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.
Never adjust, repair or modify the oven
yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other
than a competent person to carry out any
service or repair operation which involves
the removal of a cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave
energy.
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. Follow
instructions for “Care and Cleaning”, Page
28.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with
their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker
for precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the danger of fire.
The microwave oven should not be left
unattended during operation. Power
levels that are too high, or cooking times
that are too long, may overheat foods
resulting in a fire.
In cases where the oven is to be installed into a
kitchen cabinet, the installation frame EBR-4800 (SL)
licensed by SHARP must be used. This is available
from your dealer. Refer to the frame installation
instructions for A type models or ask your dealer for
the proper instruction procedure. Only the use of this
frame will guarantee the safety and quality of the
product.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so
that the unit can be unplugged easily in an
emergency.
The AC power supply must be 230 V, 50 Hz, with a
minimum 10 A distribution line fuse, or a minimum
10 A distribution circuit breaker.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
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.
If food being heated begins to smoke, DO
NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and
unplug the oven and wait until the food
has stopped smoking. Opening the door
while food is smoking may cause a fire
Use only microwave-safe containers and
utensils. See Page 2 of the seperate
CookBook.
Do not leave the oven unattended when
using disposable plastic, paper or other
combustible food containers
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven
cavity, the turntable and roller stay 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.
