WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. To reduce the risk of fi re 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 plug, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
f. After use, wipe the waveguide cover with a damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth to remove any food
splashes and grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to cause smoke or catch fi re.
2. To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling when handling the container.
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 suffi ciently heated evenly throughout.
Additionally:
a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles fi tted 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.
3. This oven is for home food preparation only and should only be used for heating, cooking and defrosting
food and beverage.
It is not suitable for commercial, laboratory use, or heating therapeutic devices eg. Wheat bags.
4. Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.
5. Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.
It is hazardous for anyone other than a qualifi ed 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.
6. Do not operate the oven if it is not working correctly or damaged until it has been repaired by a qualifi ed
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.
7. Handle with care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the safety door latches.
8. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while
the oven is operating.
9. Never tamper with or deactivate the door safety latches.
10. 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.
11. 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 qualifi ed service technician trained
by SHARP in order to avoid a hazard.
12. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualifi ed service technician trained by SHARP.
13. Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands.
Slowly lift the furthest edge of a dish's cover including microwave plastic wrap etc., and carefully open
popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
14. 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.
15. To prevent the turntable from breaking:
a. Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the turntable to cool.
b. Do not place anything hot on a cold turntable.
c. Do not place anything cold on a hot turntable.
16. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet.
17. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
18. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

MICROWAVE COOKING TECHNIQUES
Arrange food carefully
Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
Watch cooking time
Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time
as needed.
Food severely over-cooked can smoke or ignite.
Cover foods before cooking
Check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic wrap
or a lid.
Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
(Helps keep oven clean)
Shield foods
Use small pieces of aluminium foil to cover thin areas of meats or
poultry in order to avoid overcooking.
Stir foods
From outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking,
if possible.
Turn foods
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned over
once during cooking.
Rearrange foods
Like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom
and from the center of the dish to the outside.
Allow standing time
After cooking ensure adequate standing time.
Remove food from oven and stir if possible.
Cover for standing time which allows the food to fi nish cooking
without overcooking.
Check for doneness
Look for signs indicating that cooking temperature has been reached.
Doneness signs include:
– Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
– Poultry thigh joints move easily.
– Pork and poultry show no pinkness.
– Fish is opaque and fl akes easily with a fork.
Condensation
A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture
in food will infl uence the amount of moisture in the oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered
foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
Browning dish
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 turntable, roller stay and coupling due to heat stress.
The preheating time specifi ed in the dish's instructions must not be
exceeded.
Microwave safe plastic wrap
For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in
contact with the food as it may melt.
Microwave safe plastic
cookware
Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking
foods with high fat and sugar content.
