ONLY SHARP E X TENDS YO UR

KITCHEN DESIGN OPTIONS

IN SO MANY NEW WAYS.

Every kitchen needs a microwave — but where should it go? With so many microwave ovens to choose from, which type best suits your needs or those of your client? Whether you are designing a kitchen in a new home, remodeling an older kitchen or simply replacing a current microwave, this guide will help you choose the best microwave for your kitchen design — and help you install it properly.

Sharp is a leader in developing innovative solutions for microwave placement. So who else but Sharp could reinvent the microwave oven for today’s kitchens? Options include Over the Counter

Microwaves, Over the Range, built-in or countertop models and now, a complete line of Microwave Drawer® Solutions — the most innovative ideas yet for where to place the microwave.

Insight Pro® Microwave Drawer Ovens — Sharp’s Microwave Drawer appliance takes the microwave off the counter and places it right at the most convenient height, making stirring food easier and safer. The angled front-mounted touch controls and superb accessibility make it ideal for anyone who uses the microwave frequently. Most importantly, the Microwave Drawer design provides a sleek, integrated look so that the microwave oven blends in -- wherever it goes. Models are available to ﬁt both 30" and 24" installations.

Insight Pro and Insight® Ranges —These 3-in-1 cooking centers combine a glass ceramic cooktop, conventional or convection oven, and Sharp’s exclusive Microwave Drawer oven in a single space-saving appliance. They are ideal for smaller kitchens, islands or modern open-plan designs that offer lots of open space but few wall cabinets. By incorporating the microwave within the 30" range itself, awkward installations and cluttered countertops are eliminated while allowing the use of a stylish ventilation hood above the range. Both freestanding and slide-in models are available.

Insight Pro Cooktop+Microwave Drawer

Appliance — Combining all the advantages of the Microwave Drawer

oven with a smooth electric cooktop, the Cooktop+Microwave Drawer appliance is a unique kitchen planning solution that’s an ideal companion for wall ovens. Easy-to-use knobs control the glass ceramic cooktop while a backlit active glass touchscreen guides the user through the microwave cooking process.

Over the Counter “OTC” Microwaves — Designers often look for ways to place the microwave oven in the cabinets above the counter. In the past, the only options have been to use a shelf in a wall cabinet or to build the microwave into a custom cabinet. Sharp’s OTC

microwaves provide a built-in-ready solution designed for standard 24" cabinets. Each OTC microwave is equipped with an under-the-cabinet light that acts as a decorative accent light, functional task light, or serviceable nightlight. An Accessory Kit is available with two stainless steel accessory bars and eight “S” hooks, ideal for essential cooking tools.

Over the Range “OTR” Microwaves — An OTR over a range or cooktop provides the additional functions of ventilation and task lighting. Sharp’s OTRs offer the option of venting to the outside vertically or horizontally, or recirculating when outside venting is not available. Sharp markets the largest capacity OTR in the industry, as well as a convection microwave OTR that’s the perfect second oven.

Built-in Kits for microwave ovens — Sharp offers an assortment of UL-approved kits that allow you to build many of our larger countertop models into a cabinet or wall location. Kits are available in a number of color and material options. They provide proper air circulation when the microwave oven is built into a closed location. Please refer to each individual model’s operation manual (available at www.Sharpusa.com) for installation recommendations.
