Unpacking and Examining Your Oven
1. Remove all packing materials from inside the
oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE
WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the
top cavity wall. Read enclosures and SAVE the
Operation Manual.
2. Remove the feature
sticker, if there is one,
from the outside of the
door.
Check the oven for any
damage, such as mis-
aligned or bent door,
damaged door seals and
sealing surfaces, broken
or loose door hinges and
latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door.
If there is any damage, do not operate 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 (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 me-
chanical parts of the oven.
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 with a grounded
receptacle box 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.
