IMPORTANT SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

Oven Use:

The oven is for domestic food preparation only.

Never operate when empty, except as directed in the operation manual (see page 9).

Do not leave or store anything inside the oven when not in use.

Never attempt to use the oven with the door open. It is important not to force or tamper with the door safety latches.

Never operate the oven with any object caught in the door.

Do not insert fingers or objects in the holes of the door latches or air-vent openings as this may damage the oven and cause an electric shock.

If water or food drops inside the air vent openings switch off the oven immediately, unplug it and call a Service Technician appointed by SHARP.

(See page 44).

Never move the oven while it is operating.

Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings, accessories and dishes during GRILL mode, DUAL GRILL mode, EXPRESS COOK, AUTO COOK and MEAL IN ONE operations, unless wearing thick oven gloves, as they will become hot. Before cleaning make sure they are not hot.

Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker, consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer prior to oven use.

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.

Fire: If smoke is observed, switch off and unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

Liquids: Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container. Stir the liquid prior to and during heating/reheating, let liquid stand in the oven after cooking.

MAFFHEATING CATEGORY

The heating category (a letter A to E) developed by MAFF (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food) with microwave oven and food manufacturers indicates the ability of the oven to heat small quantities of food (up to 500g [1lb 2oz]). It does not represent the general performance of the oven.

Food packs carry cooking instructions for heating categories A to E. Follow instructions for the letter corresponding to the oven’s heating category. The higher the output power and heating category of the oven the less heating time is required. As shown opposite.
