COOKING ADVICE
WARNING -
Always attend the oven when in use.
Carefully follow the SHARP Operation Manual at all times. If you exceed
recommended cooking times and/or use power levels that are too high, food may
overheat, burn, and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.
Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, for example, Christmas pudding, mince
pies and fruit cakes.
Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.
Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before you use them in the oven. If you do
not, steam and pressure will build up inside and the container may explode.
Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable.

Food with skin (such as potatoes, apples, fish,
chicken), or with membrane (such as the
white and yolk of eggs, including boiled
eggs), must be pierced in several places
before cooking or reheating. If not, steam will
build up and may cause food to explode.
Do not cook eggs in their shells and whole
hard-boiled eggs should not be cooked in
microwave ovens since they may explode
even after microwave cooking has ended.
Canned potatoes should not be heated in
the microwave oven as they may burst.
