IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
To avoid the danger of fire.
The microwave oven should not be left
unattended during operation. Power levels that
are too high, or cooking times that are too long,
may overheat foods resulting in a fire.
This oven is designed to be used on a countertop only.
It is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit. Do not
place the oven in a cabinet. The electrical outlet must
be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged
easily in an emergency.
The AC power supply must be 230V, 50Hz, with a
minimum 10A distribution line fuse, or a minimum 10A
distribution circuit breaker.
A separate circuit serving only this appliance should be
provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is generated.
For example, close to a conventional oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity or
where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the
oven and keep the door closed in order to stifle
any flames.
Use only microwave-safe containers and
utensils. See Page GB-16. Utensils should be
checked to ensure that they are suitable for use
in microwave ovens.
When heating food in plastic or paper
containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the
possibility of ignition.
Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity,
the turntable and roller stay after use. These must
be dry and free from grease. Built-up grease
may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire.
Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings.
Do not block the ventilation openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food
and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may
cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep frying.
The temperature cannot be controlled and the oil may
catch fire.
To make popcorn, use only special microwave popcorn
makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure the
oven is operating as desired.
To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be
taken when cooking or reheating foods with a high
sugar or fat content, for example, Sausage rolls, Pies or
Christmas pudding.
See the corresponding hints in operation manual and
the cookery book section.
To avoid the possibility of injury
WARNING:
Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning.
Check the following before use:
a) The door; make sure the door closes properly and
ensure it is not misaligned or warped.
b) The hinges and safety door latches; check to make
sure they are not broken or loose.
c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that they
have not been damaged.
d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure there
are no dents.
e) The power supply cord and plug; ensure that they are
not damaged.
If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be
operated until it has been repaired by a competent person.
Never adjust , repair or modify the oven
yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other
than a competent person to carry out any
service or repair operation which involves
the removal of a cover which gives protection
against exposure to microwave energy.
Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the
door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object between
the door seals and sealing surfaces.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the
door seals and adjacent parts. Clean the oven
at regular intervals and remove any food
deposits. Follow the instructions for "Care
and Cleaning" on page GB-15. Failure to
maintain the oven in a clean condition could
lead to a deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of the appliance
and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with
their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for
precautions regarding microwave ovens.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock
Under no circumstances should you remove the outer
cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock
openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a spill,
turn off and unplug the oven immediately, and call an
authorised SHARP service agent.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in water
or any other liquid.
Do not let the power supply cord hang over the edge of
a table or work surface.
