Electrical Requirements; Grounding Instructions - KitchenAid KHMS145J Use & Care Manual

Electrical requirements

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
A 120-Volt, 60-Hz, AC-only, 15- or 20-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.
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
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely under
stood, or if doubt exists as to whether the micro
wave oven is properly grounded.
