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 risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING – 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 this appliance 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.

Extension Cord

If it is necessary 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 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.

Notes: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.

3.Steam is ventilated from the top rear of the oven. Make sure the escaping steam from the oven does not dampen electric outlets and other electrical appliances. Do not place the elec- tric outlet under the oven. Always wipe the dust off the plug. The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.

4.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.
