‚INSTALLATION & GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 surfaces of the oven.
(See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on
page 17.)
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 Requireniehie
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 the times
recommended in this manual.
. The VOLTAGE used must be the same as
specified on this microwave oven (120V). Using a
higher voltage is dangerous and may result in a
fire or other accident causing slow cooking. The
manufacturer 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.
N
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,
(a) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrica! rating of the appliance,
(b) the extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord,
(c) 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.
