ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States
Department of Agricultureʼs recommended temperatures.
160˚F / 71˚C - For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white
poultry, sh, seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
165˚F / 74˚C - For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated;
deli and carry-out “fresh” food.
170˚F / 77˚C - White meat of poultry.
180˚F / 82˚C - Dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or
dense area away from fat or bone.
• Accessible parts (e.g. oven door, oven cavity, dishes and
accessories) may become hot during use. Use dry pot hold-
ers or oven mitts when removing container, food and oven
accessories from the oven and be careful not to touch the oven
cavity to prevent burns.
• Use care when opening door. Avoid steam burns by directing
steam away from the face and hands. Always stand back from
the oven when opening it.
• Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering and oven
cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check cooking progress
frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.

informAtion you neeD to know
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high
quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so that the
utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the door
projection.
• Do not touch around the oven light. This area will become
hot when the oven light is on.
• To avoid burns, always be careful of splashing grease from
the baking tray when removing roasted or broiled meats
from the oven.
• To avoid burns, always test food and container temperature
and stir before serving. Pay special attention to the temperature of containers, foods and drinks. Do not drink beverage
or soup without checking the container’s temperature.
• Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven
cavity, ventilation openings, accessories, dishes and the
escaping steam from the air vent openings during operation
because they will become hot.
• Do not operate the oven if reservoir cracks and water leaks.
Call a Sharp Authorized Service Centre to purchase a
replacement part.
• After use, condensed water may be inside oven cavity,
especially on the oven oor. Dry any liquid residue with a

cooking as it might break.
• Do not pour cold water on the door as it might break.

may cause container to burst and result in injury.
• Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool.
If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact hot heating element in oven.
