Grounding Instructions - Samsung ME179KFETSR/AA User Manual

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 electrical current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire and a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
- Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove the third (grounding) prong. Do
not use an adaptor or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.
- Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.
- We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the power-
supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet
near the appliance. However, if it is necessary to use an extension cord, read and
follow the "Use of Extension Cords" section below.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of your becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and you
can use them if you exercise care. If you use a long cord or extension cord:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged
into a 3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. If you use
an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the speed of the blower may vary
when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer too.
CRITICAL INSTALLATION WARNINGS
WARNING
The installation of this appliance must be performed by a qualified technician or
service company.
- Failing to have a qualified technician install the oven may result in electric
shock, fire, an explosion, problems with the product, or injury.
Unpack the oven, remove all packaging material and examine the oven for
any damage such as dents on the interior or exterior of the oven, broken door
latches, cracks in the door, or a door that is not lined up correctly. If there is
any damage, do not operate the oven and notify your dealer immediately.
Make sure to install your oven in a location with adequate space.
Remove all foreign substances such as dust or water from the power plug
terminals and contact points using a dry cloth on a regular basis.
