This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into
a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC
only, 15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this
appliance be provided.
The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall recep-
tacle that is properly installed and grounded. Should
you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified elec-
trician install a correct wall receptacle.
A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used tem-
porarily if local codes allow. Follow package directions.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension Cord
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be
AC 115-120 volt, 15 amp. or more.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
Notes:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions,
consult a qualified electrician or service person.
2. Neither Viking nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the
microwave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the cor-
rect electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV Interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio
or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different electrical circuit, relo-
cate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
