Installation
Unpacking Oven
•
Inspect oven for damage such as dents in door or 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.
•
If oven has been stored in extremely cold area, wait a few hours before
connecting power.
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.
•
If provided, 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.
A—Allow at least 7 " (17.8 cm) of clearance around 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.
B—Allow at least 7 " (17.8 cm) between air discharge on back of oven and back wall.

WARNING
!
To avoid risk of electrical shock or
death, this oven must be grounded.

A
The switching operation of this microwave oven can cause voltage
fluctuations on the supply line. The operation of this oven under unfavorable
voltage supply conditions can have adverse effects. This device is intended
for the connection to a power supply system with a maximum permissible
system impedance Zmax of
0.31 Ohm
at the interface point of the user’s
supply. The user has to ensure that this device is connected only to a power
supply system which fulfills the requirement above. If necessary, the user can
ask the public power supply company for the system impedance at the
interface point.
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of electrical shock
or death, do not alter the plug.
Earthing Instructions
Oven MUST be earthed.
Earthing
reduces risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the
electric current, if an electrical short
occurs. This oven is equipped with a
cord having a earth wire with a
earthing plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and earthed.
Consult a qualified electrician or
servicer if earthing instructions are
not completely understood, or if
doubt exists as to whether the oven
is properly earthed.
Do not use an extension cord.
If the product power cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician install a
three-slot receptacle. This oven
should be plugged into a separate
circuit with the electrical rating as
provided in product specifications
(available on Amana’s wavelink
website). When a microwave oven is
on a circuit with other equipment, an
increase in cooking times may be
required and fuses can be blown.
External Equipotential
Earthing Terminal
(export only)
Equipment has secondary earthing
terminal. Terminal provides external
earthing connection used in addition
to earthing prong on plug. Located
on outside of oven back, terminal is
marked with symbol shown below.
