1. 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.
2. This oven is not designed to be built-in to a wall or
cabinet.
3. The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so
that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emer-
gency.
4. The AC power supply must be 220V, 50Hz.
5. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
6. Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional
oven.
7. Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity
or where moisture may collect.
8. Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
9. If food being heated in the oven begins to smoke,
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and unplug
the oven and wait until the food has stopped
smoking. Opening the door while food is smoking
may cause a fire.
10. Use only microwave-safe containers and utensils.
11. Do not leave the oven unattended when
using disposable plastic, paper or other combusti-
ble food containers.
12. Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the
turntable and roller stay after use. These must be
dry and free from grease. Built-up grease may
overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.
13. Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings.
14. Do not block the ventilation openings.
15. Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from
food and food packages. Arcing on
metallic surfaces may cause a fire.
16. Do not use the microwave oven to fry with oil or heat
oil for deep frying. The temperature can not be
controlled and the oil may catch fire.
17. To make popcorn, use only special microwave
makers.
18. Do not store food or any other items inside
the oven.
19. Check the settings after you start the oven to
ensure the oven is operating as desired.
20. Do not put things on top or cover the outer cabinet.
21. To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be
taken when cooking or reheating foods with a high
sugar or fat content, for example, Sausage rolls,
Pies or christmas pudding.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock
1. Under no circumstances should you remove the
outer cabinet.
2. Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock
openings or ventilation openings. In the event of
a spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately,
and call a SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY
SHARP.
3. Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
4. Do not let the power supply cord hang over the
edge of a table or counter.
5. Keep the power supply cord away from heated
surfaces.
6. If the oven lamp fails, consult your dealer or a
qualified service technician trained by SHARP.
7. Should the power supply cord become damaged,
it must be replaced with a special cord supplied
by a SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY
SHARP. And it must be replaced by a qualified
service technician trained by SHARP.
To avoid the possibility of injury
1. Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or
malfunctioning. Check the following before use.
(1) The door (not warped)
(2) The hinges and safety door latches
(not broken or loose)
(3) The door seals and sealing surfaces
(4) The oven cavity (not dented)
(5) The power supply cord or plug
2. Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.
It is hazardous for anyone other than a qualified
service technician trained by SHARP to carry out
any service or repair operation.
Especially those which involve the removal of a
cover which gives protection against exposure to
microwave energy are very hazardous.
3. Do not operate the oven with the door open
or alter the safety door latches in any way.
4. Do not operate the oven if there is an object
between the door seals and sealing surfaces.
5. Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on

A39199, SM-SEARTEC R390H(S) O_M
To avoid the possibility of explosion
and sudden boiling
1. Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and
lids before use. Sealed containers can explode
due to a build up of pressure even after the oven
has been turned off.
2. When boiling water or other liquids, use a wide-
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape. It
is advisable to insert a glass rod or other similar
utensil to prevent sudden boiling (resulting in
splashing or burning).
3. Do not cook eggs in their shells. They may
explode. The explosion may damage the oven or
injure yourself. To cook or reheat eggs which
have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the
yolks and whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell
and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them
in the microwave oven.
4. Pierce the skin on such foods as potatoes,
sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may
explode.
5. Do not use excessive amount of time to heat.
6. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking
to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.
7. Stir the liquid before and during cooking. Use
extreme care when handling the container or in-
serting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
1. Never modify the oven in any way.
2. Do not move the oven while it is in operation.
3. This oven is for home food preparation only. It is
not suitable for commercial or laboratory use.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.
Other warnings
Caution
1. Never operate the oven empty except the direct-
ed case in the operation manual. Doing so may
damage the oven.
2. When using a browning dish or self-heating ma-
terial, always place a heat-resistant insulator
such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent
damage to the turntable and roller stay due to
heat stress. The preheating time specified in the
dish’s instructions must not be exceeded.
3. Do not use metal utensils for MICROWAVE cook-
ing, which reflect microwaves and may cause
electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the oven.
4. Use small pieces of aluminium foil to shield food
to prevent over cooking. Keep foil at least 2 cm
from the oven walls.
5. Use only the turntable and the roller stay de-
signed for this oven.
6. To prevent the turntable from breaking:
(a) Before cleaning the turntable with water,
leave the turntable to cool.
(b) Do not put hot foods or hot utensils on the cold
turntable.
(c) Do not put cold foods or cold utensils on the
hot turntable.
7. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during
operation.
- To prevent trouble with the
oven or damage.
1. If you are not sure how to connect your oven,
please consult a qualified electrician.
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can
accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe
the correct electrical connection procedure.
3. Water vapour or drops may occasionally form on
the oven walls or around the door seals and
sealing surfaces. This is a normal occurrence and
is not an indication of leaking of microwaves or a
malfunction.

ers, and test their actual temperature before
giving them to infants, young children or elderly
people to avoid internal burns.
6. Do not catch the utensil, your clothes or accesso-
ries on the door safety latches when you take out
the food from the oven.
1. Only allow children to use the oven without super-
vision when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use the oven in
a safe way and understands the hazards or
improper use.

1. THE ARRANGEMENT
Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.
3. COVERING
Cover foods in the microwave if you would normally cover the food in your ordinary oven, or to retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables, Casse- roles, or when Reheating. Use to cover foods:
5. SHIELDING
Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat, fish and poultry or edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.
7. STIRRING
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during cooking if possible. Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.
9. DENSITY
The depth to which microwaves penetrate food varies depending on the food's density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes microwave faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to heat than food at room tempera- ture. Cooking times in this book are based on normal storage temperatures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ in temperature, check cooking result at the minimum time.
13.CONDENSATION
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will influence the amount of condensation in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
TOMATO EGG
LID PAPER TOWELPLASTIC WRAP
FISH CHICKEN
HELPFUL HINTS
2. TURNING
Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be turned over after half the cooking time.
4. PIERCING
Pierce potatoes, eggs, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or membrane to allow steam to escape.
6. STANDING TIME
Standing time is important. After cooking or defrosting ensure adequate standing time. This allows the food to continue cooking or heating. Refer to cooking guides for each menu or according to manufacturers instructions.
8. SIZE
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed up cooking, cut pieces smaller than 5 cm so microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all sides. For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.
10. FAT AND BONE
Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking. Large fatty areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away from meat, and slows cooking. Centre bones do not affect cooking, but bone on the side of meat conducts heat to the areas next to it.
12. QUANTITY
Microwave cooking times are directly related to the amount of food in the oven. Because energy is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a single piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the energy is divided among several items, cooking takes more time.
14. GENERAL
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.

COOKWARE AND UTENSIL GUIDE
GLASSWARE • Ordinary glass is not suitable for cooking but may be used for short periods for heating foods. CERAMIC • Most ovenproof china, and ceramics, are suited. • Avoid dishes that are decorated with gold or silver leaf. • Avoid using antique pottery. • If unsure, check with the manufacturer. • Metal cookware should be avoided when cooking in the microwave oven. • Microwave energy is reflected by metal. • Plastic wrap can be used to cover food. • Some shrinkage of the wrap may occur, over an extended cooking time. • When removing wrap, lift it in such a way to avoid steam burns. • Do not tie oven bags with metal twist ties, substitute with string. • For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in contact with the food as it may melt. • Small amounts may be used to shield certain parts of meat and fish when cooking or defrosting. • Remove food in foil trays, if possible, and place in a microwave safe dish. • If not possible, place the foil tray onto a heat proof plate allowing 2.5 cm room between the walls of the oven. • Excessive over heating of these materials may cause a fire in the microwave oven. • Paper towels and waxed paper are suitable to use to prevent splatters. • These are suitable for use when reheating foods or for short cooking times. • Ideal for cooking, reheating and defrosting. • Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content. • Ensure that the preheating time of the dish is not exceeded. • Ensure that a microwave heat proof dinner plate or suitable insulator be placed between the turntable and the browning dish.
