IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. This oven is designed to be used on a benchtop, on a shelf or built-in with a Sharp built-in kit (not
available in all countries). We do not recommend installing the oven under the benchtop or any other
appliances. The appliance must not be placed in a cupboard. See page 5 for the installation.
Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is 85 cm or more above the floor.
2. Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 15 cm. See page 5 for the other
necessary spaces.
3. This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:
• staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
• farm houses;
• by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments;
• bed and breakfast type environments
It is not suitable for commercial or laboratory use.
4. The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and
heating of warming pads, therapeutic devices (eg. wheat bags), slippers, sponges, damp cloth and
similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.
5. 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.
6. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a service centre
approved by SHARP in order to avoid a hazard.
11. WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to
explode.
12. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken
when handling the container.
13. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated on microwave modes since they
may explode, even after microwave heating 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.
14. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the oven. See Page 2. Use
only microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave modes.
15. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave modes.
16. 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.
17. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of
ignition.
18. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle
any flames.
19. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.
20. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be performed by children without supervision.
21. 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.
22. The appliance must not be cleaned with a steam cleaner.
23. See instructions for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts on page 19.
24. Handle with care when removing items from the oven so that the turntable does not displace.

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, care should be taken when handling the
container. Your oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly with microwaves, 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. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered
to be sealed containers.
b. Do not use excessive amounts 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. Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.
4. Handle with care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do
not touch the latches.
5. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while
the oven is operating.
6. Never tamper with or deactivate the door safety latches.
7. 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.
8. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet.
13. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
14. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

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.

tight containers.
* Deep fry fat.
*Heat or dry wood, herbs, wet papers,
clothes or flowers.
*Operate the oven without a load (i.e. an
absorbing material such as food or wa-
ter) 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.

SUITABLE OVENWARE
To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to
penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware.
Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety
of cookware can be used as listed below.
Cookware Microwave
Safe
Comments
Aluminium foil
Foil Containers
܃/ ܇Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from
overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the oven walls, as arcing
may occur.
Foil containers are not recommended unless specied by the man-
ufacturer, e.g. Microfoil ®, follow instructions carefully.
Browning dishes ܃Always follow the manufacturers instructions.
Do not exceed heating times given. Be very careful as these dishes
become very hot.
China and ceramics ܃/ ܇Porcelain, pottery, glazed earthenware and bone china are usually
suitable, except for those with metallic decoration.
Glassware e.g. Pyrex ® ܃Care should be taken if using ne glassware as it can break or crack
if heated suddenly.
Metal ܇It is not recommended to use metal cookware as it will arc, which
can lead to re.
Plastic/Polystyrene e.g fast
food containers
܃Care must be taken as some containers warp, melt or discolour at
high temperatures.
Cling lm ܃It should not touch the food and must be pierced to let the steam
escape.
Freezer/Roasting bags ܃Must be pierced to let steam escape. Ensure bags are suitable for
microwave use.
Paper - Plates, cups and
kitchen paper
܃Do not use plastic or metal ties, as they may melt or catch re due
to the metal ‘arcing’.
Straw and wooden
Containers
܃Only use for warming or to absorb moisture.
Care must be taken as overheating may cause re.
Recycled paper and
newspaper
܇Always attend the oven when using these materials as overheating
may cause re.
May contain extracts of metal which will cause ‘arcing’and may lead
to re.
WARNING:
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, monitor the oven due to the possibility of
ignition.
