Parts Names - Sharp R-21AM Operation Manual

To avoid the possibility of explosion
and sudden boiling
1. WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not
be heated in sealed containers since they are
liable to explode.
2. Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and
lids before use. Sealed containers can explode
due to a build up of pressure even after the oven
has been turned off.
3. Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked containers
such as baby bottles, as this may result in the
contents erupting from the container when
heated and cause burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:
1) Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
2) It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar
utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.
3) Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking
time to prevent delayed eruptive boling.
4. Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole
hard boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may explode
even after microwave cooking 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.
5. Pierce the skin on such foods as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
1. Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing
food from the oven to prevent burns.
2. Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands
to avoid steam burns.
3. To avoid burns, always test food temperature
and stir before serving and pay special
attention to the temperature of food and drink
given to babies, children or the elderly.
Temperature of the container is not a true indication
of the temperature of the food or drink; always
check the food temperature.
4. Always stand back from the oven door when
opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and
heat.
5. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
6. Keep children away from the door to prevent them
burning themselves.
7. Do not touch the back of the oven because it will
become hot.
To avoid misuse by children
1. WARNING: 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.
2. Children should use ovens only under supervision
of adults.
3. Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play
with the oven or use it as a toy. Young children
should be supervised to sensure that they do not
play with the oven.
4. Children should be taught all important safety
instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of
food coverings; paying special attention to
packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to
make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.
Other warnings
1. Never modify the oven in any way.
2. Do not move the oven while it is in operation.

To promote trouble free use of your oven
and avoid damage.
1. Never operate the oven when it is empty.
Doing so may damage the oven.
2. When using a browing dish or self-heating material,
always place a heat-resistant insulator such as a
porcelain plate under it to prevent damage to the
ceramic floor due to heat stress. The preheating
time specified in the dishes instructions must not
be exceeded.
3. Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves
and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in
the oven.
4. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during
operation.

1. If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please
consult an authorized qualified electrician.
2. Neither the manufacuture nor the dealer can accept
