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 CABINET 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 is a WALL TEMPLATE and TOP CABINET 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.

Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Over the Counter 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.

2 WALL CONSTRUCTION

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.
