1. This oven is designed to be used on a benchtop, on a shelf or built-in with a Sharp built-in kit. We do not recommend installing the oven under the benchtop or any other appliances. The appliance must not be placed in a cupboard. See page 5 for the installation. Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is 85 cm or more above the floor.

2. Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 15 cm. See page 5 for the other necessary spaces.

3. This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

• staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;

• farm houses;

• by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments;

• bed and breakfast type environments It is not suitable for commercial or laboratory use.

4. The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, therapeutic devices (eg. wheat bags), slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.

5. 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.

6. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

7. WARNING: 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.

8. WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by an authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician.

9. WARNING: Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than an authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

10. If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a service centre approved by SHARP in order to avoid a hazard.

11. WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

12. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

13. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated on microwave modes since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.

14. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the oven. See Page 2. Use only microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave modes.

15. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave modes.

16. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

17. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

18. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

19. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.

20. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be performed by children without supervision.

21. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

22. The appliance must not be cleaned with a steam cleaner.

23. See instructions for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts on page 19.

24. Handle with care when removing items from the oven so that the turntable does not displace.

Other warnings

1. 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.

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 microwaves, 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. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered

to be sealed containers. b. Do not use excessive amounts 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. Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.

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 door safety latches.

7. 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.

8. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualified 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 bags away from the face.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet.

13. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.

14. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
