To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when cooking or reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example, Sausage rolls, Pies or Christmas pudding. See the corresponding hints in operation manual and the cookery book section. To avoid the possibility of injury WARNING: Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Check the following before use: a) The door; make sure the door closes properly and ensure it is not misaligned or warped. b) The hinges and safety door latches; check to make sure they are not broken or loose. c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that they have not been damaged. d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure there are no dents. e) The power supply cord and plug; ensure that they are not damaged. If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by a competent person. Never adjust , repair or modify the oven yourself. 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. Do not operate the oven with the door open or alter the door safety latches in any way. Do not operate the oven if there is an object between the door seals and sealing surfaces. Do not allow grease or dirt to build up on the door seals and adjacent parts. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits. Follow the instructions for “Care and Cleaning” on page GB-19. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to a deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker for precautions regarding microwave ovens. To avoid the possibility of electric shock Under no circumstances should you remove the outer cabinet. Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately, and call an authorised SHARP service agent. Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in water or any other liquid. Do not let the power supply cord hang over the edge of a table or work surface. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULL Y AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE To avoid the danger of fire. The microwave oven should not be left unattended during operation. Power levels that are too high, or cooking times that are too long, may overheat foods resulting in a fire. This oven is designed for counter top or built-in use. Do not place the oven in a cabinet. When the oven is to be built-in, the installation frame EBR-4900 licensed by SHARP must be used. This is available from your dealer. Refer to the frame installation instructions or ask your dealer for the proper instruction procedure. Only the use of this frame will guarantee the safety and quality of the product. The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency. The AC power supply must be 230V, 50Hz, with a minimum 16A distribution line fuse, or a minimum 16A distribution circuit breaker. A separate circuit serving only this appliance should be provided. Do not place the oven in areas where heat is generated. For example, close to a conventional oven. Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity or where moisture may collect. Do not store or use the oven outdoors. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the oven. See Page GB-XX. Use only microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave modes. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. Clean the waveguide cover, the oven cavity and the turntable after use. These must be dry and free from grease. Built- up grease may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fire. Do not place flammable materials near the oven or ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation openings. Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from food and food packages. Arcing on metallic surfaces may cause a fire. Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and the oil may catch fire. To make popcorn, use only special microwave popcorn makers. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven. Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure the oven is operating as desired. GB-1 ENGLISH IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS R-798-A_[EN].qxd 7/16/07 2:52 PM Page GB-1
GB-2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food from the oven to prevent burns. Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to avoid steam burns and eruption of boiling. To avoid burns, always test food temperature and stir before serving and pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children or the elderly. Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away. Temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink; always check the food temperature. Always stand back from the oven door when opening it to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat. Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns. This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system. To avoid misuse by children WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision 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. When the appliance is operated in the GRILL, CONVECTION, DUAL, and AUTOMATIC operation (except AUTO DEFROST), children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperature generated. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not play with the oven or use it as a toy. Children should be taught all important safety instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of food coverings; paying special attention to packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to make food crisp, as they may be extra hot. Other warnings Never modify the oven in any way. Do not move the oven while it is in operation. This oven is for home food preparation only and may only be used for cooking food. It is not suitable for commercial or laboratory use. Keep the power supply cord away from heated surfaces, including the rear of the oven. 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. If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange must be made by an authorised SHARP service agent. To avoid the possibility of explosion and sudden boiling: WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container. 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. 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 contents erupting from the container when heated and cause burns. To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding: 1. Do not use excessive amount of time (See page GB- XX). 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. Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven. Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages and fruit before cooking, or they may explode. To avoid the possibility of burns WARNING: The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

Do not use plastic containers for microwaving if the oven is still hot from using theGRILL, DUAL and AUTOMATIC operation (except AUTO DEFROST ), because they may melt. Plastic containers must not be used during above modes unless the container manufacturer says they are suitable. 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. To promote trouble-free use of your oven and avoid damage. Never operate the oven when it is empty except where recommended in the operation manual, see Page GB-8. Doing so may damage the oven. 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 due to heat stress. The preheating time specified in the dish’s instructions must not be exceeded. Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans in the oven. Use only the turntable designed for this oven. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during operation. 1. Remove all packing materials from the inside of the oven cavity. Discard the loose polythene sheet from between the door and cavity. Remove the feature sticker, if attached, from the outside of the door. 2. Check the oven carefully for any signs of damage. 3. Place the oven on a flat, level surface strong enough to support the oven’s weight plus the heaviest item likely to be cooked. This oven is designed to be used on a countertop or built into a kitchen cabinet. When building the oven into a kitchen cabinet, see To avoid damage of the fire on page GB-1. 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 burning themselves. 5. Do not allow the power supply cord to run over any hot or sharp surfaces, such as the hot air vent area at the top rear of the oven. 6. Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 19 cm. 7.
