pacemaker for precautions regarding microwave 
ovens.

To avoid the possibility of electric shock
1.  Under no circumstances should you remove the 

outer cabinet.

2.  Never spill or insert any objects into the door 

lock openings or ventilation openings. In the 
event of this occurring, turn off and unplug the 
oven immediately, and call an authorised SHARP 
service agent.

3.  Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in 

water or any other liquid.

4.  Do not let the power supply cord hang over the

fails, please consult your dealer or an authorised 
SHARP service agent.

To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling:
1.  Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and 

lids before use. Sealed containers can explode 
due to a build up of pressure even after the oven 
has been turned off .

2.  Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a 

widemouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

 

 

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and 
possible scalding:

 

1.  Do not use excessive amount of time

 

2.  Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating. 

 3. 

 It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar 
utensil (not metal) into the liquid whilst 
reheating.

 

4.  Let liquid stand for at least 20 seconds in the 

oven at the end of cooking time to prevent 
delayed eruptive boiling.

 

5.  Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, 

sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may 
explode.

To avoid the danger of fi re.
1.  The microwave oven should not be lef t 

2.  The electrical outlet must be readily accessible 

so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an 
emergency.

3.  The AC power supply must be 230 -240V, 50Hz, 

with a minimum 16A distribution line fuse, or a 
minimum 16A distribution circuit breaker.

4.  A separate circuit serving only this appliance 

should be provided.

5.  Do not place the oven in areas where heat is 

generated. For example, close to a conventional 
oven.

6.  Do not install the oven in an area of high 

humidity or where moisture may collect.

7.  Do not store or use the oven outdoors.
8.  Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity, the

or ventilation openings.

10.  Do not block the ventilation openings.
11.  Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from 

food and food packages. Arcing on metallic 
surfaces may cause a fi re.

popcorn makers.

14.  Do not store food or any other items inside the 

oven.

15.  Check the settings after you start the oven to 

ensure the oven is operating as desired.

4.  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 floor. Keep 
children away from the door to prevent them 
from burning themselves.

5.  Securely connect the plug of the oven to a standard 

earthed (grounded) household electrical outlet.

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.
Do not place objects on top of the oven. 

1.  Remove all packing materials from the inside of 

the oven cavity and remove any protective film 
found on the microwave oven cabinet surface. 
Check the oven carefully for any signs of damage.

To promote troublefree use of your oven and 
avoid damage.
1.  Never operate the oven when it is empty except 

where recommended in the operation manual. 
Doing so may damage the oven.

2.  When using a browning dish or self-heating 

material, always place a heat-resistant insulator 
such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent 
damage to the turntable and turntable support 
due to heat stress. The preheating time specifi ed 
in the dish’s instructions must not be exceeded.

NOTE:
If you are unsure how to connect your oven, please 
consult an authorised, qualified electrician. Neither 
the manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any 
liability for damage to the oven or personal injury 
resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical 
connection procedure. Water vapour or drops may 
occasionally form on the oven walls or around the 
door seals and sealing surfaces. This is a normal 
occurrence and is not an indication of microwave 
leakage or a malfunction.

Generally the following recommendations apply:

P100 - (HIGH output = 900W) used for fast cooking or 
reheating e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.
P80 - (MEDIUM HIGH output = 720W) used for longer 
cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf 
and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as 
sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will 
cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.
P50 - (MEDIUM output = 450W ) for dense foods 
which require a long cooking time when cooked 
conventionally, e.g. beef casserole, it is advisable to use 
this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.

P30 - (MEDIUM LOW output = 270W) Defrost setting) 
to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that 
the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for 
simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg 
custard.
P10 - (LOW output = 90W) For gentle defrosting, e.g. 
cream gateaux or pastry.
