1.  Remove all packing materials including the 

feature sticker (if applicable). The waveguide 
cover prevents food and grease from entering 
the waveguide area where it could cause damage. 
DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER.

2.  The oven door will become hot during cooking. 

Place or mount the oven so that the bottom 
of the oven is 85cm or more above the floor. 
Ensure the surface or mounting position is 
strong enough to take the oven weight, plus the 
heaviest item likely to be cooked in the oven.

3.  The minimum height 

of free space necessary
above the top surface 
of the oven is 13cm. 
T h e   o v e n   r e a r 
surface should be 
placed against the wall.

4.  Do not place the oven where heat, moisture 

or high humidity are generated, (for example, 
near or above a conventional oven) or near 
combustible materials (for example, curtains). 
Do not block or obstruct air vent openings. Do 
not place objects on top of the oven.

5.  Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged 

(See “ELECTRICAL CONNECTION” below).
Do not allow the power supply cord to 
run over any hot or sharp surfaces, such 
as the hot air vent area at the top rear of 
the oven.

6.  The socket must be readily accessible so that it 

can be easily unplugged in an emergency.

7.  Do not use the oven outdoors.

BUILT-IN KIT.
This oven is designed for counter top. Do not place 
the oven in a cabinet.
The microwave oven is not designed to be built 
above or near a conventional oven.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
•  Do not allow water to come into contact with 

the power supply cord or plug.

•  Insert the plug properly into the socket.
•  Do not connect other appliances to the same 

socket using an adaptor plug.

•  If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be 

replaced by a Sharp approved service facility or a 
similarly qualified person to avoid a hazard. 

•  When removing the plug from the socket always 

grip the plug, never the cord as this may damage 
the power supply cord and the connections inside 
the plug.

•  If the plug fitted to your oven is a rewireable 

type and in the event of the socket outlet in your 
home not being compatible with the plug supplied, 
remove the plug properly (do not cut off). 

•  If the plug fitted to your oven is a non-rewirable 

type and in the event of the socket outlet in your 
home not being compatible with the plug supplied, 
cut-off the mains plug.

•  Refit with a suitable type, observing the wiring 

code given in ‘To replace the mains plug’ on page 
27.

To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring code 
given in ‘To replace the mains plug’ on page 27.

IMPORTANT!
•  The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed 

and the plug disposed of in a safe manner.

•  Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug 

be inserted into a socket outlet as a serious 
electric shock may occur.

•  The plug must not be used without the fuse cover 

fitted.

•  If you have any doubt about your microwave oven 

obtain the help of a qualified electrician.

•  When replacing the plug please ensure that you 

use a BSI or ASTA approved plug to BS1363, this 
should be fitted with a brown coloured 13 amp 
fuse approved by BSI or ASTA to BS1362. If you 
have any doubt about electrical connection seek 
the help of a qualified electrician.
