Kenmore 721.88512, 721.88519, 721.88513 Electrical Requirements, For all cord connected appliances

•Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

•Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.

•Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the microwave oven near water, for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or similar location.

•Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

•Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

•Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

•Do not mount over a sink.

•Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

•Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible

(a} Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b} Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to

accumulate on sealing surfaces.

bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:

1)Do not overheat the liquid.

2)Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

3)Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

4)After heating, allow the container to stand

in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container.

5)Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

(c)Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1)Door (bent),

(2)Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),

(3)Door seals and sealing surfaces.

(d)The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120-Volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 20-amp fused electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

•For all cord connected appliances:

The microwave oven 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. The microwave 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.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electrical shock.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove ground

prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these

instructions can result in death,

fire, or electrical shock.

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

(a)Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.

(b} A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

•For a permanently connected appliance: Contact a qualified electrician to install.
