2. Check the microwave for damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing surface, broken
or loose door hinges and latches, and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there are any damages, do not operate
the microwave and contact Customer Service at 1-800-324-0340.
3. This microwave must be placed on a flat, stable surface to hold its weight and the heaviest food likely to be cooked
inside.
4. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity is generated.Do not place microwave near combustible
materials.
5. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient air flow. Allow 8" of space above the microwave, 4" at the back,
and 2" on each side of the unit.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This microwave must be grounded.In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. 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, and either: 1) If it is
necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounded plug, and 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, or 2) Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.For questions regarding the grounding instructions,
please contact our Customer Support Center at 1-800-324-0340.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements for this microwave are a 120V, 60Hz, AC only, 20 amp.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the microwave be provided.
The microwave is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall outlet properly installed and
grounded.
POWER CORD

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long
cord.

Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is taken in using them.

If using a longer cord, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical marking of the microwave itself and the extension cord must be a grounded-type 3-wire cord. The longer
cord should be arranged so it will not drape over the counter or tabletop.
