1. Make sure that all packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
2. Check the microwave for any damage, such as a misaligned or bent door,
damaged door seals or sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and
latches, or dents inside the oven or on the door. If there is any damage, con-
tact Customer Service.
3. This microwave oven must be placed on a flat, heat-resistant, stable surface to
hold its weight and the heaviest food likely to be cooked in the microwave.
4. Do NOT place the microwave where heat, moisture or high humidity are gen-
erated—or near combustible materials.
5. For correct operation, the oven must have sufficient airflow. Allow 8 inches of
space above the oven, 4 inches at back and 2 inches at each side. Do NOT
cover or block any openings on the appliance. Do NOT remove the micro-
wave’s feet.
6. Do NOT operate the microwave without the Glass Tray, Roller Ring and Shaft
in their proper positions.
7. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged and does not run under
the microwave or over any hot or sharp surface.
8. The socket must be readily accessible so that it can be easily unplugged in an
emergency.
Electrical requirements: 120-volt, 60-Hz, AC only, 20 amp.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the microwave be
provided. The microwave is equipped with a 3-prong ground plug. It must be
plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
Power Supply Cord
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from entangle-
ment in, or tripping over, a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and the
longer cord should not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can
be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE:
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult
a qualified technician.
We cannot accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting
from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
Radio or TV interference
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio
or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different circuit, relocate the radio
or TV as far from the oven as possible, or check position and signal of receiving
antenna.

Installation
Grounding Instructions
Electrical Requirements
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if you are unsure whether the appliance is properly grounded.
1. Do NOT use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have
an electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
2. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be
equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
