Installation & Grounding Instructions
Examine Your Oven
Unpack oven, remove all packing material and
examine the oven for any damage such as dents,
broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify
dealer immediately if oven is damaged.
DO NOT install if oven is damaged.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable
surface. Place the front surface of the door three
inches or more from the counter top edge to
avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven
during normal use. For proper operation, the
oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 3-inches
(7.5 cm) of space on both sides of the oven and
6-inches (15 cm) of space on top of the oven.
(a) DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked
during operation, the oven may be overheated
and damaged.
(b) DO NOT place oven near a hot, damp surface
such as a gas or electric range, or
dishwasher.
(c) DO NOT operate oven when room humidity is
excessive.
2. This oven is manufactured for household use
only. It is not approved or tested for mobile
vehicle, marine, or commercial use.
3. This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if
desired, by using the proper trim kit, which may
be purchased from a local dealer.
Follow all installation instructions packed with kit.
(Trim Kit Model No. see page 30)
CAUTION:
In the built-in application, air from the top of
the trim kit's exhaust duct is very hot. Heat
transfer may damage or change the color of
the kitchen cabinet. Place the oven at least
4-inches (10 cm) away from the kitchen cabinet.
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
electric current. This 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 it is uncertain whether the appliance
is properly grounded or not.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
three wire extension cord that has a three-prong
polarized 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
appliance.
Power Supply
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the
marked electrical rating of the cord set or
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 (3) the longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over accidentally.
Wiring Requirements
1. The oven must be on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No
other appliance should share the circuit with the
microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse
may blow or the circuit breaker may trip, or the
food may cook slower than recommended in this
manual.
2. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as
specified on this microwave oven (120 V). Using
a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a
fire or other accident causing oven damage.
Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking.
Our company is NOT responsible for damage
resulting from the use of the oven with other than
specified voltage.
3. The oven must be plugged into at least a
20 AMP, 120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET.
Where a standard two-prong outlet is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and
obligation of the consumer
to have it replaced with
a properly grounded
three-prong outlet.
Radio Interference
1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV or similar
equipment.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven
(See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on
page 26)
b. Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the
microwave oven as far as possible.
c. Use a properly installed antenna to obtain
stronger signal reception.
Fan Motor Operation
After using the oven, the fan rotates to cool the
electric components. This is perfectly normal, and
you can take out the food from the oven while the fan
operates.
