DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard
An improperly grounded appliance
can result in electric shock. Do
not plug into an outlet until
appliance is properly installed
and grounded.
Three-pronged
(grounding) plug
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 sets or extension cord is used:
i) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension marked electrical rating of
the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.
ii) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
iii) 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 unintentionally.
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. To protect against electrical shock,
this appliance is equipped with a cord having a 3-
prong grounding-type plug for insertion into a proper
grounding-type receptacle. DO NOT alter the plug
for use in a 2-prong receptacle. DO NOT use a
3-prong adapter to enable the microwave to be
plugged into a 2-prong receptacle. If the plug will
not fit into a receptacle, have the proper receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman 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 3-wire extension cord that
h as a 3-pronged 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.
