unattended during operation. Power levels
that are too high, or cooking times that are too
long, may overheat foods resulting in a fi re.
2. The electrical outlet must be readily accessible
so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an
emergency.
3. The AC power supply must be 230V, 50Hz,
with a minimum 16A distribution line fuse, or a

generated. For example, close to a conventional
oven.
6. Do not install the oven in an area of high
humidity or where moisture may collect.
7. Do not store or use the oven outdoors.

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.

on page GB-17.
5. 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
1. Under no circumstances should you remove the
outer cabinet.
2. 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.
3. Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
4. Do not let the power supply cord hang over the
edge of a table or work surface.

surfaces, including the rear of the oven.
6. Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp
yourself or allow anyone who is not an electrician
authorised by SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp
fails, please consult your dealer or an authorised
SHARP service agent.
To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling:
1. 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 .
2. Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a
widemouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
N e v e r h e a t l i q u i d s i n n a r r o w n e c k e d
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. Do not use excessive amount of time
2. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.
3. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar
utensil (not metal) into the liquid whilst
reheating.
4. Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the
oven at the end of cooking time to prevent
delayed eruptive boiling.
3. Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes,
sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may
explode.
