UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
UNP ACKING AND EXAMINING YOUR OVEN
Open the bottom of the carton, bend the carton flaps back and tilt the oven over to
rest on plastic foam pad. Lift carton off oven and remove all packing materials,
WALL and TOP CABINET TEMPLATE, T urntable, and T urntable 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.
INST ALLA TION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
1 MOUNTING SPACE
This Microwave Oven requires a mounting
space on a wall as shown in Figure 1. It is
designed to be used under standard 24-inch
wide wall cabinets.
24"
Figure 1
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.

UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
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 the oven be provided.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a
wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE
PLUG.
The single grounded receptacle should be located inside the cabinet directly
above the Microwave Oven mounting location as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.
2. Neither Sharp nor the dealer can accept any liability for
damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure
to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave
oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a
different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away
from the oven as feasible or check position and signal of
receiving antenna.

7 OVEN INSTALLATION
THIS OVEN CANNOT BE PROPERLY INSTALLED WITHOUT REFERRING TO THE MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOUND ON WALL AND TOP CABINET TEMPLATES.
THE NEXT STEP IS TO READ AND FOLLOW MOUNTING INFORMATION ON WALL AND TOP CABINET
TEMPLATES. THIS OVEN MUST BE ATTACHED TO AT LEAST ONE WALL STUD. SEE WALL CONSTRUC-
TION ON PAGE 6.
WHEN DONE WITH TEMPLATES, PROCEED TO MOUNTING SCALE PLATE SECTION.
MOUNTING SCALE PLATE
Attach 2 Scale Plates 8 with tape (not included). See
Figure 6 and WALL TEMPLATE for locations.
NOTE:
This Microwave Oven may not be built-in directly over gas
or electric ovens or cooktops. To reduce the risk of fire or
electrical shock, install at least 13 3/16" above the
countertop.
Figure 6
Scale Plates
Mounting Plate
MOUNTING PLATE
1. Separate 4 Toggle Bolts 2, packed in the INSTALLATION HARDWARE, from the Toggle Nuts.
2. Match 5/8” holes (not in studs), drilled through WALL AND T OP CABINET TEMPLA TE into wall to corresponding
holes on Mounting Plate.
3. Insert Toggle Bolts into matched openings on Mounting Plate. Put Toggle Nuts on Toggle Bolts. See Figure 7.
4. Position the Mounting Plate with the Toggle Bolts attached at the wall location and insert Toggle Nuts and Bolts
through the holes in the wall with the Toggle Nuts closed. Figure 8. Use Wood Screws 1 to attach the Mounting
Plate to studs.
NOTE: Before insertion, be sure you leave a space more than the thickness of the wall between the Mounting
Plate and the end of each of the Toggle Nuts (in the closed position). If you do not leave enough space, the
Toggle Nut will not be able to open on the other side of the wall. Also, once a T oggle Nut opens, it cannot be
withdrawn from the hole; therefore make sure all of the Toggles are in the correct position before
insertion.
5. Align the Mounting Plate carefully and hold in position while tightening Toggle Bolts. Pull Toggle Bolt toward you
and turn clockwise to tighten. Figure 9.
