IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
To avoid the danger of fire
The microwave oven should not be left unattended during operation. Power levels that are too high or cooking times that are too long may overheat foods resulting in a fire.
This oven is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit. The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency. The AC power supply must be 230 V, 50 Hz, with a minimum 16 A distribution line fuse, or a minimum 16 A distribution circuit breaker.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is generated. For example, close to a conventional oven. Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity or where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If food being heated begins to smoke, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and unplug the oven and wait until the food has stopped smoking. Opening the door while food is smoking may cause a fire.
Use only microwave-safe containers and utensils. See Page 22 - 23.
Do not leave the oven unattended when using disposable plastic, paper or other combustible food containers.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the turntable and roller stay after use. These must be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, use only special microwave popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven. Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure the oven is operating as desired.
See the corresponding hints in this operation manual and the cookery book section.
To avoid the possibility of injury
WARNING:
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the following before use: a)The door; make sure the door closes properly
and ensure it is not misaligned or warped. b)The hinges and door safety latches; check to
make sure they are not broken or loose.
c)The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that they have not been damaged.
d)Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure there are no dents.
e)The power supply cord and plug; ensure that they are not damaged.
Never adjust , repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. Follow the instructions for “Care and Cleaning” on page 20. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock
Under no circumstances should you remove the outer cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately, and call an authorised SHARP service agent.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Do not let the power supply cord hang over the edge of a table or work surface.
ENGLISH

R-65ST English 03/02/2005 15:52 Page 6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Keep the power supply cord away from heated surfaces, including the rear of the oven.
Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or allow anyone who is not an electrician authorised by SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange must be made by an authorised SHARP service agent.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling:
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due to a build up of pressure even after the oven has been turned off.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a widemouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:
1.Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2.It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.
3.Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the oven at the end of cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave cooking 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.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns.
To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink; always check the food temperature.
Always stand back from the oven door when opening to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the door to prevent them burning themselves.
Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings, accessories and dishes during GRILL mode, DUAL GRILL mode and EXPRESS COOK operation as they will become hot. Before cleaning make sure they are not hot.
To avoid misuse by children
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.
Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play with the oven or use it as a toy.
Children should be taught all important safety instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of food coverings; paying special attention to packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.
Other warnings
Never modify the oven in any way.
Do not move the oven while it is in operation.
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.
To promote trouble-free use of your oven and avoid damage.
Never operate the oven when it is empty except where recommended in the operation manual, see Page 11 Note 2. Doing so may damage the oven. When using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the turntable and roller stay due to heat stress. The preheating time specified in the dish’s
6 instructions must not be exceeded.
R-65ST English 03/02/2005 15:52 Page 7
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the oven.
Use only the turntable and the roller stay designed for this oven. Do not operate the oven without the turntable.
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 a cold turntable.
(c)Do not put cold foods or cold utensils on a hot turntable.
Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation.
Do not use plastic containers for microwaving if the oven is still hot from using the GRILL mode, DUAL GRILL mode and EXPRESS COOK operation, because they may melt. Plastic containers must not be used during above modes unless the container manufacturer says they are suitable.
NOTE:
If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please consult an authorised, qualified electrician. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedure.
Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on the oven walls or around the door seals and sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.
INSTALLATION
1.Remove all packing materials from the inside of the oven cavity. Discard the loose polythene sheet from between the door and cavity. Remove the feature sticker, if attached, from the outside of the door.
Do not remove the protective film attached to the inside of the door.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL
Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe section. Generally the following recommendations apply:
100 P (800 W) used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish, etc.
70 P (560 W) used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.
50 P (400 W) for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.
30 P (240 W Defrost setting) to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
10 P (80 W) For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.
P = PERCENTAGE
To set the microwave power level :
Rotate the TIMER/WEIGHT/POWER knob clockwise to select cooking time. Press the COOKING MODE button once (microwave only).
To change the microwave power level rotate the knob until the desired power level is reached. Press the START/+1min button.
