Important safety instructions

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND

WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn customer of potential exposures to such substances.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when it is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be low level exposure to carbon monoxide, a chemical known to the State of California to cause reproductive harm. Exposure can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors during the self-clean cycle, by opening a window and/or door in the room where the appliance is located.

WARNING All ranges can tip and injury could result. To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance from abnormal usage by excessive loading of the oven door, the appliance must be secured to wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and

causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door. Please refer to the Anti-Tip

device information in the Installation Manual.

To check if the device is properly installed and engaged, look underneath the range with a flashlight to make sure one of the rear leveling legs is properly engaged in the bracket slot. The Anti-Tip device secures the rear leveling leg to the floor when properly engaged. You should check this anytime the range has been moved.

Safety precautions

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

1Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this manual.

2Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

3Never use appliance for warming or heating the room.

4Children 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.

5Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

6Do not repair or replace any part of appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

7Do not store flammable materials in an oven, Microwave Drawer or near surface units. Do not store or use

combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.

8Do not use water on grease fires. Smother a flame or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

9Use only dry potholders - a moist or damp potholder on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot surfaces, radiant surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

10 CAUTION Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

11Do not touch the surface units, heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot even though they are dark in color. These surfaces may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units, heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other potentially hot surfaces include: cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the vent opening, oven door and window and area around the door.

12Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

13Before performing any service, disconnect the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

14Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, Microwave Drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

15Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.

16Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range.

17Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.

Radiant Surface units

1Use proper pan size — this appliance has different size surface units. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of surface unit heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensils to heating element will also improve efficiency.

2Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

3Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,

Important safety instructions

earthware or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

4To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with utensils, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent surface units.

5Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

6Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Please see cleaning the glass cooktop section.

7Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

8When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

9Deep fat fryers - use extreme caution when moving the grease kettle or disposing of hot grease.

10Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.

11Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.

12Food for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

13Use little fat for effective shallow or deep fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

14Always heat fat slowly and watch as it heats.

15Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent heating fat beyond the smoking point.

16Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.

17Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or cooktop can lead to broken or shattered glass.

18Never use the glass cooktop surface as cutting board.

19Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.

20Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.

Microwave drawer

When using the Microwave Drawer, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

5Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars—are able to explode and should not be heated in the appliance.

6Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This appliance is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

8Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

9This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest Sharp Authorized Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment.

10Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

11Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water—for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or similar locations.

12Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14Do not climb or sit on the appliance. The range could tip and cause injuries to persons.

15Be sure that fingers or other objects or materials are not around the appliance opening when the appliance is closed.

16Do not put fingers or clothes around the drawer guides when the appliance is opened or closed. They could be caught in the guides when the appliance is closed.

17Be sure that the food and container are shorter than the drawer before closing it. You can refer to the height of the side walls of the drawer.

18When cleaning appliance sealing surfaces that come together on closing the drawer, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. See cleaning instructions on page 43.

19To reduce the risk of fire in the appliance cavity:

a Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the appliance to facilitate cooking.

b Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in appliance.

c If materials inside the appliance ignite, keep appliance door closed, turn microwave off and shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Important safety instructions

d Do not use the appliance for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the appliance when not in use.

20Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the appliance is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons: a Do not overheat the liquid.

b Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

c Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.

d After heating, allow the container to stand in the appliance at least for 20 seconds before removing the container.

e Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

21If the appliance light fails, consult a SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

OVEN

1Use care when opening door—let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

2Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

3Keep oven vent unobstructed.

4Always place oven racks in desired locations while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element.

5Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom, as use may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

6Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

7When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

8Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

9Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire.

10Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in oven can ignite.

11Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

1Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

2Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

3Clean only parts listed in this manual.

4Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, racks, and other utensils.

5If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

ABOUT the Cooktop

•Glass ceramic cooktop - Make sure the surface and the pan bottom are clean before turning on. Do not use the cooktop if the glass is broken or if metal melts on it.

•Radiant surface units - The radiant surface heating units are beneath the smooth glass ceramic cooktop. The design on the cooktop outlines the area of the surface unit underneath. When the cooktop is on, the cooktop-on indicator, next to the surface cooking control knob, comes on even if the cooktop unit doesn’t look red. The areas around the units may become hot enough to cause burns.

•Hot surface indicator - An indicator light, on the cooktop, comes on when the surface unit is turned on and the cooktop temperature increases. The indicator will remain on until the surface has cooled below 150˚F even after the unit is turned off.

•Temperature limiter - The radiant surface units have a temperature limiter that allows the unit to cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. It protects the glass ceramic cooktop from damage. Cycling at the HI setting can occur when improper cookware is used.

Note:

•Never leave any items on the cooktop. Hot units may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics or increase pressure in closed containers causing them to burst.

•Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop as they can cause damage if they drop on to the cooktop.

•Never cook directly on the cooktop. Always use cookware.

OPEN OR CLOSE MICROWAVE DRAWER

Always touch the OPEN or CLOSE pad on the control panel to open or close the Microwave Drawer.

Do not push or pull the Microwave Drawer by hand, except in case of emergency such as a power failure.

ABOUT COOKING UTENSILS

For best results and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils as below.

•Bottom of pan- Pans should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface unit. Check for flatness by using a straight edge. Pans with curved or warped bottoms are not recommended.

•Size of pan - Pan size should match the amount of food and the size of the surface unit. Do not use canners or frypans that exceed the width of the radiant surface units.

•Material of pan - Always use a utensil for its intended purpose. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. Some utensils were not made to be used on the cooktop.

•Position of pan - Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are using.

•Wok Cooking - Only a flat-bottomed wok is recommended. Do not use round-bottom wok or a wok with a support ring.

Note:

•Do not slide cookware across the cooktop surface because it can scratch the glass or may leave marks which need to be removed promptly.

•Never allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage the pan and the countertop.

•Do not use aluminum foil on the cooktop surface.

•Do not use cooktop as a cutting board.

2Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the desired heat setting.

3When cooking is completed, turn the knob to OFF. Remove pan.

How To set dual surface unit

The right front surface unit has 2 cooking sizes so that you can choose either to match the diameter of the cookware you are using.

1Place correct size cookware on the radiant surface unit.

2To use the small surface unit, push the knob in and turn it to the left, counter clockwise.

To use the large surface unit, push the knob in and turn it to the right, clockwise.

3 When cooking is completed, turn the knob to OFF. Remove pan.

Note for surface unit: A hot surface indicator light in the center of the cooktop will glow when a radiant unit is turned on. It will remain on until the surface is cooled to about

150˚F. Be sure the knob is turned to OFF when you have finished cooking.

The glass ceramic cooktop retains heat after the radiant surface units have been turned to OFF. If possible, turn the units off and allow foods to finish cooking with the retained heat. It may be necessary to remove the pan from the unit to prevent further cooking, also.

COOKTOP WARM ZONE

The Cooktop Warm Zone will keep hot cooked food at an ideal serving temperature. To turn Cooktop Warm on, touch the Cooktop Warm pad, then touch number 0 within 3 seconds. The red indicator will light. To turn the Cooking Warm Zone off, touch the Cooktop Warm pad.

CAUTION The Cooktop Warm Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but it does become hot enough to cause burns. Always use oven mittens when removing food from the Warm Zone as cookware and plates will be hot. Use only cookware recommended for top-of-range cooking. Do not use plastic wrap to cover foods. Plastic may melt on to the surface and be very difficult to clean.
