LECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 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.
For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven 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. 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 electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven
is properly grounded.

cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or

grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or
an equipment grounding conductor should be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the
