Grounding Instructions
This oven is equipped with a three prong grounding plug.
It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code, local codes and ordinances. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current.
Electrical Requirements
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR
REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG.
The power supply cord and plug must be connected to a
separate 120 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Amp. or more dedicated
line, using a grounded receptacle. When installing this
appliance, observe all applicable codes and ordinances.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Where a two-pronged wall-receptacle is encountered, it is
the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to contact a qualified electrician and have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-pronged wall receptacle or
have a grounding adapter properly grounded and
polarized.
If an extension cord must be used, it should be a 3-wire,
15 amp. or more rated cord. Do not drape over a
countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children
or tripped over accidentally.
Discharging Capacitor
1.
High Voltage Warning!
Do not attempt to measure any of the high voltages,
this includes the filament voltage of the magnetron.
High voltage is present during any cook cycle.
Before touching any components or wiring, always
unplug the oven and discharge the high voltage
capacitor (See Figure 1-2).
2. The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about
60 seconds after disconnection. Short the negative
terminal of the high-voltage capacitor to the oven
chassis. (Use an insulated screwdriver.)
3. High voltage is maintained within specified limits
by close-tolerance, safety-related components
and adjustments. If the high voltage exceeds the
specified limits, check each of the special
components.
