IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
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 oven door may become hot during cooking. Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is
85 cm or more above the fl oor. Keep children away from the door to prevent them burning themselves.
Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 12 cm.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
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.
WARNING: When the appliance is operated in the GRILL, COMBI, STEAM and AUTOMATIC operations
(except AUTO DEFROST MENUS), children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the
temperature generated.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.
WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been
repaired by a competent person.
WARNING: 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.
If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The
exchange must be made by an authorised SHARP service agent.
WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when
handling the container.
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.
Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the oven. See page 26. Use only
microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave modes.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked
before consumption, in order to avoid burns.
The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, dishes, accessories and especially the grill heating elements will
become very hot during operation. Care should be taken to avoid touching these areas. To prevent burns,
always use thick oven gloves. Before cleaning make sure they are not hot.
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven and keep the door closed in order to stifl e any fl ames.
Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits.
Failure to maintain the oven in 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.
Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can
scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.
Steam cleaner is not to be used.
See instructions for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts on page 20.
