Unpacking and Examining Your Oven
Open the bottom of the carton, bend the carton flaps back and tilt the oven over to
rest on plasticfoam pad. Lift carton off oven and remove all packing materials,
Wall and Top Template, Turntable and Turntable Support. SAVE THE CARTON AS IT
MAY MAKE INSTALLATION EASIER.
1. Remove the feature sticker from the outside of the door, if there is one.
2. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the right side
wall of the oven cavity. Check to see that there are WALL and TOP TEMPLATE.
Read enclosures and SAVE the Operation Manual.
Check the oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surfaces,
broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not
operate the oven and contact your dealer or SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Microwave Oven. Two people are
recommended to install this product.
If a new electrical outlet is required, its installation should be completed by a qualified electrician
before the Microwave Oven is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 7.
This Microwave Oven requires a mounting space on a wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to be used with
standard 12-inch wall cabinets.
1 MOUNTING SPACE
This Microwave Oven should be mounted against and supported by a flat vertical wall. The wall must be flat for
proper installation. If the wall is not flat, use spacers to fill in the gaps. Wall construction should be a minimum of 2”
x 4” wood studding and 3/8” or more thick dry wall or plaster/lath. The mounting surfaces must be capable of
supporting weight of 110 pounds—the oven and contents—AND the weight of all items which would normally be
stored in the top cabinet above the unit.
The unit should be attached to a minimum of one 2” x 4” wall stud.
To find the location of the studs, one of the following methods may be used:
A. Use a stud finder, a magnetic device which locates the nails in the stud.
B. Use a hammer to tap lightly across the mounting surface to find a solid sound. This will indicate stud location.
The center of the stud can be located by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edges of the stud and then
placing a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16” or 24” to either
side of this mark.
