GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED
TO AVOID SEVERE OR FATAL SHOCK.
PLEASE READ
CAREFULLY.
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
risk of electric shock.
The oven is equipped with a
3-prong grounding plug.
NEVER
cut or remove the grounding pin
from the plug.
The Power Supply Cord and plug
must be connected to a separate
120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single grounded
receptacle. The receptacle should be located inside the cabinet
directly above the Microwave Oven/Hood mounting location.
Note:
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson. 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.
