• Do not touch the plug with wet hands when inserting or
removing from the outlet. Plug securely into the electric wall
receptacle and remove by gripping on the plug end. Never

the vent.
• In the case of a grease fire, DO NOT USE WATER. Smother
fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure
may cause container to burst and result in injury.
• Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use caution in
order to prevent burns.
CHILDREN AND APPLIANCE SAFETY
Children below the age of 7 should use the oven with a
supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7
and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the oven comfortably; if not,
he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the
oven door.
Children should be taught all safety precautions.
Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking
skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the oven is not a toy. Young children
should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
oven.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
Do not store toys or other items of interest to children in drawers
or in cabinet or counter areas near the oven so children will not
risk injury trying to reach them.
UTENSILS AND DISH COVERINGS
The chart on page 10 will help you decide which utensils and
coverings should be used in each mode.
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
• Use care when removing items from the oven so that the
utensils, your clothes or accessories do not touch the door
projection.
• Do not touch around the oven light. This area will become
hot when the oven light is on.
• To avoid burns, always be careful of splashing grease from
the baking tray when removing roasted or grilled meats from
the oven.
• To avoid burns, always test food and container temperature and
stir before serving. Pay special attention to the temperature of
containers, foods and drinks. Do not drink beverage or soup
without checking the container’s temperature.
• Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven
cavity, ventilation openings, accessories, dishes and the
escaping steam from the air vent openings during operation
because they will become hot.
• Do not operate the oven if reservoir cracks and water leaks.
Call a Sharp Authorized Service Center to purchase a
replacement part.
• After use, condensed water may be inside oven cavity,
especially on the oven floor. Dry any liquid residue with a
sponge and wipe out to keep the oven clean.
• Do not move the oven during its operation. If the oven needs
to be moved, always drain all water inside the oven using
the DRAIN WATER function (see page 23). After draining,
empty the drip tray.
• To prevent condensation, which could corrode the appliance,
do not leave cooked food in the oven for an extended period.
• Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food
deposits in the oven or on the door.
• Do not use for deep frying.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling
utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from
the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
When using the Supersteam, Steam and Convection modes,
the cabinet, interior and door may be too hot to touch.
• Do not pour cold water on the tempered glass oven floor after
cooking as it might break. Do not use water to try to cool
down the oven interior after use.
• Do not pour cold water on the door as it might break.
• Do not touch hot surfaces.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
• The oven should not be left unattended during operation. Oven
temperatures that are too high or cooking times that are too
long may overheat foods resulting in a fire.
• Do not insert fingers or objects in the steam outlets or air vent
openings. This may damage the oven and cause an electric
shock or a hazard.
• If any objects drop inside the air vent openings, turn off the
oven immediately, unplug and consult a Sharp Authorized
Servicer.
