IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10. WARNING: 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. Never adjust,
repair or modify the oven yourself.
11. If the power supply cord of this
appliance is damaged, it must be
replaced by an authorised SHARP
service agent in order to avoid a
hazard.
12. WARNING: Liquids and other
foods must not be heated in
sealed containers since they are
liable to explode.
13. Microwave heating of beverages
can result in delayed eruptive
boiling, therefore care must
be taken when handling the
container.
14. Eggs in their shell, and whole
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.

safe containers and utensils on
microwave modes.

and baby food jars shall be stirred
or shaken and the temperature
checked before consumption, in
order to avoid burns.

paper containers, keep an eye
on the oven due to the possibility
of ignition.

unplug the appliance and keep
the door closed in order to stifle
any flames.

regularly and any food deposits
removed.

a clean condition could lead to
deterioration of the surface that
could adversely affect the life of
the appliance and possibly result
in a hazardous situation.

cleaners or sharp metal scrapers
to clean the oven door glass
since they can scratch the
