Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker,
consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer
prior to oven use.
Warning: Only allow children to use the
oven without super vision when
adequate instructions have been given
so that the child is able to use the oven
in a safe way and understands the
hazards of improper use.
Oven Use:
• Never operate when empty, except as directed in
the operation manual (see page 9).
• 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.
• Never operate the oven with any object caught in
the door.
• 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
SHARP approved service facility
. (See page 36).

• Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear
cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings,
accessories and dishes during GRILL,
CONVECTION and  DUAL COOKING modes,

become hot. Before cleaning make sure they are
not hot.
Fire:  If smoke is observed, switch off and
unplug the appliance and keep the door
closed  in order to stifle any flames. 
Liquids: Microwave heating of beverages
can result in delayed eruptive boiling,
therefore care has to be taken when
handling the container. Stir the liquid prior
to and during heating/reheating, let liquid
stand in the oven after cooking.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
MICROWAVING
Introduction:
Water, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves which
causes them to vibrate. This creates heat by friction, in
the same way your hands get warm when you rub
them together.
Outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy,
and remaining portions by conduction.  It is, therefore,
important to turnrearrange or stir food to ensure
even heating.  Where recommended allow food to
stand.  This is not optional but necessary to ensure
thorough cooking and is particularly important for
dense food, such as joints of meat.
Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and
utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.
Microwaves are reflected by metal.  The oven is lined
with metal and has a fine metallic mesh in the door to
prevent microwave leakage. Metallic dishes are not
suitable for microwaving. Only use utensils that are
suitable for microwave ovens.
(See suitable cookware, pages 17 - 18).
