Grounding Instructions

NOTE: Do not under any circumstances cut or remove
grounding prong from the plug or bend power prongs to fit
receptacle other than one shown for your equipment.
Such abuse of the plug can result in electrical shock or
overheating.
!
WARNING
Improper use of grounding plug can result in a risk of
electrical shock or death.
This equipment MUST be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for electric current.
This oven is equipped with a cord having grounding wire
with a grounding plug. Plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT
use a two-prong adapter.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood or if doubt
exists as to whether the equipment is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If product power cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician install an
appropriate receptacle. This equipment should be
plugged into a separate 60 Hz circuit with the appropriate
electrical rating label. When the oven is on a circuit with
other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be
required and fuses can be blown.

Radio Interference

Microwave operation may cause interference to radio,
television or a similar oven. Reduce or eliminate
interference by doing the following:
• Clean door and sealing surfaces of oven according to
instructions in Care and Cleaning section.
• Place radio, television, etc. as far as possible from
oven.
• Use a properly installed antenna on radio, television,
etc. to obtain stronger signal reception.

Oven Placement

• Do not install oven next to or above source of heat,
such as pizza oven or deep fat fryer. This could cause
microwave oven to operate improperly and could
shorten life of electrical parts.
• Do not block or obstruct oven filter. Allow access for
cleaning.
• Install oven on level countertop surface.
• Place warning label in a conspicuous place close to
microwave oven.
• Outlet should be located so that plug is accessible
when oven is in place.

top and sides of oven. Proper air flow around oven
cools electrical components. With restricted air
flow, oven may not operate properly and life of
electrical parts is reduced.
