Installation & Grounding Instructions

Examine Your Oven

Unpack oven, remove all packing material and examine the oven for any damage such as dents, broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify dealer immediately if oven is damaged.

DO NOT install if oven is damaged.

Placement of Oven

1.The oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Place the front surface of the door three inches or more from the counter top edge to avoid accidental tipping of the microwave oven during normal use. For proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 3-inches (7.5 cm) of space on both sides of the oven and 6-inches (15 cm) of space on top of the oven.

(a)DO NOT block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may be overheated and damaged.

(b)DO NOT place oven near a hot, damp surface such as a gas or electric range, or dishwasher.

(c)DO NOT operate oven when room humidity is excessive.

2.This oven is manufactured for household use only. It is not approved or tested for mobile vehicle, marine, or commercial use.

3.This oven may be built into a wall cabinet, if desired, by using the proper trim kit, which may be purchased from a local dealer.

Follow all installation instructions packed with kit. (Trim Kit Model No.  see page 30)

CAUTION:

In the built-in application, air from the top of the trim kit's exhaust duct is very hot. Heat transfer may damage or change the color of the kitchen cabinet. Place the oven at least

4-inches (10 cm) away from the kitchen cabinet.

Power Supply

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

2.Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3.If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

Wiring Requirements

1.The oven must be on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No other appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse may blow or the circuit breaker may trip, or the food may cook slower than recommended in this manual.

2.The VOLTAGE used must be the same as specified on this microwave oven (120 V). Using a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing oven damage. Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking. Our company is NOT responsible for damage resulting from the use of the oven with other than specified voltage.

3.The oven must be plugged into at least a

20 AMP, 120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET. Where a standard two-prong outlet is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the consumer to have it replaced with

a properly grounded three-prong outlet.

Before Operation

Grounding Instructions

This appliance 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 appliance 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 plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if it is uncertain whether the appliance is properly grounded or not.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three-prong polarized grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to, or greater than, the electrical rating of the appliance.

Radio Interference

1.Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment.

2.When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

a.Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven (See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on page 26)

b.Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.

c.Use a properly installed antenna to obtain stronger signal reception.

Fan Motor Operation

After using the oven, the fan rotates to cool the electric components. This is perfectly normal, and you can take out the food from the oven while the fan operates.
