Placement of the Oven
Locate the oven on a smooth, flat and stable surface.
There should be no gap between the table surface and
the bottom of the oven. Do not place the oven in a hot
or damp area, ie. near a stove, sink or directly above
heat lamps on a serving line. Free airflow around the
oven is important. There is a possibility of a small
amount of interference with weak broadcast signals if
the microwave oven is too close to a radio or TV.
Grounding Instructions
This oven must be grounded electrically. 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 appliance 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 service person if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is
properly connected.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
three wire extension cord that has a three blade
grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of
the extension cord should be equal to or greater than
the electrical rating of the oven.
Protective Film Removal
A blue protective film is used to prevent scratching of
the outer case during transportation. Peel the film from
the exterior of the oven before installation or use.
Wiring Requirements
No other appliance should share the circuit with the
microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse may
overload and either cause the oven to heat slower than
expected or blow the fuse.
