2 WALL CONSTRUCTION
This Microwave Oven/Hood 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
®
Please read all instructions thoroughly before installing the Microwave Oven/Hood System.
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/Hood is installed. See 3 ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS on page 2.
1 MOUNTING SPACE
This Microwave Oven/Hood requires a mounting space on a
wall as shown in Figure 1. It is designed to be used with standard
12-inch wall cabinets.
If the space between the wall cabinets is 36 or 42 inches, a Filler
Panel Kit can be used to fill the gap.The metal filler panels come
in 3-inch wide pairs. One set is needed for a 36-inch opening and
2 sets for a 42-inch opening. See page 8 for ordering information.
TheFillerPanelKitshould beinstalledbefore theMicrowaveOven/
Hood is installed.

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.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. DO NOT UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN
FROM THE PLUG.
The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to a separate
120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single grounded
receptacle. The receptacle should be located inside the cabinet directly
above the Microwave Oven/Hood mounting location.
NOTE:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instruc-
tions, 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.

4 HOOD EXHAUST DUCT
When the hood is vented to the outside, a hood exhaust duct is required.All ductwork must be metal; absolutely do not use plastic
duct. Check that all connections are made securely. Please read the following carefully:
Exhaust connection: The hood exhaust has been designed to connect to a standard 3-1/4”x 10”rectangular duct. If round duct
is required, a rectangular-to-round adapter must be used.
Rear exhaust: If a rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used, care should be taken to align the exhaust with the space between the
studs, or wall should be prepared at the time it is constructed by leaving enough space between wall studs to accommodate
exhaust.
Maximum duct length: For satisfactory air movement, the total
duct length of 3-1/4”X 10”rectangular or 6”diameter round duct
should not exceed 140 feet.
Elbows, adapters, wall caps, roof caps, etc. present additional
resistance to air flow and are equivalent to a section of straight
duct which is longer than their actual physical size. When
calculating the total length, add the equivalent lengths of all
transitions and adapters plus the length of all straight duct
sections. Figure 3 shows the approximate feet of equivalent
length of some typical ductwork parts. Use the values in
parentheses for calculating air flow resistance equivalent, which
should total less than 140 feet.
