Choosing a Location for Your Oven
You will use your oven frequently so plan its locationfor ease of use. The oven must be placed on a countertopwhich is a minimum of
36 inches from the floor. Allow at least2 inches on thesides, top and at the rear of the oven for air circulation.Be sure to positionoven
so that the rear cannot be touched inadvertently.
Do not place or install the oven in any area where heat and steam are generated; for example, next to or above a conventional gas or
electric range or above a conventional wall oven. Heat and steam may damage the electrOnicS or the mechanical parts of the oven.
Built-in Kit
Your oven can be built into a cabinet or wall--not near or above a heat source--using Sharp's Built-in Kit, Model RK-90 and RK-90W.
Model RK-90 is for R-9H84 oven, and Model RK-90W is for R-9H94 oven. If your dealer does not stock the kit, it can be ordered directly
from the Sharp Accessories and Supplies Center. Have your credit card number available and call toll-free:
1-800-642-2122 for ordering the kit to be sent to your address.
The kit includes ducts and finish trim strips and easy-to-follow instructions for installation as well as the location of the power supply.
It is important that all instructions for electrical connection and grounding be followed to eliminate any hazard or chance of
electrical short circuit. Grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
All electrical work must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all
local codes and ordinances.
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 fused
electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the 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 temporarily 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 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
microwave oven. The marked rating ofthe 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 serviceman.
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 microwave oven to your radio orTV,
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.
