GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of elec-
trical shock. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUNDING PRONG.
6. For your personal safety, this appliance
must be grounded. In the event of an elec-
trical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electrical shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a polarized 3-
prong grounding plug. It must be plugged
into a correctly polarized mating 3-prong
grouding type wall receptacle, properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local
codes and ordinances. If a mating wall
receptacle is not available or if you are not
sure if the wall receptacle is properly
grounded and polarized, have it checked
by a qualified electrician.

Grounding prong
It is personal responsibility and obliga-
tion of the customer to have a properly
grounded and correctly polarized 3-prong
wall receptacle installed by a qualified elec-
trician.
Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
It is not recommended to use an exte-
nsion cord with your microwave oven,
but if you find it necessary to do so tem-
porarily (until a properly grounded and
polarized 3-prong receptacle is
installed), use only a heavy duty UL
listed 3-wire grounding type extension
cord containing three 16-gauge (mini-
mum) copper wires. It must not be longer
than 10 feet (cords longer than 10 feet may
affect the cooking performance of your
microwave oven). The plug on the exten-
sion cord must fit into a 3-prong grounding
type wall receptacle (as shown on this
page) and the receptacle end of the exten-
sion cord must accept the 3-prong ground-
ing plug of the microwave oven.
