4. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
5. For your personal safety, this appliance
must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical 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 polar-
ized mating 3-prong grounding type wall
receptacle, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances. If a mating wall recep-
tacle 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.
3-prong grounding
type wall receptacle
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
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
extension cord with your microwave
oven, but if you find it necessary to do
so temporarily (until a properly
grounded and polarized 3-prong recep-
tacle is installed), use only a heavy duty,
UL listed, 3-wire grounding type exten-
sion cord containing three 1 G-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.
