1. Remove all packing materials including the

feature sticker (if applicable). Do not remove the
plastic film from the inside of the oven window as
this protects it from dirt. The waveguide cover
prevents food and grease from entering the
waveguide area where it could cause damage.
DO NOT REMOVE.

2. Place oven on a secure, level surface, 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
sur face of the
oven is 21cm.

4. The oven door may become hot during cooking.
5. Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the

oven is 85cm or more above the floor.

6. 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.

7. Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged

(See “Electrical Connection” opposite) and that it
does not run under the oven or over any hot or
sharp surfaces. 

8. The socket must be readily accessible so that it

can be easily unplugged in an emergency.

9. Do not use the oven outdoors.

BUILDING-IN-KIT.
This oven is not designed to be built-in to a
kitchen unit.

IMPORTANT! 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 plug or socket is loose or the power supply

cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a
special cord. The exchange must be made by an
authorised SHARP service facility. 

• When removing the plug from the socket always

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

• If the fitted mains plug to your oven is a rewireable

type and in the unlikely event of the socket outlet in
your home not being compatible with the plug
supplied, remove the plug and fit an appropriate
type, observing the wiring code given in `To replace
the mains plug’ on page 34.
If you wish to remove or replace the plug supplied,
ensure the plug is removed properly and not cut off. 

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

plug and in the unlikely event of the socket outlet
in your home not being compatible with the plug
supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an
appropriate type, observing the wiring code given
in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 34.

Danger:
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. 

WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring code
given in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 34.
