g r o u n d i n g i n s t r u c t i o n s
This appliance must be grounded. 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.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, and either:
1) 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 appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to
or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance, or 2) Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 20 amp. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven 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.
Power Supply Cord
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If long cord or extension cord is used
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b)The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and The longer
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Notes:
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person. Neither Sharp nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the 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 circuit, relocated the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
