SUITABLE COOKWARE

WARNING - Always attend the oven when in use.

Carefully follow the SHARP Operation Manual at all times. If you exceed recommended cooking times and/or use power levels that are too high, food may overheat, burn, and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.

•The microwave power level will default to HIGH (100%) unless you press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL key

to reach the desired setting. Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, e.g, Christmas pudding, mince pies and fruit cakes. Before use, check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

WARNING - Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

•Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before using them in the oven. If you do not, steam and pressure will build up inside and the container may explode. Take care when heating contents in babies bottles, see page 27.

•Eggs in their shell and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave heating has ended. Do not heat canned potatoes in the microwave oven as they may burst.

•Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable.

For microwaving, use only those utensils suitable for microwave cookery as indicated below. A variety of cookware can be used for microwaving. Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in the corners tends to overcook.
