It is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the customer to have a properly grounded and
correctly polarized 3-prong wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.
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 exten-
sion cord with your microwave oven, but if
you find it necessary to do so temporarily
(until a properly grounded and polarized
3-prong receptacle is installed), use only a
heavy duty CSA approved 3-wire grounding
type extension cord containing three 16-
gauge (minimum) copper wires. It must not
be longer than 3 m (10 feet) (cords longer than
3 m [I 0 feet] may affect the cooking perfor-
mance 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.
To test the oven, plug it into the
proper electrical outlet. Put about
250 mL (1 cup) of cold water in
a glass container in the oven.
Close the door. Make sure it latches. Follow
the directions on page 13 to set the oven to
cook for 2 minutes. When the time is up, the
water should be heated.

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
