WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven. c. Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled. d. Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated in disposable containers made of plastic, paper
or other combustible materials for signs of smoke or burning.
e. If materials inside the oven should ignite, or smoke is observed, keep oven door closed, turn oven
off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling: Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly therefore, it is very important that you select the appropriate cooking time and power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated. If you are unsure of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times and power levels until the food is sufficiently heated evenly throughout. Additionally:
a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are
considered to be sealed containers. b. Do not use excessive amount of time. c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container. d. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids. e. Stir the liquid before and during cooking. Use extreme care when handling the container or inserting
a spoon or other utensil into the container.
This oven is for food preparation only and should only be used for heating, cooking and defrosting food and beverage. It is not suitable for laboratory use, or heating therapeutic devices eg. Wheat bags. The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.
Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven. Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.
It is hazardous for anyone other than a qualified service technician trained by SHARP to carry out any service or repair operation. Especially those which involve the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy are very hazardous.
Do not operate the oven if it is not working correctly or damaged until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician trained by SHARP. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to: (1) Door (warped), (2) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door Seals, Sealing Surfaces and oven cavity (buckled or deformed), (4) Burn marks on the door seal faces.
Do not bump, or catch utensils, loose clothes and your accessories on the door safety latches when removing food from the oven.
Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating.
Never tamper with or deactivate the door safety latches. Always use oven gloves 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. Should the power supply cord become damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord supplied by a
SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY SHARP. And it must be replaced by a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the furthest edge of a dish's cover and microwave plastic wrap and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged, and that it does not run under the oven or over any hot surfaces or sharp edges.
Do not place anything on the outer cabinet. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking. 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. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not use the oven near the steamer and fryer. Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for
precautions regarding microwave ovens.

SPECIAL NOTES
DO DON’T
Eggs, fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables, sausages and oysters
Popcorn
Baby food
General
* Puncture egg yolks and whites and
oysters before cooking to prevent "explosion".
* Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,
squash, hot dogs, sausages and oysters so that steam escapes.
* Use specially bagged popcorn for the
microwave oven.
* Listen while popping corn for the
popping to slow to 1-2 seconds.
* Transfer baby food to small dish and
heat carefully, stirring often. Check for suitable temperature to prevent burns.
* Remove the screw cap and teat
before warming baby bottles. After warming shake thoroughly. Check for suitable temperature.
* Food with filling should be cut after
heating, to release steam and avoid burns.
* Use a deep bowl when cooking liquids
or cereals to prevent boiling over.
* Cook eggs in shells. This prevents
"explosion", which may damage the
oven or injure yourself. * Reheat whole eggs. * Overcook oysters. * Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
* Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or
glass bowls. * Exceed maximum time on popcorn
package.
* Heat disposable bottles. * Overheat baby bottles.
Only heat until warm. * Heat bottles with nipples on.
* Heat baby food in original jars.
* Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air
tight containers.
* Deep fat fry. * Heat or dry wood, herbs, wet papers,
clothes or flowers. * Operate the oven without a load (i.e. an
absorbing material such as food or wa-
ter) in the oven cavity.
Liquids (Beverages)
Canned foods
Sausage rolls, Pies, Christmas pudding
Meats
Utensils
Aluminium foil
Browning dish
* For boiling or cooking liquids see
WARNING on page 1 to prevent explosion and delayed eruptive boiling.
* Remove food from can.
* These foods have high sugar and/or
fat contents.
* Cook for the recommended time.
* Use a microwave proof roasting rack
to collect drained juices.
* Check the utensils are suitable for
MICROWAVE cooking before you use them.
* Use to shield food to prevent over
cooking.
* Watch for sparking. Reduce foil or
keep clear of cavity walls.
* Place a suitable insulator such as a
microwave and heat proof dinner plate between the ceramic shelf and the browning dish.
* Heat for longer than recommended
time.
* Heat or cook food while in cans.
* Overcook as they may catch fire.
* Place meat directly on the ceramic
shelf for cooking.
* Use metal utensils for MICROWAVE
cooking. Metal reflects microwave
energy and may cause an electrical
discharge known as arcing.
* Use too much. * Shield food close to cavity walls.
Sparking can damage the cavity.
* Exceed the preheating time recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Exces-
sive preheating can damage internal
parts of the oven.

HELPFUL HINTS
1. THE ARRANGEMENT Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas to-
ward outside of dish.
2. TURNING Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be
turned over after half the cooking time.
3. COVERING Cover foods in the microwave if you would normally
cover the food in your ordinary oven, or to retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables, Casse­roles, or when Reheating. Use to cover foods:
LID
PAPER TOWELPLASTIC WRAP
5. SHIELDING Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield
thin areas of meat, fish and poultry or edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.
7. STIRRING
CHICKENFISH
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during cooking if possible. Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.
9. DENSITY The depth to which microwaves penetrate food
varies depending on the food's density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes micro­wave faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to heat
than food at room temperature. Cooking times in this book are based on normal storage tempera­tures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ in temperature, check cooking result at the mini­mum time.
4. PIERCING Pierce potatoes, eggs, tomatoes or any foods with
a skin or membrane to allow steam to escape.

6. STANDING TIME Standing time is important. After cooking or de-
frosting ensure adequate standing time. This al­lows the food to continue cooking or heating.
8. SIZE Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To
speed cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm so microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all sides. For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.
10. FAT AND BONE Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on
a roast, speeds cooking. Large fatty areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away from meat, and slows cooking. Centre bones do not affect cooking, but bone on the side of meat conducts heat to the areas next to it.
12. QUANTITY Microwave cooking times are directly related to
the amount of food in the oven. Because energy is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a single piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the energy is divided among several items, cooking takes more time.
13.CONDENSATION Condensation is a normal part of microwave cook-
ing. The humidity and moisture in food will influence the amount of condensation in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
14. GENERAL Your microwave oven is capable of heating food
and beverages very quickly therefore, it is very important that you select the appropriate cooking time and power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated. If you are unsure of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times and power levels until the food is sufficiently heated evenly throughout.

For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in
contact with the food as it may melt.
Small amounts may be used to shield certain parts of meat and fish when cooking or defrosting.
Remove food in foil trays, if possible, and place in a microwave safe dish.
If not possible, place the foil tray onto a heat proof plate allowing 2.5 cm room between the walls of the oven.
