heated and cause burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible
scalding:
1.
Do not use excessive amount of time (See page
113).
2.
Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
3.
It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil
(not metal) into the liquid whilst reheating.
4.
Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at
the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive
boiling.
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.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and
fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
