4.The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, therapeutic devices (e.g. 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.When the appliance is operated in the Grill/Combi and Convection modes. Children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperature generated.

9.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.

10.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.

11.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.

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

13.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. Use only microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave cooking modes.

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

17.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.

18.The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, dishes and accessories will become very hot during operation. Care should be taken to avoid touching these areas. To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves. Before cleaning make

sure they are not hot.

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

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

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

1

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.

BEFORE OPERATION

Plug in the oven. The oven display will display all functions, an audible signal will sound once.

This model has a clock function and the oven uses less than 1.0 W in SMART Eco Mode. For more information about SMART Eco Mode, see page 12. To set the clock, see below.

You may detect smoke or a burning smell when using the grill for the first time. This is normal and not a sign that the oven is not operating correctly. To avoid this problem, when first using the oven, heat the oven without food for 20 minutes on grill mode.

SETTING THE CLOCK

1.To set the 24 hour clock, press the CLOCK/TIMER button once and “00” will flash on the display.

2.Rotate the ENTRY dial until the correct hour is displayed, the input time should be within 0-23 (24-hour clock) .

3.Press the CONFIRM/+30S/START button, “00” will flash on the display.

4.Set the minutes. Rotate the ENTRY dial until the correct minutes are displayed, the input time should be

within 0-59.

5. Press the CONFIRM/+30S/START button once to start the clock“. Clock/Timer” will be flashing on the display.

NOTES:

•If the clock is set, when cooking is complete, the display will show the correct time of day. If the clock has not been set, the display will show “0:00”.

•In the process of clock setting, if the STOP/CANCEL button is pressed, the oven will go back to the former setting.

•If the electrical power supply to your microwave oven is interrupted. The time of day will also be erased.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL

Power Level	Rotate ENTRY dial	Display	• Your oven has 5 power levels, as shown.
		(Percentage)
HIGH	x1	P10
		(100%)
MEDIUM HIGH	x2	P8
		(80%)
MEDIUM	x3	P5
		(50%)
MEDIUM LOW	x4	P3
(DEFROST)		(30%)
LOW	x5	P1
		(10%)

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.

P3 -(MEDIUM LOW output = 270W) 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.

P1 - (LOW output = 90W) for gentle defrosting, e.g. cream gateaux or pastry.
