SPECIAL NOTES & WARNING

2. To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling, care should be taken when handling the container. Your oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly with microwave, 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, and power levels until the food is suciently heated evenly throughout. Additionally:

a. Do not place sealed containers in the microwave. Babies bottles tted with a screw cap or teat are

considered to be sealed containers. b. Do not use excessive amount of cooking time. c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container. d. Do not heat for longer than reco e. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids. f. 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. Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and th

4. Handle with care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the latches.

5. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating.

6. Never tamper with or deactivate the latches.

7. Always use oven gloves to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in cont heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.

8. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualied service technician trained by SHARP.

9. 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 the face.

WARNING: Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.

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.

Place thicker food towards the outside of the dish and thinner food towards the centre.

Remove food from packaging before reheating /defrosting. Do not use foil or metal containers.

Food placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than food placed in the middle. It is recommended that the food is rearranged multiple times during defrosting to ensure more even defrosting.

Some areas of food may become warm during defrosting. To prevent these areas from cooking, shield with small pieces of foil, e.g.chicken legs and wings. This foil will reect the microwaves.

Standing time is critical when defrosting to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted all the way to its core. Always stand food in foil to quicken the defrost time.

Turn food over at least once during defrosting to ensure more even defrosting.

TIME DEFROST

The Time Defrost menu quickly defrosts food while enabling you to choose a suitable defrost time.

COOKING & UTENSIL GUIDE

To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware. Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety of cookware can be used as listed below.

Cookware Microwave

Aluminium foil / Foil containers

Browning dishes

China and ceramics

Glassware e.g. Pyrex ®

Metal

Plastic/Polystyrene e.g. fast food containers

lm

Freezer/Roasting bags

Paper - Plates, cups and kitchen paper

Straw and wooden containers

Recycled paper and newspaper
