When using the appliance, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

WARNING To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy:

1Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO

AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page 3.

3This appliance must be properly grounded. See page 6 for grounding instructions.

4Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided Installation Manual.

5Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars—are able to explode and should not be heated in the appliance.

6Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance. This appliance is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.

7As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

8Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been damaged or dropped.

9This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest Sharp Authorized Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment.

10Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.

11Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water—for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or similar locations.

12Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

13Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

14Do not climb or sit on the appliance.

15Be sure that fingers or other objects or materials are not around the appliance opening when the appliance is closed.

16Do not put fingers or clothes around the drawer guides when the appliance is opened or closed. They could be caught in the guides when the appliance is closed.

17Be sure that the food and container are shorter than the drawer before closing it. You can refer to the height of the side walls of the drawer.

18When cleaning appliance sealing surfaces that come together on closing the drawer, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. See cleaning instructions on page 19.

19To reduce the risk of fire in the appliance cavity:

a Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the appliance to facilitate cooking.

b Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in appliance.

c If materials inside the appliance ignite, keep appliance door closed, turn microwave off and shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

d Do 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.
