Microwave Oven Safety
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven 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 electric current. The microwave
oven is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the
grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or
serviceman if the
grounding instructions
are not completely understood
, or if
doubt exists as to whether the
microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power
supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet
near the microwave oven.
• For a permanently connected
appliance:
The microwave oven must be
connected to a grounded, metallic,
permanent wiring system, or an
equipment grounding conductor should
be run with the circui
t conductors and
connected to the equip
ment grounding
terminal or lead on the microwave oven.
