(3) Door Seals, Sealing Surfaces and oven cavity (buckled or deformed),
(4) Burn marks on the door seal faces.
7. Do not catch the utensil, your clothes or accessories on the door safety latches when you take out the food
from the oven.
8. Should the power supply cord become damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord supplied or
approved by the SHARP SERVICE CENTRE. And it must be replaced by a qualified service technician
trained by SHARP.
9. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged, and that it does not run under the oven or over any
hot surface or sharp edges.
10. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.
11. After cooking, use oven mittens when taking out the food and avoid steam burns by directing steam away
from the face and hands.
12. Slowly lift the furthest edge of dish’s cover and microwave plastic wrap and carefully open popcorn and
oven cooking bags away from the face.
13. To prevent the turntable from breaking:

MICROWAVE COOKING TECHNIQUES
Arrange food carefully
Watch cooking time
Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time
as needed.
Food severely over-cooked can smoke or ignite.
Check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic wrap
or a lid.
Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
(Helps keep oven clean)
Use small pieces of aluminium foil to cover thin areas of meats or
poultry in order to avoid overcooking.
From outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if
possible.
Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned
over once during cooking.
Like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.
After cooking ensure adequate standing time.
Remove food from oven and stir if possible.
Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking
without overcooking.
Look for signs indicating that cooking temperature has been
reached.
Doneness signs include:
– Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
– Poultry thigh joints move easily.
– Poultry show no pinkness.
– Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in
food will influence the amount of moisture in the oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered
foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
When using a browning dish or self-heating material, always place a
heat-resistant insulator such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent
damage to the turntable, roller stay and coupling due to heat stress.
The preheating time specified in the dish's instructions must not be
exceeded.
For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in
contact with the food as it may melt.
Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking
foods with high fat and sugar content.
Cover foods before cooking
