Important Safety Information
Grounding Instructions
This equipment 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. This 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.
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 the product power cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician install an appropriate
receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a
separate 50 or 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as
shown in the appropriate drawing. Models operate with a
208 or 230 supply voltage. When an oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking
times may be required and fuses can be blown.
• Do not operate or allow oven to be operated with
door open.
• Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be
serviced before activating the magnetron or other
microwave source, and make repairs as necessary:
• Interlock operation
• Proper door closing
• Seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and
other damage)
• Damage to or loosening of hinges and latches
• Evidence of dropping or abuse
• Before turning on microwave power for any service
test or inspection within the microwave generating
compartments, check the magnetron, waveguide or
transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment,
integrity, and connections.
• Any failed or misadjusted components in the
interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave
generation and transmission systems shall be
repaired, replaced or adjusted by procedures
described in this manual before oven is released to
the consumer.
• Check microwave leakage to verify compliance
with the federal performance standard should be
performed on each oven prior to release to the
consumer.
