Electrical Requirements; Grounding Instructions - Whirlpool MT8066SE Use And Care Manual

Electrical requirements

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 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.
WARNING:
Improper use of the
grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service-
man if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as
to whether the microwave oven is properly
grounded.
