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-24. 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.

GB-1
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-5000 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
