WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 qualifi ed service technician trained
by SHARP in order to avoid a hazard.
If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualifi ed 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 including microwave plastic wrap etc., 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 place anything hot on a cold turntable.
c. Do not place anything cold on a hot turntable.
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 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.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Stir frequently to ensure even reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.
To achieve the best results when reheating, select a suitable microwave power level appropriate to the type of
food. e.g. A bowl of vegetables can be reheated using 100%, while a lasagne which contains ingredients that
cannot be stirred, should be reheated using 50%.
NOTES:
• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.
ected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the
size, shape and material of the container.
WARNING:
Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting from
the container and may cause burns.
•
e.g. mince pies or Christmas pudding.
• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the
can.
WARNING:
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature
is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

Advice
• Plastic wrap can be used to cover food.
• Some shrinkage of the wrap may occur, over an extended cooking time.
• When removing wrap, lift it in such a way to avoid steam burns.
GLASSWARE
• Ordinary glass is not suitable for cooking but may be used for short periods for heating foods.
CERAMIC
• Most ovenproof china, and ceramics, are suited.
• Avoid dishes that are decorated with gold or silver leaf.
• Avoid using antique pottery.
• If unsure, check with the manufacturer.
• Metal cookware should be avoided when cooking in the microwave oven.
• Microwave energy is refl ected by metal.
• Do not tie oven bags with metal twist ties, substitute with string.
• Small amounts may be used to shield certain parts of meat and fi sh 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 between the walls of the oven.
• For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in contact with the food as it may melt.
• Excessive over heating of these materials may cause a fi re in the microwave oven.
• Paper towels and waxed paper are suitable to use to prevent splatters.
• These are suitable for use when reheating foods or for short cooking times.
• Ideal for cooking, reheating and defrosting.
• Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content.

• Ensure that the preheating time of the dish is not exceeded.
• Ensure that a microwave heat proof dinner plate or suitable insulator be placed between the turntable and the browning

8. SIZE
For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed up cooking, cut pieces
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.
10. FAT AND BONE
Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking.

piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the energy is divided among several
items, cooking takes more time.
12. QUANTITY
Microwave cooking times are directly related to the amount of food in the
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.
