When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING
- To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive
microwave energy:
1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2. Read and follow the specific
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY”
on page 1.
3. This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet.
See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”
on page 4.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers – for example, closed glass jars – are able
to explode and should not be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals
or vapors in this appliance. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.
7. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
8. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has
been damaged or dropped.
9. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact nearest Sharp
Authorized Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use this product near water – for example, near
a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or similar locations.
12. Do not use this appliance near the steamer or the fryer.
13. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
14. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
15. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
16. See door surface cleaning instructions on page 15.
17. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.
c. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off and disconnect the power
cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d. Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food
in the cavity when not in use.
18. Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave
oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven at least for 20 seconds before
removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.
19. If the oven light fails, consult a SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
