IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Oven Use:

•The oven is for domestic food preparation only. Never operate when empty, except in the directed case in the operation manual (see page 5).

•Do not leave or store anything inside the oven when not in use.

•Never attempt to use the oven with the door open. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the door safety latches. This may result in exposure to microwave energy.

•Never operate the oven with any object caught in the door sealing surfaces, this again may cause microwave leakage.

•Do not insert fingers or objects in the holes of the door latches or air-vent openings as this may damage the oven and cause an electric shock.

•If water or food drops inside the air vent openings switch off the oven immediately, unplug it and call a Service Technician appointed by SHARP.

•Never attempt to move the oven while it is operating.

•Do not hold the lower grill heater up other than for cleaning.

Childcare: 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 allow anyone to play with the oven, or lean or swing on the oven door.

Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker, consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer prior to oven use.

Fire: If food overheats, starts to smoke or burn: Keep oven door closed; Turn oven off; Switch off the power at the socket and disconnect the plug from the socket. Failure to follow this procedure may result in fire and oven damage.

Liquids: Take care when microwaving liquids and beverages. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling of liquid and possible scalding: Stir liquid prior to and during heating/reheating, let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking.

INSTALLATION

WARNING: Inspect the Oven:

Check the oven carefully for damage before and regularly after installation.

•Make sure the door closes properly, that it is not misaligned or warped.

•Check the hinges and door safety latches are not broken or loose.

•Ensure the door seal and sealing surfaces are not damaged.

•Inspect the oven interior and door

for dents. Important:

If any damage is apparent, do not operate the oven in any way. Contact your dealer or an authorised Service Technician appointed by SHARP.

1.Remove all packing materials including the feature sticker. Do not remove the plastic film from the inside of the oven window as this protects it from dirt.

2.Place oven on a secure, level surface, strong enough to take the oven weight, plus the heaviest item likely to be cooked in the oven.

3.Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or high humidity are generated, (for example, near or above a conventional oven) or near combustible materials (for example, curtains). Do not block or obstruct air vent openings, as obstructions may ignite due to the emission of hot air.

4.Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged (See Installation next page) and that it does not run under the oven or over any hot or sharp surfaces.

5.The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an emergency.

6. The oven door may become hot during cooking.

Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is 85 cm or more above the floor.

7.Do not use the oven

8.The minimum height
of free space	20cm
necessary above the
top surface of the oven
is 20cm.

MICROWAVING- INTRODUCTION

Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves and causes their molecules to vibrate. This creates heat by friction, in the same way your hands get warm when you rub them together.

The outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy and the remaining portions by conduction. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating. Where recommended, allow food to stand, this is not optional but is necessary to ensure thorough cooking. It is particularly important for dense food, such as joints of meat.

NOTES:

•Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.

•Microwaves are reflected by metal.

•The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage.

•Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving.

•See SUITABLE COOKWARE, page 22-23.

HOWTOOPERATETHE OVEN

with seven different temperatures by	200°C, 180°C, 160°C, 130°C,
combining the upper and lower grills.	100°C, 70°C, 40°C.

NOTES:

•Oven cooking is ideal for cooking buns, biscuits and scones. See recipes pages 49-50.

•When using the oven facility, all metal cookware can be used. See SUITABLE COOKWARE pages 22-23. To achieve the best results when cooking by OVEN, always use the low metal rack for one layer cooking.

•To convert recipes normally cooked using a convection oven:

•use the OVEN facility

•decrease cooking temperature by approx. 50 - 60°C.

This is necessary due to the additional heat generated during dual operation of the upper and lower grills.

If food is not cooked within the normal cooking time, add an extra 5mins then check again. Repeat this until food is cooked.

EXAMPLE:

–Convection cooking: Apple Pie 220°C for 20 minutes.
