TO REPLACE THE MAINS PLUG
The wires in the mains cable are colour coded as
shown:
Green and yellow stripes = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE
As the colours in the mains lead of your oven may not
correspond with the coloured marking identifying the
terminals in your plug, connect the wires as described:
• The green and yellow wire to the plug terminal
marked E or or coloured green or coloured
green and yellow.
• The blue wire to the plug terminal marked N or
coloured black or coloured blue.
• The brown wire to the plug terminal marked L or
coloured red or coloured brown.
Make sure the terminal screws are tight and the cable
is 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
alternating current supply.
If you do not make the proper electrical connections
you might damage the oven or injure yourself. Neither
SHARP nor the supplier will be liable if this happens.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
EARTHED
If you have any doubts about your
electrical supply ask a qualifi ed electrician.
1. Remove all packing materials from the inside of the
oven cavity. Discard the loose polythene sheet from
between the door and cavity. Remove the feature
sticker, if attached, from the outside of the door.
2. Check the oven carefully for any signs of damage.
3. Place the oven on a flat, level surface strong enough
to support the oven’s weight plus the heaviest item
likely to be cooked.
This oven is designed for countertop use only. Steam
is ventilated from the bottom of the oven. Make sure
the escaping steam does not wet electrical outlets/
other electrical appliances.
4. Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the
oven is 85 cm or more above the floor.
5. Do not allow the power supply cord to run
over any hot or sharp surfaces, such as the
hot air vent area at the bottom of the oven.
6. Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the
oven of 12 cm.
7. Securely connect the plug of the oven to a standard
earthed (grounded) household electrical outlet.
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 qualifi ed 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 fi tted 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.
• Refi t with a suitable type, observing the wiring code
given in ‘To replace the mains plug’.
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
tted.
• If you have any doubt about your microwave oven
obtain the help of a qualifi ed electrician.
