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 oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO NOT UNDER ANY  CIRCUM-
STANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to a separate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 
15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single grounded receptacle. The receptacle should be 
located inside the cabinet directly above the Microwave Oven mounting location.

NOTE:
1.  If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or servi-

ceperson.

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.
