To avoid the possibility of injury
WARNING:
1. 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 safety door 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.
2.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter
the safety door latches in any way.
3.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object
between the door seals and sealing surfaces.
4. Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door
seals and adjacent parts. Follow instructions for
“Care and Cleaning”, Page 6
5. 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
1. Under no circumstances should you remove the
outer cabinet.
2.
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 a SHARP service agent.
3.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
4.
Do not let the power supply cord hang over the
edge of a table or work surfaces.
5.
Keep the power supply cord away from heated
surfaces, particularly the back of the oven.
6. Unplug the oven before replacing the oven lamp
.
To avoid the possibility of explosion
and sudden boiling
1. 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.
2.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked containers such as
baby bottles, as this may result in the contents erupting
from the container when heated and cause burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
1. Do not use excessive amount of time (See
page 9,10).
2. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
3. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar
utensil (not metal) into the liquid whilst reheating.
4. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the
oven at the end of cooking time to prevent
delayed eruptive boiling.
3. Pierce the skin on such foods as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
1. Use pot holders or oven gloves when remov-
ing food from the oven to prevent burns.
2. Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands
to avoid steam burns and eruption of boiling.
3.
To avoid burns, always test food temperature
and stir before serving and pay special atten-
tion to the temperature of food and drink given
to babies, children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a true indica-
tion of the temperature of the food or drink; always
check the food temperature.
4.
Always stand back from the oven door when open-
ing it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
5. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
6. Keep children away from the door to prevent them
burning themselves.
7. Do not touch the back of the oven because it will
become hot.
To avoid misuse by children
1.
Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play with
the oven or use it as a toy.
2. Children should be taught all important safety
instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of
food coverings; paying special attention to pack-
aging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to
make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.

2.
When using a browning dish or self-heating material,
always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a por-
celain plate under it to prevent damage to the ceramic
floor due to heat stress. The preheating time specified
in the dishes instructions must not be exceeded.
3.
Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and
may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the oven.
