Purchase and use a ground monitor available under A good service practice is never route wiring over Amana Part Number R0193001 or it can be purchased terminals and/ or sharp edges. This applies to any wiring locally. The lamps inside the monitor indicate a correctly without regard to the circuit voltage.
• Inspect equipment for damage such as dents in door or dents inside oven cavity. • Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately. Do not attempt to use oven if damaged. • Remove all materials from oven interior. Equipment Placement • Do not install equipment 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 air filter. Allow access for cleaning. • Install on level countertop surface.
