It is hazardous for anyone unplug the oven and wait until the food other than a competent person to carry has stopped smoking. Opening the door out any ser vice or repair operation while food is smoking may cause a fire. which involves the removal of a cover Use only microwave-safe containers and which gives protection against exposure utensils. See Page X. to microwave energy. Do not leave the oven unattended when using disposable plastic, paper or other combustible food containers. Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity and the turntable after use. After cooking fatty foods without a lid, always clean the cavity and especially the grill heating elements thoroughly. 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. 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.

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. 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 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 widemouthed 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 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 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 a v o i d b u r n s , a l w a y s t e s t f o o d 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 it, 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, bottom grill, accessories and dishes during GRILL, DUAL and AUTOMATIC operation (except AUTO DEFROST) 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 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 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. 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.

MICROWAVE POWER LEVELS
Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power level for cooking, follow the advice given in the recipe section. Generally the following recommendations apply: 800 WATT (800 P) 100 % used for fast cooking or reheating e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages, vegetables, fish, etc. 560 WATT (560 P) 70 % used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil over and food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides. P = POWER To select Microwaving, rotate the COOKING MODE dial to the MICROWAVE setting. Select the desired microwave power setting by pressing the WATT button. If the WATT button is pressed once, 800P (100 %) will be displayed. If you miss your desired level, continue pressing the WATT button until you reach the level again. If the level is not selected, the level 800P (100 %) is automatically set. 400 WATT (400 P) 50 % for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender. 240 WATT (240 P) 30 % (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. 80 WATT (80 P) 10 % For gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or pastry.

CARE AND CLEANING
Oven Interior 1. For cleaning, wipe any splatters or spills with a soft damp cloth or sponge after each use while the oven is still warm. For heavier spills, use a mild soap and wipe several times with a damp cloth until all residues have been removed. Do not remove the waveguide cover. 2. Make sure that mild soap or water does not penetrate the small vents in the walls which may cause damage to the oven. 3. Do not use spray type cleaners on the oven interior. Do not use a steam cleaner. 4. Heat up your oven regularly by using both heating elements, refer to Heating without food on page 11. Remaining food or fat splashed on the oven interior can cause smoke or a bad smell. Turntable Remove the turntable. Wash the turntable in mild soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. The turntable is dishwasher safe. Rack The rack should be washed in a mild washing up liquid solution and dried. The rack is dishwasher safe. Door To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and adjacent surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN. WARNING! After GRILL, DUAL and AUTOMATIC operation (except Auto Defrost) modes, the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet and accessories will become very hot. Before cleaning, make sure they have cooled down. Oven exterior The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel. Oven controls Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the oven controls. Care should be taken when cleaning the oven control. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.
