IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To avoid the danger of fire
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.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so
that the unit can be unplugged easily in an
emergency.
The AC power supply must be 230V, 50Hz, with a
minimum 16A distribution line fuse, or a minimum
16A distribution circuit breaker.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If food being heated 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.
Use only microwave-safe containers and
utensils. See Page 21.
Do not leave the oven unattended when
using disposable plastic, paper or other
combustible food containers.
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.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation
openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from
food and food packages. Arcing on metallic
surfaces may cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep
frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and
the oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, use only special microwave
popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the
oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure
the oven is operating as desired.
See the corresponding hints in this operation
manual and the cookery book section.
To avoid the possibility of injury
WARNING:
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or
malfunctioning. Check the following before use:
a)The door; make sure the door closes properly
and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.
b)The hinges and safety door latches; check to
make sure they are not broken or loose.
c)The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure
that they have not been damaged.
d)Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make
sure there are no dents.
e)The power supply cord and plug; ensure that
they are not damaged.
Never adjust , repair or modify the oven
yourself. It is hazardous for anyone
other than a competent person to carry
out any service or repair operation
which involves the removal of a cover
which gives protection against exposure
to microwave energy.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or
alter the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object
between the door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up
on the door seals and adjacent parts.
Follow instructions for “Care and
Cleaning”, Page 20.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with
their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker
for precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock
Under no circumstances should you remove the
outer cabinet.
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 an authorised SHARP service agent.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing
food from the oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands
to avoid steam burns.
To avoid burns, always test food
temperature and stir before serving and
pay special attention to the temperature
of food and drink given to babies,
children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication
of the temperature of the food or drink; always
check the food temperature.
Always stand back from the oven door when
opening to avoid burns from escaping steam and
heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the door to prevent them
burning themselves.
Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear
cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings,
accessories and dishes during GRILL mode, DUAL
GRILL mode and AUTOMATIC operation as they
will become hot. Before cleaning make sure they
are not hot.
To avoid misuse by children
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.
Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not
play with the oven or use it as a toy.
Children should be taught all important safety
instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of
food coverings; paying special attention to
packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to
make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.
Do not allow the power supply cord to run over
any hot or sharp surfaces, such as the hot air vent
area at the top rear of the oven.
Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or
allow anyone who is not an electrician authorised
by SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please
consult your dealer or an authorised SHARP service
agent.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord.
The exchange must be made by an authorised
SHARP service agent.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and
sudden boiling:
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must
not be heated in sealed containers since
they are liable to explode.
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.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Microwave heating of beverages can
result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care has to be taken when
handling the container.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar
utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.
3. Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking
time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.
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.

consult an authorised, qualified electrician.
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.
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 microwave leakage or a
malfunction.
Other warnings
Never modify the oven in any way.
This oven is for home food preparation only and
may only be used for cooking food. It is not
suitable for commercial or laboratory use.
To promote trouble-free use of your oven
and avoid damage.

long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg.
beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting
to ensure the meat will be tender.
30 P (240 W Defrost setting) to defrost, select this
power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts
evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice,
pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.
10 P (80 W) For gentle defrosting, eg. cream
gateaux or pastry.
