BEFORE USE
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a polarized 3-prong grounding
plug. It must
be plugged into a correctly polarized mating 3-prong grounding
type wall receptacle (refer
to Figure
l), properly
installed
and grounded
in accordance
with local codes and
ordinances.
If a mating wall receptacle
is not available or if you are not sure if the wall
receptacle is properly grounded and polarized,
have it checked by a qualified electrician.
It is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded
and correctly polarized 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
Consult a qualified electrician
if the grounding
instructions
are not completely
understood,
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
It is not recommended
to use an extension
cord with your microwave
oven, but if you
find it necessary
to do so temporarily
(until a properly
grounded
and polarized
3-prong
receptacle
is installed),
use only a heavy duty UL listed 3-wire grounding
type exten-
sion cord containing
three 16-gauge (minimum)
copper wires. It must not be longer than
10 feet (cords longer than 10 feet may affect the cooking performance
of your microwave
oven). The plug on the extension cord must fit into a 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle
(as shown on this page) and the receptacle end of the extension
cord must accept the
3-prong grounding
plug of the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension
cord
should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
