Unpacking and Examining Your Oven
Remove:
1. all packing materials from inside the oven cavity;
however, DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE
COVER, which is located on the right cavity wall.
Read enclosures and SAVE the Operation Manual.
2. the feature sticker, if there is one, from the outside
of the door.
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 dam-
age, do not operate the oven and contact your dealer
or SHARP AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
Choosing a Location for Your Oven on
the counter
You will use the oven frequently so plan its location
for ease of use. It’s wise, if possible, to have counter
space on at least one side of the oven. Allow at least
2 inches on the sides, top and at the rear of the oven
for air circulation.
