and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt

separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as
shown in the appropriate drawing. Models operate with a
120 supply voltage. When a microwave oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking
times may be required and fuses can be blown.
