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. If materials inside the oven should ignite, 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 explosion and sudden boiling:

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, When boiling liquids in the oven, use the wide-mouthed container and stand about 20

seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.

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.

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. The oven must be adjusted or repaired by a qualified

service technician trained by SHARP.

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 and Sealing Surfaces.

Always use oven mittens 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 supply cord become damaged, it must be replaced by a SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY
SHARP.

If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or 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.

To prevent the turntable from breaking:

a. Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the turntable to cool.
b. Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on the cold turntable.
c. Do not put cold foods or cold utensils on the hot turntable.
