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.

code given in `To replace the mains plug’ on
page 32.

• 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.

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 32.

1. Remove all packing materials including the

feature sticker (if present). 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 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 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-4810, available from your SHARP dealer.
Only the use of this frame will guarantee the
quality and safety of the oven.
