To avoid damage to your oven. | —
1) Visual check
Check the oven carefully for any signs of
damage. Pay particular attention to:
a) The door; make sure the door closes prop-
erly 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 seal surfaces; ensure
that they have not been damaged.
d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; check
to be certain there are no dents.
If any damage is apparent please do not oper-
ate the oven in any way. Contact your dealer
or_an authorized SHARP Service Centre.
In this condition the oven may be leaking
microwaves.

2) Door
a) Do not attempt to operate the oven with
the door open. It is important not to defeat
or tamper with the safety door latches as it
could result in exposure to microwave en-
ergy with the door open.
b)Do not operate the oven with any object
caught in the door seal between the oven
front face and the oven door as this may
cause microwaves to leak out.
c) Never allow grease or dirt to build up on
the door seal and sealing surface as this
may prevent the door from closing correctly
and may cause a leakage of microwaves.
Wipe the seals and door regularly with a
damp cloth, preferably before splashes and
grease become dried on to the surface.
To avoid electric shock . ~
1) Outer cabinet
Under no circumstances remove the outer
cabinet. This would be very dangerous due to
high voltage parts inside which can be lethal.
2) Openings
'Do not insert fingers or objects in the holes of
the door latches or air vent openings. It may
cause an electric shock or damage the oven.
To avoid explosion and sudden
boiling
1) Lids
Always remove the lids of jars and
containers such as baby food jars, bab-
ies bottle teats, and take away food
containers, before you cook them in
your microwave oven. If you don't, then
steam and pressure might build up in-
side and cause an explosion even after
the microwave cooking has stopped.
2) Liquids
You must take care when you heat and boil
liquids in your microwave oven, as with any
other form of cooking. When you have heated
liquids.in your microwave oven, leave it in the
oven for 20 seconds and then take it out
carefully. This is particularly impértant if you
have used a cup, a mug or some other small
container, as the bubbles in the boiling liquid
may join together into one large bubble which
may push the boiling liquid out of the container
and scald you. sO
3) Eggs
Never cook eggs in their shells. Steam will
build up inside the shell during cooking and
the egg will explode. If you want to cook or
reheat eggs which have not been broken up
by scrambling or mixing, you must always
pierce the yolks or these will also explode.
You should slice shelled hard boiled eggs be-
fore you reheat them in your microwave oven.
4) Piercing
Always pierce food which has a skin or mem-
brane, for example, potatoes, tomatoes, apples,
sausages etc. If you don't pierce them steam
will build up inside and they may explode.
