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 electri-
cal 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 ground-
ing 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.
3-prong grounding type
Power supply
It is the 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 exten-
sion cord with your microwave oven, but
if you find it necessary to do so temporar-
ily (until a properly grounded and pola-
rized 3-prong receptacle is installed), use
only a heavy duty UL listed 3-wire ground-
ing 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 microwave 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.
