Grounding Instructions; Electrical Requirements - Sharp SMC1585BB Operation Manual

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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.
