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-9800, available from your SHARP dealer. Only
the use of this frame will guarantee the quality and
safety of the oven. When building, follow installation
instructions supplied carefully. 

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 as the plug

may otherwise overheat and catch fire.

• Do not connect other appliances to the same socket

using an adaptor plug as it may cause the house
wiring to overheat and catch fire.

• If the plug or socket is loose or the power supply

cord is damaged, do not operate the oven, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or their service
agent or a similarly qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard. A defective plug, power supply
cord or socket may overheat and catch fire during
operation or cause an electrical shock.

• When removing the plug from the socket always

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

• The product is fitted with a re-wireable plug. Should

it not be suitable for the socket outlet in your home,
remove the plug and fit an appropriate type,
observing “To replace the mains plug” on this page.

If you wish to remove or replace the plug supplied,
ensure the plug is removed properly and not cut off.
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 - IMPORTANT NOTE
Please note both the Operation Manual and Cookery
Book supplied specify 900W (IEC 705) microwave
output power. This applies only when the oven is
operated on a 230-240V supply.

If your supply is less than 230-240V, it may be
necessary to increase the cooking time when
following the Operation Manual and Cookery Book
instructions.

held securely by the cable grip where it enters the plug.
Like most appliances in your home, your oven must be
connected to a single phase  230-240V, 50Hz
