Safety
Important Grounding
Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electrical current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord that includes
a grounding wire and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded. Plug the three-
prong power cord into a properly grounded
outlet of standard 115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your
oven should be the only appliance on this
circuit.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or
servicer if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you are
not sure if the appliance is properly
grounded.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords
may be used if care is exercised in their use. If
a Extension cord is used:
1. The extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3- wire cord and it must
be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.
3. If you use an extension cord, the interior
light may flicker and the blower may
vary when the microwave oven is on.
Cooking times may be longer, too.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord
under any circumstances.
Note
Connect the oven to a 20A circuit.
When connecting the oven to a 15A
circuit, make sure that circuit breaker
is operable.
