IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
g. Do not use plastic containers if the oven is still hot because they may melt. Plastic containers must not be used
unless the container manufacturer claims it is suitable.
h. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
i. When alcoholic beverages are added when roasting or cooking cakes and sweets, there is a risk that
vapours released by the alcohol may catch fi re upon coming into contact with the electrical heating
element. Attend the oven closely during cooking.
2. To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling, care should be taken when handling the
container. Your oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly with microwave, 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 suffi ciently heated evenly throughout.
Additionally:
a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles fi tted 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.
3. This oven is for home food preparation only and should only be used for heating, cooking and defrosting
food and beverage.
It is not suitable for commercial, laboratory use, or heating therapeutic devices eg. Wheat bags.
4. Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.
5. Handle with care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do
not touch the latches.
6. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while
the oven is operating.
7. Never tamper with or deactivate the latches.
8. Always use oven gloves to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough
heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
9. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualifi ed service technician trained by SHARP.
10. Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the furthest edge of a
dish's cover including microwave plastic wrap etc., and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags
away from the face.
11. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged, and that it does not run under the oven or over any
hot surfaces or sharp edges.
12. Use care when opening door. To avoid burns from escaping heat and steam, let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food.
13. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet because the oven will become very hot during operation.
14. To avoid burns, always test the food and container temperature and stir before serving. Pay special
attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children and the elderly. Do not drink
beverages or soup without checking the container's temperature. Take extra caution when handling the
container because it becomes very hot.
15. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
16. Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, air-vent openings, accessories and
dishes because the escaping steam from the ventilation cover during operation becomes hot.
17. Do not touch around the oven lamps directly. This part will become hot when the oven lamp is on.
18. When the oven is in use, ventilate a room where the oven is installed. e.g. open a window or switch a
kitchen ventilation fan on.
19. Do not operate the oven if the water tank cracks and water leaks. Please contact a SERVICE CENTRE
APPROVED BY SHARP.
20. Do not insert fi ngers or objects in the holes (the steam outlets or air-vent openings) as this may damage
the oven and cause an electric shock or a hazard.
21. Do not touch the electric plug with wet hands and plug into the electric wall socket securely. When
removing the plug from the socket always grip the plug, never pull the power supply cord as this may
damage the power supply cord and the connections inside the plug.
22. Never move the oven when it is operating. If the oven needs to be moved, always drain all water inside the
oven using DRAIN WATER function. After draining, empty the drip tray.
23. Do not put any water on the door or control panel intentionally.
24. If the oven falls down or drops on the fl oor, do not use the oven. Unplug the unit and contact a SERVICE
CENTRE APPROVED BY SHARP.
