Installation - Amana M1020E Owner's Manual & Cooking Manual

A. 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.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
WARNING
Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a long cord.
Extension cord:
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a
3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug
on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension
cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical
rating of the appliance.
Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop
or table where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over accidentally.
B. CIRCUITS
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a
15 or 20 Amp circuit. No other electrical appliances or
lighting circuits should be on this line. If in doubt,
consult a licensed electrician.

INSTALLATION

C. VOLTAGE
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the
same as specified on the oven name plate located
inside oven door. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous
and may result in a fire or other type of accident
causing oven damage. Low voltage will cause slow
cooking. In case your microwave oven does not
perform normally in spite of proper voltage, remove
and reinsert the plug.
D. PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN
Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your
kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home.
Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen
countertop or a specially designed microwave oven
cart. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range.
Free air flow around the oven is important.
E. DO NOT BLOCK AIR VENTS
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If
air vents are covered during oven operation the oven
may overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety
device automatically turns the oven off. The oven will
be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
F. RADIO INTERFERENCE

radio reception.
