Grounding Instructions.3 - Quasar MQS0660 Operating Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Examine Your Oven
Unpack oven, remove all packing material, and
examine the oven for any damage such as dents,
broken door latches or cracks in the door. Notify the
dealer immediately if oven is damaged. DO NOT
install if the oven is damaged.
Placement of Oven
1. Oven must be placed on a flat, stable surface. For
proper operation, the oven must have sufficient air
flow. Allow 3 inches (8 cm) of space on both sides
of the oven and 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space on top of
oven.
a. DO NOT block air vents.
If they are blocked during operation, the oven
may overheat. If the oven overheats, a thermal
safety device will turn the oven off. The oven will
remain inoperable until it has cooled.
b. DO NOT place oven near a hot damp surface
such as a gas or electric range.
c. DO NOT operate oven when room humidity is
too high.
2. This oven was manufactured for household use
only.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance 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. This appliance 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 plug
can result In a risk of electric shock. Consult a
qualified electrician or service person if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
three wire extension cord that has a third blade
grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will
accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating
of the extension cord should be equal to or greater
than the electrical rating of the appliance.
Radio Interference
1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
(See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on
page 13)
b. Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the
microwave oven as far as possible.
c. Use a properly installed antenna to obtain
stronger signal reception.
Wiring Requirements
1. The oven must be on a SEPARATE CIRCUIT. No
other appliance should share the circuit with the
microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse
may blow or the circuit breaker may trip, or the
food may cook slower than times recommended
in this manual.
2. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as
specified on this microwave oven (120 V). Using a
higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a
fire or other accident causing oven damage.
Using a lower voltage will cause slow cooking.
Quasar is NOT responsible for damage resulting
from the use of the oven with other than specified
voltage.
3. The oven must be plugged into at least a 15 AMP,
120 VOLT, 60 Hz GROUNDED OUTLET. Where
a standard
two-prong
outlet is
encountered,
it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the
consumer to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong outlet.
4. A TEMPORARY CONNECTIONS with a two
prong adaptor may be made where LOCAL
CODES PERMIT it. Unless the cover screw is
grounded through the house wiring, attaching the
adaptor grounding plate to the cover screw will
not ground the oven. If there is any doubt that the
cover screw
is. grounded,
have it
checked by
an electrician.
Power Supply
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce
the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the
marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the extension
cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
(3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over accidentally.
