SUITABLE FOR MICROWAVING YES Always attend the oven closely. Look at the oven from time to time when cooking or reheating food in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible material. Pay special attention as overheating may cause a fire in your oven. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. Only use to absorb fat and moisture when warming food. Carefully follow the SHARP Operation Manual at all times. If you exceed recommended cooking times and/or use power levels that are too high, food may overheat, burn, and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven. The microwave power level will default to 100P unless you press the POWER LEVEL key to reach the desired setting. Take care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, for example, Christmas pudding, mince pies and fruit cakes (see reheating chart in the cookbook section for guidance). Before use, the user should check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before you use them in the oven. If you do not, steam and pressure will build up inside and the container may explode. Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable. WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. 20 R-25AM O/M + CkBk 13/3/01 11:13 am Page 21 Website: http://www. sharp. co. uk/support Help Line: 08705 274277 (office hours) ADVICE FOR DEFROSTING Meat joints Place in a flan dish, turn over at least 4-5 times during defrosting, shield any warm areas with small, flat pieces of foil.
