• Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that the oven door close properly.
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the
United States Department of Agriculture's
recommended temperatures.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone.
• Accessible parts (e.g. oven door, oven cavity, dishes
and accessories) may become hot during use. Use
dry pot holders or oven mitts when removing container,
food and oven accessories from the oven and be
careful not to touch the oven cavity to prevent burns.
• Use care when opening door. Avoid steam burns by
directing steam away from the face and hands.
Always stand back from the oven when opening it.
• Stay near the oven while it's in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or
other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.
• Use care when removing items from the oven so
that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not
touch the door projection.
• Do not touch around the oven light directly. This part
will become hot when the oven light is on.
• To avoid burns, always be careful of splashing grease
from the tray when removing roasted or grilled meats
from the oven.
• To avoid burns, always test food and container
temperature and stir before serving. Pay special
attention to the temperature of containers, foods
and drinks. Do not drink beverage or soup without
checking the container’s temperature.
• Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear
cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings,
accessories, dishes and the escaping steam from
the ventilation cover during operation because they
will become hot.
• Do not operate the oven if reservoir cracks and water
leaks. Call 1-800-BE-SHARP to purchase a
replacement part.
• After use, condensed water may be inside oven
cavity, especially under the base tray. Dry any liquid
residue with a soft cloth and wipe out to keep the
oven clean.
• Do not place anything on the outer cabinet during
operation.
• Do not put anything weighing more than 8 pounds on
the door to prevent damage to the door or door
hinges and to prevent tilting/falling of the oven. Do
not hang anything heavy from the handle nor lean on
it.
• If the oven needs to be moved, always drain all water
inside the oven using the DRAIN WATER function
(See page 13). After draining, empty the base tray.
• To prevent condensation, which could corrode the
appliance, do not leave cooked food in the oven for
an extended period.
• Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any
food deposits in the oven or on the door.
• Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying.
