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
protected 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 quali
fi
ed 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 quali
fi
ed 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.

Choosing a Location for Your Oven
You will use the oven frequently so plan its location for ease
of use. It's wise, if possible, to have counter space on at least
one side of the oven. Allow at least 2 inches (50 mm) on the
sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air circulation.
Do not place or install the oven in any area where heat
and steam are generated; for example, next to or above a
conventional gas or electric range or above a conventional
wall oven. Heat and steam may damage the electronics
or the mechanical parts of the oven.
