Oven Use:
• The oven is for domestic food preparation only.

Never operate when empty.  

• Do not leave or store anything inside the oven

when not in use.

• Never attempt to use the oven with the door open.

It is important not to defeat or tamper with the door
safety latches. This may result in exposure to
microwave energy.

• Never operate the oven with any object caught in

the door sealing surfaces, this again may cause
microwave leakage.

• Do not insert fingers or objects in the holes of the

door latches or air-vent openings as this may
damage the oven and cause an electric shock.     

• If water or food drops inside the air vent openings

switch off the oven immediately, unplug it and call a
Service Technician appointed by SHARP. 
(See page 21).

• Never attempt to move the oven while it is

operating.

Childcare: Only allow children to use the oven under
close adult supervision, children should be taught all
important safety instructions. Do not allow anyone to
play with the oven, lean or swing on the oven door.
Pacemaker: If you have a heart pacemaker,
consult your doctor or the pacemaker manufacturer
prior to oven use.
Warning: Only allow children to use the oven without
supervision when adequate instructions have been
given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe
way and understands the hazards of improper use.

1.Remove all packing materials including the feature

sticker. Do not remove the plastic film from the inside
of the oven window as this protects it from dirt.

2.Place oven on a secure, level surface, strong

enough to take the oven weight, plus the heaviest
item likely to be cooked in the oven.

3.Do not place the oven where heat, moisture or high

humidity are generated, (for example, near or
above a  conventional oven) or near combustible
materials (for example, curtains). Do not block or
obstruct air vent openings, as obstructions may
ignite due to the emission of hot air.

4.Make sure the power supply cord is undamaged

(See Installation next page) and that it does not run
under the oven or over any hot or sharp surfaces. 

5.The socket must be readily accessible so that it can

be easily unplugged in an emergency.

6.Do not use the oven outdoors.

BUILDING-IN-KIT.
An installation frame is available which enables the
microwave oven to be integrated within a kitchen unit.
The microwave oven is not designed to be built above
or near a conventional oven.
SHARP recommend the use of the build in kit, EBR-
4500, available from your SHARP dealer.  Only the
use of this frame will guarantee the quality and safety
of the oven.  When building, follow installation
instructions supplied for A type models carefully.

IMPORTANT! ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
• Do not allow water to come into contact with the

power supply cord or plug.

• Insert the plug properly into the socket as the plug

may otherwise overheat and catch fire.

• Do not connect other appliances to the same socket

using an adaptor plug as it may cause the house
wiring to overheat and catch fire.

• If the plug or socket is loose or the power supply

cord is damaged, do not operate the oven, it must
be replaced with a special power cord, by the
manufacturer or their service agent or a similarly
qualified person. 
A defective plug, power supply cord or socket may
overheat and catch fire during operation or cause
an electrical shock.

• 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.

• This product is fitted with a re-wireable plug. Should

it not be suitable for the socket outlet in your home,
remove the plug and fit an appropriate type,
observing the wiring code given in `To replace the
mains plug’ on page 20.

If you wish to remove or replace the plug supplied,
ensure the plug is removed properly and not cut off.
When replacing the plug please ensure that you use a
BSI or ASTA approved plug to BS1363, this should be
fitted with a brown coloured 13 amp fuse approved
by BSI or ASTA to BS1362. If you have any doubt
about electrical connection seek the help of a
qualified electrician. 

To wire an appropriate plug, follow the wiring code given in `To replace the mains plug’ on page 20.
