IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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. In cases where the oven is to be installed into kitchen cabinet, the installation frame EBR-9900 (W)/(SL) 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 230 V, 50 Hz, with a minimum 16 A distribution line fuse, or a minimum 16 A distribution circuit breaker. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance 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 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. 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. These must be dry and free from grease. Builtup 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 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 ser vice 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 33. 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.

Your oven has a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor detects the vapour from the food and calculates the correct microwave power level and cooking time. The SENSOR COOK key offers the possibility to easily cook 6 menus without entering the food quantity. To select the sensor cook menu, touch the SENSOR COOK key until the desired menu is displayed. The SENSOR COOK can only be input within 3 minutes after cooking completion, closing the door or pressing the STOP key. Always refer to the SENSOR COOK chart on page 24 before operating this function. NOTES: 1. After the oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using SENSOR COOK. 2. Once a SENSOR COOK programme has started, do not open the door or press the STOP key until the remaining cooking time appears on the display, unless following instructions to stir or turn over. During this time, Sensor technology senses humidity emitted from food as it heats and determines the cooking time. Opening the door or stopping the oven disturbs the humidity content and affects the cooking result. 3. Ensure food is thoroughly heated before serving. If additional heating is required, cook this manually. 4. Wipe off any moisture from the outside of cooking containers and the interior of the oven with a dry cloth or paper towel prior to cooking on SENSOR COOK. 5. If you want to alter the cooking results, press the LESS ( w ) or MORE ( v ) keys after selecting the menu (See page 17 for details). For best results use the cooking chart instructions. 6. If food requires manipulation (i.e. turn over or stir) then open the door, follow the instruction, close the door and press the +1 min /START key. 7. To cook the food weighing more or less than the weights/quantities given in the cooking charts, cook using manual programmes. EXAMPLE: Suppose you want to cook 300 g of fresh vegetables 1.
