IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This oven is designed to be used on a countertop, in a cabinet or built-in. See page 5 for the installation
instructions.
Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 15 cm. See page 5 for the other necessary spaces.
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 an authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician.
WARNING: Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than an
authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician 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 with a special cord. The exchange
must be made by a service centre approved by SHARP.
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
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 . Use only
microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave modes.
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.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.
The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
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 23.
Other warnings
1. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.
c. Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled.
2. To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling when handling the container.
Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly therefore, it is very important
that you select the appropriate cooking time and power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated.
If you are unsure of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times and power levels
until the food is sufficiently heated evenly throughout.
Additionally:
a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered
to be sealed containers.
b. Do not use excessive amount of time.
c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container.
d. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.
e. Stir the liquid before and during cooking. Use extreme care when handling the container or inserting a
spoon or other utensil into the container.

3. This oven is for home food preparation only and should only be used for heating, cooking and defrosting food
and beverage.
It is not suitable for commercial, laboratory use, or heating therapeutic devices eg. Wheat bags.
4. Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.

6. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while
the oven is operating.
7. Never tamper with or deactivate the door safety latches.
8. Always use oven gloves to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough
heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
9. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.
10. Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands.
Slowly lift the furthest edge of a dish's cover including microwave plastic wrap etc., and carefully open
popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
11. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged, and that it does not run under the oven or over any
hot surfaces or sharp edges.
12. To prevent the turntable from breaking:
a. Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the turntable to cool.
b. Do not place anything hot on a cold turntable.
c. Do not place anything cold on a hot turntable.
13. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet.
14. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.

* Puncture egg yolks and whites and
oysters before cooking to prevent
"explosion".
* Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,
squash, hot dogs, sausages and
oysters so that steam escapes.
* Use specially bagged popcorn for the
microwave oven.
* Listen while popping corn for the
popping to slow to 1-2 seconds.
* Transfer baby food to small dish and
heat carefully, stirring often. Check for
suitable temperature to prevent burns.
* Remove the screw cap and teat
before warming baby bottles. After
warming shake thoroughly. Check for
suitable temperature.
* Food with filling should be cut after
heating, to release steam and avoid
burns.
* Use a deep microwave safe glass
bowl when cooking liquids or cereals
to prevent boiling over.
* For boiling or cooking liquids see
IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS on page 2 to prevent
explosion and delayed eruptive boiling.
* Remove food from can.
* Cook for the recommended time.
(These foods have high sugar and/or
fat contents.)
* Use a microwave proof roasting rack
to collect drained juices.
* Check the utensils are suitable for
MICROWAVE cooking before you use
them.
* Use to shield food to prevent over
cooking.
* Watch for sparking. Reduce foil or
keep clear of cavity walls.
* Place a suitable insulator such as a
microwave and heat proof dinner plate
between the turntable and the
browning dish.
*
Cook eggs in shells. This can cause the
egg to "explode", which may damage
the oven or cause injury to yourself.
* Cook hard/soft boiled eggs.
* Overcook oysters.
* Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
* Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or
microwave safe glass bowls.
* Exceed maximum time on popcorn
package.

is an absorbing material such as food or
water) in the oven cavity.
* Heat for longer than recommended
time. See REHEATING-FOOD CHART
on page .
* Heat or cook food while in cans.
* Overcook as they may catch fire.
* Place meat directly on the turntable for
cooking.
* Use metal utensils for MICROWAVE
cooking. Metal reflects microwave
energy and may cause an electrical
discharge known as arcing.
* Use too much.
* Shield food close to cavity walls.
Sparking can damage the cavity.
* Exceed the preheating time recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Exces-
sive preheating can cause the glass
turntable to shatter and/or damage
internal parts of the oven.

air circulation. When installing in a cabinet, the minimum inside dimension of the cabinet should be
720mm(W) x 460mm(H) x 498mm(D).
When building the oven into a cabinet or wall, a Sharp built-in kit model number RK-J32W (white), is available
which enables the microwave oven to be integrated within a kitchen. The kit is available from your retailer.
Read carefully the installation instructions for the built- in kit before installation. This built-in kit has been
tested according to Australian Standards. Sharp does not recommend the use of any other built-in kit.
If the oven is to be positioned near a conventional oven, ensure that adequate space is allowed, and a suitable
heat shield is incorporated between the two to prevent damage to the oven and the built-in kit caused by heat.
WARNING: The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in
an emergency.
5. Neither the manufacturer nor the distributors can accept any liability for damage to the machine or
personal injury for failure to observe the correct electrical connecting procedure.
