Sharp R-642BKW - Manual (Page 168)

GB-6
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cook-
ing 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 con-
trol 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 haz-
ards of improper use. When the appliance is op-
erated in the GRILL, MIX GRILL and AUTO MENU
operation, 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, sen-
sory 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 in-
structions: 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 sur-
faces, 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 dam-
aged, 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 be-
fore 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 contain-
ers 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 pos-
sible scalding:
1. Do not use excessive amount of time.
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 mi-
crowave 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.
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food
from the oven to prevent burns.
