Sharp R-1410A R1410A R1410 Microwave Oven dismounting removal instructions

This is a google bread crumb. Since I just spent a day solving this problem, I'll leave this for others.

To remove the Sharp model R-1410A from it's wall bracket, you will need a Phillips screwdriver and someone strong to help you.

1. Look under the oven, in the open slots on each side. You will see a vertical control arm on each side, anchored with a Phillips screw.

1. Remove the screws from each arm.

2. Have your assistant stand in front of the oven, holding both sides. It will help if (s)he pushes the top in slightly.

1. Take the control arms you just released in step 2, and pull them both down as far as they'll go. This will free the retaining levers that are holding the top of the microwave to the mounting plate.

2. Your assistant should now be able to tilt the oven toward him/her, with the bottom edge of the mounting plate serving as a hinge.

1. After tilting the top of the over away from the wall, your assistant can lift the bottom edge of the microwave free of the mounting bracket at the bottom. It's a good idea to be out from under it before (s)he tries this, because this oven is very heavy. Better yet, grab one side and let him/her take the other. Put the oven down. Order pizza.

I hope this helps some weary Internaut some day. I wish someone had done it for me. Pay it forward.
