When microwaving, use only those utensils suitable for microwave cookery as indicated
below:
A variety of cookware can be used for microwaving. Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are
recommended, as food in corners tends to overcook.
WARNING - Always attend the oven when in use.
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 100% (HIGH) 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. 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.
