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
