Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly 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 suf
fi
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.

Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.
Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.
It is hazardous for anyone other than a quali
fi
ed service technician trained by SHARP to carry out any service or
repair operation. Especially those which involve the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure
to microwave energy are very hazardous.
Do not operate the oven if it is not working correctly or damaged until it has been repaired by a quali
