Grounding instructions – Sharp 1.5 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave Oven Operation Manual User Manual

Page 8

This appliance must be grounded. This oven is

equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with

a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall

receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in

accordance with the National Electrical Code and

local codes and ordinances. In the event of an

electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of

electric shock by providing an escape wire for the

electric current.

– Improper use of the grounding plug

can result in a risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC

only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It

is recommended that a separate circuit serving only

the microwave oven be provided.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding

plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that

is properly installed and grounded. Should you only

have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician

install a correct wall receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used tempo-

rarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk

of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer

cord.

EXTENSION CORD

If it is necess

ary to use an extension cord, use only a

3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug

and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the

microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension

cord should be AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or

table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

over accidentally.
Note:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or

electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician

or service person.
2. Neither Sharp nor the dealer can accept any liability

for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting

from failure to observe the correct electrical connection

procedures.

RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE

Should there be any interference caused by the micro-

wave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave

oven is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio

or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check

position and signal of receiving antenna.
