IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
1.
Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2.
It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar
utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.
3.
Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the
oven at the end of cooking time to prevent
delayed eruptive boiling.
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.
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.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands
to avoid steam burns.
To avoid burns, always test food
temperature and stir before serving and
pay special attention to the temperature
of food and drink given to babies,
children or the elderly.
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, to avoid burns from escaping steam and
heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the door and accessible
parts that may become hot when the grill is in use.
Children should be kept away to prevent them
burning themselves.
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 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. To ensure
that the power cord cannot come into contact with
the rear of the oven during operation, any excess
cord length must be secured using the cable clip
supplied in the accessory pack. The clip should be
fixed to the top of the kitchen unit using the screw
provided (See page 8).
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:
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must
not be heated in sealed containers since
they are liable to explode.
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.
Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care has to be taken when
handling the container.
