Electrical Shock Hazard

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electrical shock. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUNDING PRONG.

6.For your personal safety, this appliance

must be grounded. In the event of an electri- Cal short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a polarized 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a correctly polarized mating 3-prong ground- ing type wall receptacle, properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available or if you are not sure if the Wall receptacle is properly grounded and polarized, have it checked by a qualified electrician.

7.To test the oven, plug it into

TIP-- - the proper electrical outlet. Put

:r- about one cup (250mL) of cold water in a glass container in the

oven.

Close the door. Make sure it latches. Follow the directions on page 12 to set the oven to COOK for 2 minutes. When the time is up, the water should be heated.

It is the personal responsibility and obliga- tion of the customer to have a properly grounded and correctly polarized 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified elec- trician.

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

It is not recommended to use an exte-

nsion cord with your microwave oven, but if you find it necessary to do so temporar- ily (until a properly grounded and pola- rized 3-prong receptacle is installed), use only a heavy duty UL listed 3-wire ground- ing type extension cord containing three

16-gauge (minimum) copper wires. It must not be longer than 10 feet (cords longer than 10 feet may affect the cooking performance of your microwave oven). The plug on the extension cord must fit into a 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle (as shown on this page) and the receptacle end of the extension cord must accept the 3-prong grounding plug of the microwave oven.

6.This microwave oven is designed for use in the household only and must not be used for commercial purposes.

Do not remove the door, control panel or cabinet at any time. The unit is equipped with high voltage and should be serviced by an authorizedYVhirlpool= service technician.
