IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Keep the power supply cord away from heated
surfaces.
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 by the manufacturer
or their service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and
sudden boiling
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. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar
utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.
3. Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking
time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.
Eggs in their shells and whole hard-boiled eggs
should not be heated in microwave ovens since
they may explode even after the microwave heating
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.
To avoid the possibility of burns
Never touch or move the bottom grill while it is hot.
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.
To avoid burns, always test food
temperature and stir before serving. Pay
special attention to the temperature of
food and drink given to babies, children
or the elderly.
The 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.
Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet,
bottom grill, ventilation openings,
accessories and dishes during the grill,
dual and automatic operation modes as
they will become hot. Before cleaning
make sure they are not hot.
To avoid misuse by children
WARNING:
Only allow children to use the oven
without super vision 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.
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 potholders, 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:
Do not hold up the bottom grill except for cleaning.
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.
