Microwave Oven User Manual

5
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more pro-
tected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only
this appliance be provided.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a
wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should you only have a
2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily if local codes allow.
Follow package directions.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC
115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Notes:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult
a qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither Sharp nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven
is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position
and signal of receiving antenna.

The floor of the opening should be constructed of
plywood strong enough to support the weight of the
oven and floor load (about 100 pounds). The floor
should be level for proper operation of the oven. Be
sure to check the local building code as it may require
that the opening be enclosed with sides, ceiling and
rear partition. The proper functioning of the oven does
not require the enclosure.
If your dealer does not stock the kit, it can be ordered
directly from the Sharp Accessories and Supplies
Center. Have your credit card number available and
call toll-free: 1-800-642-2122 for ordering the kit to be
sent to your address.
The kit includes all the neccessary parts and easy-to-
follow instructions for installation as well as location of
the power supply.
The ease of assembly for these kits will allow installa-
tion into an existing wall opening in less than an hour if
power outlet is already properly located. All it takes are
four steps and a Phillips screw driver.
