WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. No other liquid than room temperature water suitable for drinking (filtered) can be poured into the water
tank.
b. The oven should not be left unattended during operation. High oven temperature or long cooking time
may overheat foods resulting in a fire.
c. Do not overcook food.
d. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.
e. Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled.
f. Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated in disposable containers made of plastic, paper
or other combustible materials for signs of smoke or burning.
g. If materials inside the oven should ignite, or smoke is observed, keep oven door closed, turn oven off,
and disconnect the power plug, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
h. Do not use containers made of synthetic material for cooking. They could melt at high temperature.
i. Do not use plastic containers if the oven is still hot because they may melt. Plastic containers must not
be used on SuperSteam Convection or Convection modes unless the container manufacturer claims
it is suitable.
j. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
k. When alcoholic beverage are added when roasting or cooking cakes and sweets, there is a risk that
vapours released by the alcohol may catch fire upon coming into contact with the electrical heating
element. Attend the oven closely during cooking.
2. To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling when handling the container. Your oven is
capable of heating food and beverages very quickly with microwave, 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. Babies bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered
to be sealed containers.
b. Do not use excessive amount of time.
c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container.
d. Stand at least for 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. This oven is for home food preparation only and should only be used for heating, cooking and defrosting food
and beverage.
It is not suitable for commercial, laboratory use, or heating therapeutic devices eg. Wheat bags.
4. Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.
5. Do not try to adjust or repair the oven by yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a qualified service
technician trained by SHARP to carry out any service or repair operation. Especially those which involve
the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy are very hazardous.
6. Do not operate the oven if it is not working correctly or damaged until it has been repaired by a qualified
service technician trained by SHARP. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that
there is no damage to:
(1) Door (warped), (2) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door Seals, Sealing Surfaces and oven
cavity (buckled or deformed), (4) Burn marks on the door seal faces.
7. Handle with care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the latches.
8. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while
the oven is operating.
9. Never tamper with or deactivate the latches.
10.Always use oven gloves to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough
heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
11.Should the power supply cord become damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord supplied by a
SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY SHARP. And it must be replaced by a qualified service technician
trained by SHARP in order to avoid a hazard.
12.If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.
