Unpacking and Examining Your Oven
Remove:
1. all packing materials from inside the oven cavity; however, DO NOT
REMOVE THE WAVE GUIDE COVER, which is located on the
right side in the oven cavity. Read enclosures and SAVE the
Operation Manual.
2. the feature sticker from the outside of the door, if there is one.
Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned 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 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 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 amps. 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 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 amps. 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 qualified electrician or serviceperson.
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
