Oven Use:
• The oven is for domestic food preparation only.

Never operate when empty.  

• Do not leave or store anything inside the oven

when not in use.

• Never attempt to use the oven with the door open.

It is important not to force or tamper with the door
safety latches. This may result in exposure to
microwave energy.

• Never operate the oven with any object caught in

the door sealing surfaces, this again may cause
microwave leakage.

• Do not insert fingers or objects in the holes of the

door latches or air-vent openings, as this may
damage the oven and cause an electric shock.     

• If water or food drops inside the air vent openings

switch off the oven immediately, unplug it and call a
Service Technician appointed by SHARP.  

• Never attempt to move the oven while it is

operating.

Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker,
consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer
prior to oven use.

Do not allow anyone to play with the oven, or lean or
swing on the oven door.

1.Remove all packing materials. Do not remove the

plastic film from the inside of the oven window as this
protects it from dirt.

2.Place the oven on a secure, level surface, strong

enough to take the oven weight, plus the heaviest
item likely to be cooked in the oven.

3.Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the

oven of 15cm.

4.Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or high

humidity are generated, (for example, near or
above a  conventional oven) or near combustible
materials (for example, curtains). Do not block or
obstruct air vent openings, as obstructions may
ignite due to the emission of hot air.  Do not place
items on top of the oven.

5.Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged

and that it does not run under the oven or over any
hot or sharp surfaces. 

6.The socket must be readily accessible so that it can

be easily unplugged in an emergency.

7.Do not use the oven outdoors.

BUILDING-IN-KIT.
This oven is not designed to be built into a kitchen unit.
IMPORTANT! ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
• Do not allow water to come into contact with the

power supply cord or plug.

• Insert the plug properly into the socket as the plug

may otherwise overheat and catch fire.

• Do not connect other appliances to the same socket

using an adaptor plug as it may cause the house
wiring to overheat and catch fire.

• If the power supply cord of this appliance is

damaged, it must be relaced by a special cord. 
The exchange must be made by an authorised
SHARP service agent. 
A defective plug, power supply cord or socket may
overheat and catch fire during operation or cause
an electrical shock.

• When removing the plug from the socket always

grip the plug, never the mains lead as this may
damage the power supply cord and the
connections inside the plug.

• The product is fitted with a re-wireable plug. Should

it not be suitable for the socket outlet in your home,
remove the plug and fit an appropriate type,
observing the wiring code given in “To replace the
mains plug” on page 24.

If you wish to remove or replace the plug supplied,
ensure the plug is removed properly and not cut off.
When replacing the plug please ensure that you use a
BSI or ASTA approved plug to BS1363, this should be
fitted with a brown coloured 13 amp fuse approved
by BSI or ASTA to BS1362. If you have any doubt
about electrical connection seek the help of a
qualified electrician.
