Important Product Grounding and Outlet Information
Test Procedures (2 Methods)
Method 1
Purchase and use a ground monitor (Figure 2, Page 8)
available under Amana Part Number R0193001 or it can
be purchased locally. The lamps inside the monitor
indicates a correctly or incorrectly wired outlet by
instructions imprinted on the monitor body.
Method 2
Voltmeter - (Use scale over 125 Volts A.C.)
Test A - "H" to "N" must indicate line voltage.
Test B - "H" to "G" must indicate line voltage.
Test C - "N" to "G" must indicate zero (0) volts.
If "N" to "G" indicates line voltage the outlet is
mispolarized.
If "H" to "G" indicates zero (0) volts the outlet is not
grounded.

!
Wiring changes or grounding of wall outlet are to be
made only by a qualified electrician.
In the event a grounding adaptor (not used in Canada)
has been TEMPORARILY installed the test procedures
described in Methods 1 and 2 above should be used
(Figure 3).
NOTE: The green wire or tab should be connected to a
proper ground by a qualified electrician.
General Test Information
Most testing in the manual is conducted with an
ohmmeter using a multiplier scale of X10k (k-thousand
ohms). When using this scale, it is important that your
fingers do not touch the metal parts of the test probes.
To do so will give a false indicate of the ohm reading.
