UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking and Examining Your Oven

Remove:
1. all packing materials from inside the oven cavity.
Read enclosures and SAVE the Operation Manual.
2. the feature sticker from the outside of the door, if
there is one.
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.

Choosing a Location for Your Oven

You will use your oven frequently so plan its location for
ease of use. Do not place the oven on a mat, carpet or
tablecloth or block the ventilation openings. The oven
must be placed on a countertop which is a minimum of
36 inches (91.5 cm) from the floor. Allow at least 2
inches (5.1 cm) on the sides, and 2 inches (5.1 cm)
above the top of the oven (excluding the air vent
opening) for air circulation. Be sure to position oven so
that the rear cannot be touched inadvertently.
Your SuperSteam oven can be built into a cabinet or
wall by itself, or above any electric wall oven, above
warming drawer, above Sharp’s Microwave Drawer,
models KB-6002, KB-6015 or KB-6025 or above other
Sharp Microwave Drawer models that specify the
combination of this oven using Sharp’s Built-in Kit, RK-
12S30. It cannot be built in above any gas wall oven.
