Sharp AX-1100M operation manual To avoid misuse by children, Other warnings

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use care when opening door. To avoid burns from escaping heat and steam, let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns that can be caused by over boiling.

To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly.

The temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink; always check the food temperature.

Always stand back from the oven door when opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.

To avoid misuse by children

Do not lean or swing on the oven door.

Children should be taught all important safety instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of food coverings; paying special attention to packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.

Other warnings

Never modify the oven in any way.

Do not move the oven while it is in operation.

This oven is for home food preparation only and may only be used for cooking food. It is not suitable for commercial or laboratory use.

To promote troublefree use of your oven and avoid damage.

Never operate the oven when it is empty except where recommended in the operation manual. Doing so may damage the oven.

When using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the oven floor due to heat stress.

The preheating time specified in the dish’s instructions must not be exceeded.

Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and may cause electrical arcing.

Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation.

When the oven is in use, ventilate a room where the oven is installed. e.g. open a window or switch a kitchen ventilation.

Do not operate the oven if water tank cracks and water leaks. Please consult your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.

To prevent condensation which could corrode the appliance, do not leave cooked food in the oven for an extended period. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits in the oven or on the door.

Do not insert fingers or objects in the holes (the steam outlets or air-vent openings) as this may damage the oven and cause an electric shock or a hazard.

Do not touch the electric plug with wet hands. Plug into the electric wall socket securely. When removing the plug from the socket always grip the plug, never pull the power supply cord as this may damage the power supply cord and the connections inside the plug.

Never move the oven in operation. If the oven needs to be moved, drain all water inside the oven using DRAIN WATER function. After draining, empty the drip tray.

Be careful not to spill water on the door or control panel.

If the oven is dropped, on the floor, do not use the oven. Unplug and contact your dealer or an authorised SHARP Service Agent.

NOTE:

If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please consult an authorised, qualified electrician.

Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedure.

Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on the oven walls or around the door seals and sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and is not an indication of microwave leakage or a malfunction.
