Installation

Unpacking Oven

•Inspect oven for damage such as dents in door or inside oven cavity.

•Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately.

Do not attempt to use oven if damaged.

•Remove all materials from oven interior.

•If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a few hours before connecting power.

Radio Interference

Microwave operation may cause interference to radio, television, or a similar oven. Reduce or eliminate interference by doing the following:

•Clean door and sealing surfaces of oven according to instructions in Care and Cleaning section.

•Place radio, television, etc. as far as possible from oven.

•Use a properly installed antenna on radio, television, etc. to obtain stronger signal reception.

Oven Placement

•Do not install oven next to or above source of heat, such as pizza oven or deep fat fryer. This could cause microwave oven to operate improperly and could shorten life of electrical parts.

•Do not block or obstruct oven filter. Allow access for cleaning.

•Install oven on level countertop surface.

•Place warning label in a conspicuous place close to microwave oven. (50 Hz models only)

•Outlet should be located so that plug is accessible when oven is in place.

A

B

A—Allow at least 4" (10.2 cm) of clearance around top and sides of oven. Proper air flow around oven cools electrical components. With restricted air flow, oven may not operate properly and life of electrical parts is reduced.

B—Allow at least 4" (10.2 cm) between air discharge on back of oven and back wall.

Oven Clearances

!WARNING

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

!WARNING

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

Grounding/Earthing Instructions

Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current, if an electrical short occurs. This oven is equipped with a cord having a ground 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 oven 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 circuit with the electrical rating as provided in product specifications (available on Amana’s wavelink website). When a microwave oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.

External Equipotential

Earthing Terminal (export only) Equipment has secondary earthing terminal. Terminal provides external earthing connection used in addition to earthing prong on plug. Located on outside of oven back, terminal is marked with symbol shown below.
