overheat, burn, and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.
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.
The microwave power level will default to HIGH (100P) unless you press the POWER LEVEL pad to reach the

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.
Note: Eggs in their shells and hard boiled
eggs should not be heated in microwave
ovens since they may explode even after
microwave heating has endded. Canned
potatoes should not be heated in the
microwave oven as they may burst.
