How to Uninstall an R-1481 Sharp Carousel Microwave

The Sharp R-1481 is a discontinued model of microwave oven designed to mount over a cooktop or stove, with support from an overhead cabinet. The R-1481 also bolts into the wall studs above the cooktop or stove. If you need to uninstall the microwave, perhaps to have the appliance repaired or replace it with a newer model, recruit a helper to hold the microwave while you take out the supporting hardware. This is an essential safety precaution to prevent injury.
