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
polarized mating 3-prong grounding type
wall receptacle, properly installed and
grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordi-
nances. 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.

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 ground-
ing 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
s-prong receptacle is installed), use only a
heavy duty UL listed 3-wire grounding type
extension cord containing three 16-gauge
(minimum) copper wires. It must not be longer
than 10 feet (cords longer than 10 feet may
