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.
•

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.
•
Place warning label in a conspicuous place close to microwave oven.
(50 Hz models only)
•
Outlet should be located so that plug is accessible when oven is in place.
A—Allow at least 4" (10.2 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 4" (10.2 cm) between air discharge on back of oven and back wall.

Grounding/Earthing
Instructions
Oven MUST be grounded.
Grounding 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 ground 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 oven is
properly grounded.
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.
