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.
See the corresponding hints in 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.
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
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. Clean the oven
at regular intervals and remove any food
deposits. Follow the instructions for “Care and
Cleaning” on page GB-19. Failure to maintain
the oven in a clean condition could lead to a
deterioration of the surface that could
adversely affect the life of the appliance and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
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.
Do not let the power supply cord hang over the
edge of a table or work surface.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
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.
This oven is designed for counter top or built-in use.
Do not place the oven in a cabinet. When the oven is
to be built-in, the installation frame EBR-4900 licensed
by SHARP must be used. This is available from your
dealer. Refer to the frame installation instructions or ask
your dealer for the proper instruction procedure. Only
the use of this frame will guarantee the safety and
quality of the product.
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.
A separate circuit serving only this appliance should be
provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity or
where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If smoke is observed, switch off or
unplug the oven and keep the door
closed in order to stifle any flames.
Utensils should be checked to ensure that
they are suitable for use in the oven. See
Page GB-XX. Use only microwave safe
containers and utensils on microwave
modes.
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due
to the possibility of ignition.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven
cavity and the turntable 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. GB-1
ENGLISH
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
R-798-A_[EN].qxd 7/16/07 2:52 PM Page GB-1

GB-2
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 and eruption of boiling.
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.
Accessible
parts may become hot during use. Young
children should be kept away.
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 it
to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
This appliance is not intended to be operated by means
of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
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. When the appliance is
operated in the GRILL, CONVECTION, DUAL, and
AUTOMATIC operation (except AUTO DEFROST),
children should only use the oven under adult
supervision due to the temperature generated.
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.
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.
Other warnings
Never modify the oven in any way.
Do not move the oven while it is in operation.
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.
Keep the power supply cord away from heated
surfaces, including the 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.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in
delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must
be taken when handling the container.
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.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked
containers such as baby bottles, as this
may result in the contents erupting from the
container when heated and cause burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
1. Do not use excessive amount of time (See page GB-
XX).
2. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
3. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil
(not metal) into the liquid whilst reheating.
4. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds 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.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
WARNING: 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.
Untitled-2 GB-2Untitled-2 GB-2 4/7/08 4:49:58 PM4/7/08 4:49:58 PM

Do not use plastic containers for microwaving if the
oven is still hot from using the GRILL, DUAL and
AUTOMATIC operation (except AUTO DEFROST),
because they may melt. Plastic containers must not
be used during above modes unless the container
manufacturer says they are suitable.
NOTE:
If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please
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.
To promote trouble-free use of your oven
and avoid damage.
Never operate the oven when it is empty except
where recommended in the operation manual, see
Page GB-8. Doing so may damage the oven.
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 due to heat stress.
The preheating time specified in the dish’s
instructions must not be exceeded.
Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves
and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans
in the oven.
Use only the turntable designed for this oven.
Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during
operation.
1. Remove all packing materials from the inside of the
oven cavity. Discard the loose polythene sheet from
between the door and cavity. Remove the feature
sticker, if attached, from the outside of the door.
2. Check the oven carefully for any signs of damage.
3. Place the oven on a flat, level surface strong
enough to support the oven’s weight plus the
heaviest item likely to be cooked.
This oven is designed to be used on a countertop
or built into a kitchen cabinet. When building the
oven into a kitchen cabinet, see "To avoid damage
of the fire" on page GB-1.
4. The oven door may become hot during
cooking. Place or mount the oven so that
the bottom of the oven is 85 cm or more
above the floor. Keep children away
from the door to prevent them burning
themselves.
5. 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.
6.Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the
oven of 19 cm.
7. Securely connect the plug of the oven to a
standard earthed (grounded) household electrical
outlet.
