IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4. Do not let the power supply cord hang over the edge of
a table or work surface.
5. Keep the power supply cord away from heated surfac-
es, including the rear of the oven.
6. Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or
allow anyone who is not an electrician authorised by
SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp 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 be-
fore 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 wide
mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked containers
such as baby bottles, as this may result in the con-
tents erupting from the container when heated and
cause burns.
To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and pos-
sible 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.
3. Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and
fruit before cooking, or they may explode.
To avoid the possibility of burns
1. Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food
from the oven to prevent burns.
2. Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cook-
ing bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid
steam burns and eruption of boiling.
