Grounding Instructions

WARNING

To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded.

WARNING

To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, do not alter the plug.

This oven MUST be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the equipment is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three- slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in drawing. Oven requires a 120 supply voltage. When a microwave oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.
