IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

UNPACKING AND EXAMINING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN

Open the bottom of the carton, bend the carton fl aps back and tilt the microwave oven 
over to rest on plastic foam pad. Lift carton off microwave oven and remove all packing 
materials, Installation Instructions, Wall Template, Top Template, Charcoal Filter, Turntable 
and Turntable Support. SAVE THE CARTON AS IT MAY MAKE INSTALLATION EASIER.

• Remove the feature sticker from the outside of the door, if there is one.

• DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the ceiling in 

the microwave oven cavity. Check to see that there are Installation Instructions, Wall 
Template, Top Template and  Charcoal Filter, which is used when recirculating is chosen. 
Read enclosures and SAVE the Use and Care Manual.

Check the microwave oven for any damage, such as misaligned or bent door, damaged 
door seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches and dents inside 
the cavity or on the door. If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave oven and 
contact your dealer or ELECTROLUX SERVICER. See Installation Instructions for more 
details.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be 
plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and 
ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric 
current.

 Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Electrical Requirements

Check Installation Instructions for proper location for the power supply.

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more protected 
electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the microwave 
oven be provided.

The microwave oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged 
into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. DO NOT UNDER ANY 
CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PIN FROM THE PLUG. 
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualifi ed electrician or serviceman install an 
outlet near the appliance.

The Power Supply Cord and plug must be connected to a separate 120 Volt AC, 60 
Hz, 15 Amp, or more branch circuit, single grounded receptacle. The receptacle should 
be located inside the cabinet directly above the Microwave Oven mounting location as 
shown in Figure 1.

NOTES:

 

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a 

qualifi ed electrician or service person.

2. Neither Electrolux nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the microwave 

oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the correct 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 electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV 
as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving 
antenna.
