This oven is designed to be used on a countertop only. It is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit. Do not place the oven in a cabinet.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.
If smoke or burn is observed: Keep the oven door closed and switch off the power by disconnecting the plug from the socket in order to stifle any flames. Failure to follow this procedure may result in fire and oven damage.
Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 25 cm.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.
WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
WARNING: Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent person to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised SHARP service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
WARNING: Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.
Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the oven. See page 14. Use only microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave modes.
WARNING: The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits.
Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
See instructions for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts on page 28.
The oven should not be cleaned with a water jet.
Use oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns.
The microwave oven should not be left unattended during operation. Power levels that are too high, or cooking times that are too long, may overheat foods resulting in a fire.
A separate circuit serving only this appliance should be provided.
