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 located 14
13
/16" above the oor 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.
Figure 8
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 qualied electrician
install a correct wall receptacle.

™
Oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a properly installed and

a risk of electric shock. Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a qualied electrician or
