IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

This oven is designed to be used on a countertop only. It is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit. Do not place the oven in a cabinet.

The oven door may become hot during cooking. Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is 85 cm or more above the ﬂ oor. Keep children away from the door to prevent them burning themselves.

Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 12 cm. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or

mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been

given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use. WARNING: When the appliance is operated in the GRILL, COMBI, STEAM and AUTOMATIC operations

(except AUTO DEFROST MENUS), children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperature generated.

WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away. WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been

repaired by a competent person. WARNING: 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.

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.

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when

handling the container. 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.

Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the oven. See page 26. Use only microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave modes.

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.

The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, dishes, accessories and especially the grill heating elements will become very hot during operation. Care should be taken to avoid touching these areas. To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves. Before cleaning make sure they are not hot.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven and keep the door closed in order to stiﬂ e any ﬂ ames. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could

adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can

scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass. Steam cleaner is not to be used. See instructions for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts on page 20.

To avoid the danger of fire.

Do not use any other liquid other than room temperature drinking water in the water tank.

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.

The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency. A separate circuit serving only this appliance should be provided.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Clean the oven cavity and the oven floor 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. Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may cause a fire. Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the oil may catch fire. To make popcorn, use only special microwave popcorn makers. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven. Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure the oven is operating as desired. To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when cooking or reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example, Sausage rolls, Pies or Christmas pudding. See the corresponding hints in operation manual and the cookery book section. When alcoholic beverage are added when roasting or cooking cakes and sweets, there is a risk that vapours released by the alcohol may catch fire upon coming into contact with the electrical heating element. Attend the oven closely during cooking.

To avoid the possibility of injury

WARNING:

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the following before use:

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.

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. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. Follow the instructions for "Cleaning and Care" on page 20.

Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for precautions regarding microwave ovens.

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 steam outlets 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. 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.

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 widemouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

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.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:

1. Do not use excessive amount of time (See page

40).

2. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

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

CAUTION HIGH TEMPERATURE

This symbol means that the top surface becomes hot during operation and it should not be touched with bare hands and no material should be placed on it at any time.

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use care when opening door. To avoid burns from escaping heat and steam, let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns that can be caused by over boiling.

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.

The 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.

To avoid misuse by children

Do not lean or swing on the oven door. 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.

To promote troublefree use of your oven and avoid damage.

Never operate the oven when it is empty except where recommended in the operation manual. Doing so may damage the oven. When using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the oven floor due to heat stress. The preheating time specified in the dish’s instructions must not be exceeded.

Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and may cause electrical arcing.

Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation.

When the oven is in use, ventilate a room where the oven is installed. e.g. open a window or switch a kitchen ventilation. Do not operate the oven if water tank cracks and water leaks. Please consult your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent. 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 insert fingers or objects in the holes (the steam outlets or air-vent openings) as this may damage the oven and cause an electric shock or a hazard. Do not touch the electric plug with wet hands. Plug into the electric wall socket securely. When removing the plug from the socket always grip the plug, never pull the power supply cord as this may damage the power supply cord and the connections inside the plug. Never move the oven in operation. If the oven needs to be moved, drain all water inside the oven using DRAIN WATER function. After draining, empty the drip tray. Be careful not to spill water on the door or control panel. If the oven is dropped, on the floor, do not use the oven. Unplug and contact your dealer or an authorised SHARP Service Agent.

NOTE:

If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please consult an authorised, qualified electrician. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedure. Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on the oven walls or around the door seals and sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.
