ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Required:
• A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp
fused electrical supply (or circuit breaker).
Recommended:
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is
recommended.
• A separate circuit serving only this micro-
wave oven.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
• 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 ground-
ing wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the ground-
ing plug can result in a risk of electric
shock. Consult a qualified electrician
or serviceman if the grounding instruc-
tions are not completely understood, or
if doubt exists as to whether the micro-
wave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven.
