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.
The microwave power level will default to 100P (HIGH) unless you press the POWER LEVEL
key to reach the desired setting. 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.
For heating babies’ bottles, see page 22.
