IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to
avoid steam burns.
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.
The 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.
The door may become hot during
cooking, place or mount the oven so that
the bottom of the oven is 85 cm or more
above the floor. Keep children away from
the door to prevent them burning
themselves.
Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet,
bottom grill, ventilation openings,
accessories and dishes during the grill,
dual and automatic operation modes as
they will become hot. Before cleaning
make sure they are not hot.
Warning:
Only allow children to use the oven without
supervision when adequate instuctions 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 potholders, 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.
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, do not operate the oven, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or their service agent
or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a
hazard. A defective plug, power supply cord or
socket may overheat and catch fire during
operation or cause an electrical shock.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and
sudden boiling
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 wide-mouthed container to allow
bubbles to escape.
Never heat liquids in narrow-necked
containers 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
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 in the oven at the end of cooking
time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.
Eggs in their shell and hard boiled eggs should not
be heated in microwave ovens 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.
Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
Never touch the grill while it is hot.
Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food
from the oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
