GB-2
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 and eruption of boiling.
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.
This appliance is not intended to be operated by means
of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
To avoid misuse by children
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 pot holders, 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
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.
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole
hard boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may explode
even after microwave cooking 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.
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.
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.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged,
it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange
must be made by 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 wide-
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
1.
Do not use excessive amount of time (See page
GB-28).
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
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The contents of feeding bottles
and baby food jars must be stirred or
shaken and the temperature checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns.
To avoid burns, always test food temperature

attention to the temperature of food and
drink given to babies, children or the elderly.
Accessible parts may become hot during
use. Young children should be kept away.
