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

14.

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 white, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.

15.

Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the oven. Refer to pages 3 and A-6.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

WARNING

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 food container. Your oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly with microwave energy, 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 for at least 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 grill 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. There is enough heat from the food that can transfer through utensils and 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 dishes cover including 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 that the food and utensil do not touch the interior walls during cooking.

15. Ensure handles of utensils do not touch walls when turntable rotates. Take care as handles may become extremely hot.

Generally the following recommendations apply: P10 - (HIGH output = 900W ) used for fast cooking or reheating

e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc. P8 - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 720W) used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will cook evenly without over cooking on the sides. P5 - (MEDIUM output = 450W) for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef casserole, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.

Stand

Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted. Defrosting is not complete once the food is removed from the microwave oven. Food must stand, covered, for a length of time to ensure the centre has completly defrosted.

Turn over

It is essential that all foods are turned over at least 3 - 4 times during defrosting. This is important to ensure thorough defrosting.

COOKING AND UTENSIL GUIDE

A-6

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.

Aluminium foil / Foil containers

Browning dishes

Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not recommended unless specied by the manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil®, follow instructions carefully.

Always follow the manufacturers instructions. Do not exceed heating times given. Be very careful as these dishes become very hot.

Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually suitable, except for those with metallic decoration.
