Installation

ANTI-TIP BLOCK

NORMAL INSTALLATION STEPS

ANTI-TIP BLOCK INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of tipping of the drawer, the Anti-Tip block must be properly installed and located 1413/16″ above the floor on which the Sharp Microwave Drawer™ Oven will sit. The 6″ Anti-Tip block must be provided by the installer. See Figure 1. The Anti-Tip block prevents serious injury that might result from spilled hot liquids. If the Sharp Microwave Drawer™ Oven is ever moved to a different location, the Anti-Tip block must also be moved and installed. When installed to the wall, ensure the screws completely penetrate the drywall and are secured in wood or metal so the block is totally stable. When fastening, ensure the screws do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing.

ELECTRICAL OUTLET
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 drawer is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a properly installed and grounded wall receptacle. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct wall receptacle.

Note: If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.

  • Can also be installed using an electrical outlet in an adjacent cabinet within the area where the provided electrical cord can reach.
  • Always check electrical codes for requirements.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. The Sharp Microwave Drawer™ Oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a properly installed and grounded wall receptacle 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.

WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

DRAWER INSTALLATION

  1. Place the drawer adjacent to the wall or cabinet opening. Plug the power supply cord into the electrical outlet.
  2. Carefully guide the drawer into the prepared opening. Avoid pinching the cord between the oven and the wall.
  3. Slide the drawer all the way until the mounting flange is flush with the face of the cabinet. See Figure 10.
  4. Open the drawer. Using the 4 holes on the drawer as a template, pre-drill the cabinet using a 1/16″ bit. See Figure 10.
  5. Secure the drawer with the 4 screws supplied. See Figure 11.SMD2440JS-Sharp-Microwave-Drawer-Oven-fig- \(12\)

MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
The nameplate includes the model and serial number. Open the Sharp Microwave Drawer” Oven fully. The label is beyond the back wall of the microwave cavity facing up from the flat surface.
