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 29.

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. 

To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring
code given in `To replace the mains plug’ on
page 29.

3. The minimum

height of free space
necessary above the
top surface of the
oven is 19.5cm.

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” opposite).
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.

BUILDING-IN-KIT.
An installation frame is available which enables
the microwave oven to be integrated within a
kitchen unit.
The microwave oven is not designed to be built
above or near a conventional oven.
SHARP recommend the use of the build in kit
EBR-4500, available from your SHARP dealer.
Only the use of this frame will guarantee the
quality and safety of the oven.
