must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical 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
grounding type wall receptacle, properly

It is the personal responsibility and obligation
of the customer to have a properly grounded
and correctly polarized 3-prong wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.
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 exten-
sion cord with your microwave oven, but if
you find it necessary to do so temporarily
(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
(minimum) copper wires. It must not be longer
than 10 feet (cords longer than 10 feet may
affect the cooking performance of your micro-
wave oven). The plug on the extension cord
must fit into a 3-prong grounding type wall
receptacle (as shown on this page) and the
receptacle end of the extension cord must
accept the 3-prong grounding plug of the
microwave oven.
