Electrical Requirements

The Wolf microwave oven requires a separate, grounded 110/120 V AC, 60 Hz electrical supply. The service should have its own 15 amp circuit breaker. A grounded 3-prong receptacle should be located within reach of the power cord. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is not recom- mended and may cause interruption

of operation.

The microwave oven is equipped with a power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. The power cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounded outlet. If you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a properly grounded outlet. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service technician.

The power cord provided with the microwave oven is short to reduce the risk of it becoming entangled or tripping over it. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

The outlet must be checked by a qualified electrician to see if it is wired with correct polarity. Verify that the outlet provides 120-volts and is properly grounded.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Wolf cannot accept any liability for damage to the microwave oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. The oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

EXTENSION CORD

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a

3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the oven. Make sure the cord does not hang over the counter- top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. The marked rating of the extension cord should be 115/120 V AC, 15 amp or more.
