What we could not confirm
- The 2010 to 2011 format is only partially confirmed (PARTIAL (masked example, 2-year chart)).
- The 2010 to 2011 format is documented but not decodable here: no example serial.
- building-center (2011 chart credited to hisearch.web.officelive.com): ZT###### - letter 1 = month, letter 2 = year, with only T=2010 and V=2011 charted. The month letters (A D F G H L M R S T V Z) and T/V year letters are exactly the GE appliance system, so this is probably Sharp-built GE-style dating (ESTIMATE). getsupport.sharpusa.com = 200 (support portal); sharpusa.com warranty/registration paths 404.
