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. The Microwave Built-in Drawer 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.
WarnInG
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock. Do not use an extension
cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have
a qualified electrician or servicer install an outlet
near the appliance.

If you have any questions about the grounding or
electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician
or servicer.

The vent under the Microwave Built-in Drawer must not
be blocked. During microwaving, steam may come from
the right side of the vent.

warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.
Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence
the amount of moisture that condenses in the microwave

condensation as uncovered ones.

only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
