SHARP R-898 (01) PDF MANUAL

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.

Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. 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.

Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has to be taken when handling the container.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and possible scalding:

1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.

3. 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.

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.

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.

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, to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.

Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release steam and avoid burns.

Keep children away from the door and accessible parts that may become hot when the grill is in use. Children should be kept away to prevent them burning themselves.

Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings, accessories and dishes during GRILL, CONVECTION, DUAL and AUTOMATIC operation (except AUTO DEFROST) as they will become hot. Before cleaning make sure they are not hot.

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.

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.

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.

Never operate the oven when it is empty except where recommended in the operation manual. 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.

Do not use plastic containers for microwaving if the oven is still hot from using the GRILL, CONVECTION, 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.

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. Remove this film.

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.

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.

4. Heat up your oven regularly by using both heating elements, refer to “Heating without food”. Remaining food or fat splashed on the oven interior can cause smoke or a bad smell.

Turntable:

Remove the turntable. Wash the turntable in mild soapy water. Dry with a soft cloth. The turntable is dishwasher safe.

Low Rack and High Rack:

These should be washed in a mild washing up liquid solution and dried. High and Low racks are dishwasher safe.

Door:

To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and adjacent surfaces with a soft, damp cloth.

Note: A steam cleaner should not be used.

Please check the following before calling for service:

1. Power Supply:

Check the power plug is properly connected to a suitable wall outlet. Check the line fuse/circuit breaker is functioning properly.

2. When the door is opened, does the oven lamp turn on? YES

3. Place a cup of water (approx. 150 ml) in the oven and close the door securely. Set the COOKING MODE dial to microwave setting. Programme the oven for one minute on 900 W power and start the oven.

Does the oven lamp come on? YES

Does the turntable rotate? YES

Note: The turntable turns in either direction.

Does the ventilation work? YES

(Place your hand over the ventilation openings and check for air flow.)

Does the cooking in progress indicator go off? YES

Is the cup of water warm after the above operation? YES

4. Set the COOKING MODE dial to the TOP & BOTTOM GRILL setting for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes do both GRILL heating elements become red? YES

Important: If the display shows nothing even if the power supply plug is properly connected, the energy save mode may be in operation. Open and close the oven door to operate the oven.

Note:

1. If you cook the food over the standard time with only the same cooking mode, the power of the oven will lower automatically to avoid overheating. (The microwave power level will be reduced and the grill heating elements will begin to light on and off.)

Cooking mode	Standard time
Microwave 900 W cooking	20 min.
Grill cooking
TOP GRILL	15 min.
BOTTOM GRILL	15 min.
TOP and BOTTOM GRILL	Top grill – 6 min. Bottom grill – 6 min.
Dual 2 (900 watt microwave power only)	Micro – 20 min. Top grill – 15 min.
Dual 3 (900 watt microwave power only)	Micro – 20 min. Bottom grill – 15 min.

2. After the GRILL (using both heating elements), DUAL, CONVECTION and AUTOMATIC OPERATION (except AUTO DEFROST), the cooling fan will run and “NOW COOLING” will appear on the display. Also, when you press the STOP button and open the door during the GRILL, DUAL, CONVECTION and/or automatic cooking (except AUTO DEFROST), the cooling fan will run; you may, therefore, feel air blowing from the ventilation openings.
