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 31.

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.
