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 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 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 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 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 in order to avoid a hazard.

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 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 young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.Remove all packing materials from the oven cavity, (do not remove the waveguide cover), and the feature sticker from the outside of the door, if there is one. Check the unit for any damage, such as a misaligned door, damaged door seals around the door or dents inside the oven cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, please do not operate the oven until it has been checked by a SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY SHARP and repaired, if necessary.

2.Accessories provided

1) Turntable

2) Roller stay

3)Operation manual and Cook book

3.Place the roller stay in the coupling on the oven floor, then place the turntable on to the roller stay, ensuring it is located firmly. Refer to OVEN DIAGRAM below. NEVER operate the oven without the roller stay and turntable.

4.The oven should not be installed in any area where excessive heat and steam are generated, for example, next to a conventional oven unit. The oven should be installed so as not to block ventilation openings. When mounting on bench top : Allow at least 15cm on the top, 10cm on the both sides and 5cm at the rear of the oven for adequate air circulation.

WARNING: The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.

5.Neither the manufacturer nor the distributors can accept any liability for damage to the machine or personal injury for failure to observe the correct electrical connecting procedure.

The A.C. voltage must be single phase 230 – 240V, 50Hz.

6.This appliance must be earthed.

7.Operate the oven from a general purpose domestic outlet.

If a generator is used, do not operate the oven with non-sinusoidal outputs.

8.For 330J(W), building the oven into the wall. A Sharp built-in kit model number RK-J31W is available which enables the microwave oven to be integrated within a kitchen, the kit is available from your retailer. This builtin kit has been tested according to Australian Standards. Sharp does not recommend the use of any other built-in kit. If the oven is to be positioned near a conventional oven, ensure that adequate space is allowed, and a suitable heat shield is incorporated between the two to prevent damage to the oven and the built-in kit caused by heat.
