MICROWAVE OVEN SAFETY

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 cleanser
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
A 120-Volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 20-amp fused
electrical supply is required. A time delay fuse is
recommended. It is recommended that a separate
circuit, serving only this appliance, be provided.

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.
Ensure proper
ground exists
before use
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

(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.
DANGER
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
electrical shock, fire, or death.
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
doubt exists 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.
