IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
Clean the oven cavity and the oven floor
after use. These must be dry and free from
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.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep
frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and
the oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, use only special microwave
popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure
the oven is operating as desired.
To avoid overheating and fire, special care must
be taken when cooking or reheating foods with a
high sugar or fat content, for example, Sausage
rolls, Pies or Christmas pudding.
See the corresponding hints in operation manual
and the cookery book section.
When alcoholic beverage are added when roasting
or cooking cakes and sweets, there is a risk that
vapours released by the alcohol may catch fire
upon coming into contact with the electrical heating
element. Attend the oven closely during cooking.
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.
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 "Cleaning and Care" on page 21.
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 steam outlets 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.
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.
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
widemouthed 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
41).
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.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing
food from the oven to prevent burns.
This symbol means that the top surface
becomes hot during operation and it
should not be touched with bare hands
