WARNING  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.  
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:  
a. Do not overcook food.  
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven.  
c. Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled.  
d. Lookattheovenfromtimetotimewhenfoodisheatedindisposablecontainersmadeofplastic,paper  
or other combustible materials for signs of smoke or burning.  
e. If materials inside the oven should ignite, or smoke is observed, keep oven door closed, turn oven  
off, and disconnect the power plug, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.  
To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling when handling the container.  
Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly therefore, it is very important  
that you select the appropriate cooking time and power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated.  
If you are unsure of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times and power levels  
until the food is sufficiently heated evenly throughout.  
Additionally:  
a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are  
considered to be sealed containers.  
b. Do not use excessive amount of time.  
c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container.  
d. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids.  
e. Stir the liquid before and during cooking. Use extreme care when handling the container or inserting  
a spoon or other utensil into the container.  
This oven is for home food preparation only and should only be used for heating, cooking and defrosting food  
and beverage.  
It is not suitable for commercial, laboratory use, or heating therapeutic devices eg. Wheat bags.  
Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.  
Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself.  
ItishazardousforanyoneotherthanaqualifiedservicetechniciantrainedbySHARPtocarryoutanyservice  
or repair operation. Especially those which involve the removal of a cover which gives protection against  
exposure to microwave energy are very hazardous.  
Donotoperatetheovenifitisnotworkingcorrectlyordamageduntilithasbeenrepairedbyaqualifiedservice  
technician trained by SHARP. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there  
is no damage to:  
(1) Door (warped), (2) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door Seals, Sealing Surfaces and oven  
cavity (buckled or deformed), (4) Burn marks on the door seal faces.  
Donotbump, orcatchutensils, looseclothesandyouraccessoriesonthedoorsafetylatcheswhenremoving  
food from the oven.  
Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the  
oven is operating.  
Never tamper with or deactivate the door safety latches.  
Always use oven gloves to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough  
heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.  
Should the power supply cord become damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord supplied by a  
SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY SHARP. And it must be replaced by a qualified service technician  
trained by SHARP in order to avoid a hazard.  
If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.  
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands.  
Slowly lift the furthest edge of a dish's cover including microwave plastic wrap etc., and carefully open  
popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.  
Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged, and that it does not run under the oven or over any hot  
surfaces or sharp edges.  
To prevent the turntable from breaking:  
a. Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the turntable to cool.  
b. Do not place anything hot on a cold turntable.  
c. Do not place anything cold on a hot turntable.  
Do not place anything on the outer cabinet.  
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.  
Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.  
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 hazards of improper use.  
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.  
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

COOKWARE AND UTENSIL GUIDE  
Advice  
Use  
Utensil  
GLASSWARE/CERAMIC  
(HEAT RESISTANT)  
YES  
GLASSWARE  
• Ordinary glass is not suitable for cooking but may be used for short periods for heating foods.  
CERAMIC  
• Most ovenproof china, and ceramics, are suited.  
• Avoid dishes that are decorated with gold or silver leaf.  
• Avoid using antique pottery.  
• If unsure, check with the manufacturer.  
METAL COOKWARE  
NO  
• Metal cookware should be avoided when cooking in the microwave oven.  
• Microwave energy is reflected by metal.  
PLASTIC WRAP/  
OVEN BAGS  
YES  
• Plastic wrap can be used to cover food.  
• Some shrinkage of the wrap may occur, over an extended cooking time.  
• When removing wrap, lift it in such a way to avoid steam burns.  
• Do not tie oven bags with metal twist ties, substitute with string.  
• For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in contact with the food as it may melt.  
MICROWAVE  
(
)
SAFE ONLY  
ALUMINIUM FOIL  
STRAW AND WOOD  
PAPER  
FOR  
• Small amounts may be used to shield certain parts of meat and fish when cooking or defrosting.  
SHIELDING • Remove food in foil trays, if possible, and place in a microwave safe dish.  
• If not possible, place the foil tray onto a heat proof plate allowing 2.5 cm between the walls of the oven.  
NO  
• Excessive over heating of these materials may cause a fire in the microwave oven.  
YES  
• Paper towels and waxed paper are suitable to use to prevent splatters.  
• These are suitable for use when reheating foods or for short cooking times.  
PLASTIC COOKWARE

HELPFUL HINTS  
1. THE ARRANGEMENT  
2. TURNING  
Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.  
Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be turned over after half the  
cooking time.  
4. PIERCING  
3. COVERING  
Cover foods in the microwave if you would normally cover the food in your  
ordinary oven, or to retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables, Casse-  
roles, or when Reheating.  
Pierce potatoes, eggs, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or membrane to  
allow steam to escape.  
Use to cover foods:  
TOMATO  
EGG  
6. STANDING TIME  
LID  
PLASTIC WRAP  
PAPER TOWEL  
5. SHIELDING  
Standing time is important. After cooking or defrosting ensure adequate  
standing time. This allows the food to continue cooking or heating. Refer to  
cooking guides for each menu or according to manufacturers instructions.  
Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat, fish  
and poultry or edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.  
8. SIZE  
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed up cooking, cut pieces  
smaller than 5 cm so microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all sides.  
For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.  
7. STIRRING  
FISH  
CHICKEN  
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during  
cooking if possible.  
Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.  
10. FAT AND BONE  
9. DENSITY  
Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking.  
Large fatty areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away from meat,  
and slows cooking. Centre bones do not affect cooking, but bone on the side  
of meat conducts heat to the areas next to it.  
Thedepthtowhichmicrowavespenetratefoodvariesdependingonthefood's  
density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes microwave faster  
than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.  
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE  
12. QUANTITY  
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to heat than food at room tempera-  
ture. Cooking times in this book are based on normal storage temperatures.  
Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ in temperature, check cooking  
result at the minimum time.  
Microwave cooking times are directly related to the amount of food in the  
oven. Because energy is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a single  
piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the energy is divided among several  
items, cooking takes more time.  
14. GENERAL  
13.CONDENSATION  
Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly  
therefore, itis very importantthatyou selecttheappropriate cookingtimeand  
power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated. If you are unsure  
of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times  
and power levels until the food is sufficiently heated evenly throughout.  
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and  
moisture in food will influence the amount of condensation in the oven.  
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered  
foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
