Oven Use:
• This 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 defeat 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.

Childcare: Only allow children to use the oven
without supervision when adequate instuctions have
been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a
safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

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

Inspect the Oven: Check the oven carefully for
damage before and regularly after installation.
• Make sure the door closes properly, that it is not

misaligned or warped.

• Check the hinges and door safety latches are not

broken or loose.

• Ensure the door seal and sealing surfaces are not

damaged.

• Inspect the oven interior and door for dents.

WARNING: 
If the door or seals are damaged, the oven must not
be operated until it has been repaired by a competent
person.

Important:
If any damage is apparent, do not operate the oven
in any way.  Contact your dealer or an authorised
Service Technician appointed by SHARP. 

WARNING: 
It is hazardous for anyone other than a competent
person to carry out any service or repair operation
which involves the removal of a cover which gives
protection against exposure to microwave energy.

1.Remove all packing materials and the feature label,

(if attached). Do not remove the plastic film from the 
inside of the oven window as this protects it from dirt.

2.Place 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 19.5cm.

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.

5.Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged,

(See Installation next page), 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.The oven door becomes hot during cooking.  To

prevent burning, the oven should be placed at least
85cm or more above the floor.

8.Do not use the oven outdoors.
