Unpacking and Examining Your Oven

1. all packing materials from inside the oven cav-

ity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE
WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the

right cavity wall. Read
enclosures and SAVE
the Operation Manual.
2. the feature sticker,

outside of the door.

misaligned or bent
door, damaged door

seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door
hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or

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 electri-
cal 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 serv-
ing 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 in-

structions, 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.

on the door. If there is any damage, do not oper-
ate the oven and contact your dealer or SHARP
AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

Choosing a Location for Your Oven

You will use the oven frequently so plan its loca-
tion 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 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.
