Electrical Requirements
T
he Wolf microwave oven requires a separate, grounded
110/120 V AC, 60 Hz electrical supply. The service should
have its own 15 amp circuit breaker. A grounded 3-prong
receptacle should be located within reach of the power
cord. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is not recom-
mended and may cause interruption
of operation.
The microwave oven is equipped with a power cord with a
3-prong grounding plug. The power cord must be plugged
into a mating 3-prong grounded outlet. If you only have a
2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a
properly grounded outlet. If you have any questions about
the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified
electrician or service technician.
The power cord provided with the microwave oven is short
to reduce the risk of it becoming entangled or tripping
over it. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
The outlet must be checked by a qualified electrician to
see if it is wired with correct polarity. Verify that the outlet
provides 120-volts and is properly grounded.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Wolf cannot accept any liability for
damage to the microwave oven or personal injury resulting
from failure to observe the correct electrical connection
procedures.

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
oven. Make sure the cord does not hang over the counter-
top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
The marked rating of the extension cord should be
115/120 V AC, 15 amp or more.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. The 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.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
