Electrical Requirements; Grounding - Kenmore 790.8032 Use & Care Manual

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with
the door open. Doing so can result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy. It is important
not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven
front face and the door, or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is
particularly important that the oven door closes properly
and that there is no damage to the:
(1) Door (bent)
(2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by
anyone except for a properly qualified service
technician.
ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
A 120-Volt, 60-Hz, AC-only,
15 or 20-amp fused electrical supply is required.
A time delay fuse is recommended. It is
recommended that a separate circuit, serving
only this appliance, is provided.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong
outlet. Do not remove ground
prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, fire or
electrical shock.
GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS
• For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven 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. The microwave
oven 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.
SAVE
WARNING:
Improper grounding
can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or service technician if you do not understand
the grounding instructions, or if you wonder whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service
technician install an outlet near the microwave oven.
• For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance has a short power supply cord to reduce
the risk of anyone tripping over or becoming entangled
in the cord. The microwave oven must be connected to
a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment grounding conductor should be run with the
circuit conductors and connected to the equipment
grounding terminal or lead on the microwave oven.
