Important safety instructions

dDo not use the appliance for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the appliance when not in use.

20Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the appliance is not always present.

THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons: a Do not overheat the liquid.

b Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

c Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.

d After heating, allow the container to stand in the appliance at least for 20 seconds before removing the container.

e Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

21If the appliance light fails, consult a SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

OVEN

1Use care when opening door—let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

2Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

3Keep oven vent unobstructed.

4Always place oven racks in desired locations while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element.

5Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom, as use may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

6Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

7When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

8Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

9Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire.

10Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in oven can ignite.

11Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

1Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

2Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

3Clean only parts listed in this manual.

4Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, racks, and other utensils.

5If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
