WARNING  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.  
Do not put things on top of the oven or cover the outer cabinet.  
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.

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.

CARE AND CLEANING  
Disconnect the power supply cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven.  
Before cleaning ensure oven cavity is cool.  
CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS - Keep the oven clean and remove any food deposits, or it could lead to  
deterioration of the surface. This could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.  
Exterior: The outside may be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of harsh abrasive  
cleaners.  
Door: Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to  
remove any spills or spatters. Do not use abrasive cleaner.  
Touch Control Panel: Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Do not scrub or use any sort  
of chemical cleaners. Avoid the use of excess water.  
Interior walls: Wipe spatters and spills with a little dish washing liquid on a soft damp cloth. For heavier stains inside the oven cavity  
only, use a mild stainless steel cleaner applied with a soft damp cloth. Do not apply to the inside of the door. Wipe clean ensuring all  
cleaner is removed.  
After use wipe the waveguide cover in the oven with a soft damp cloth to remove any food splashes. Built-up splashes may  
overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.  
DO NOT USE CAUSTIC CLEANERS, ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANSERS OR SCOURING PADS ON YOUR OVEN.  
NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF YOUR OVEN.  
DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER. Avoid using excess water. After cleaning the oven, ensure any water is remove with a soft cloth.  
Note: At regular intervals, heat the oven referring to "Heating without Food" on page 10. Because, the splashed dirt  
or food oil remained around oven walls may cause the smoke and odour.  
Turntable/Turntable Support/Racks: Wash with mild soapy water and dry thoroughly.  
Note: Keep the waveguide cover and accessories clean at all times. If you leave grease or fat in the cavity or  
accessories, it may overheat, cause arching, smoke or even catch fire when next using the oven.

HELPFUL HINTS  
MICROWAVE COOKING  
1. ARRANGEMENT  
8. SIZE  
Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of dish.  
Eg. Arrange vegetables in a shallow dish in the following way:  
Hard Vegetables around the outside, Soft Vegetables  
in the centre, Medium Vegetables in-between.  
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed 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.  
9. DENSITY  
2. TURNING  
Thedepthtowhichmicrowavespenetratefoodvariesdependingonthefood's  
density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes microwave faster  
than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.  
Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be turned over after half the  
cooking time.  
3. COVERING  
10. FAT AND BONE  
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.  
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.  
Use to cover foods:  
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE  
Frozen or refrigerated food takes 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 for  
doneness at the minimum time.

PLASTIC WRAP  
PAPERTOWEL  
4. PIERCING  
Piercepotatoes,eggs,oysters,tomatoesoranyfoodswithaskinormembrane  
to allow steam to escape.  
12. QUANTITY  
TOMATO  
EGG  
5. SHIELDING  
Microwavecookingtimesaredirectlyrelatedtotheamountoffoodintheoven.  
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.  
Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat, fish and  
poultry or edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.  
13. CONDENSATION  
FISH  
CHICKEN  
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.  
6. STANDING TIME  
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.  
14.GENERAL  
7. STIRRING  
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.

* Remove turntable from the oven before preheating.  
* Fit the high rack on the turntable, place the food on the rack and pour 1/2  
cup of tap water on the turntable. (Otherwise the dripping fat drops onto the  
hot turntable causing the smoke).  
* The turntable should be fitted in the oven after preheating.
