UNPACKING AND EXAMINING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
1. Remove all packing materials from inside the microwave
oven cavity; however, DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE
COVER, which is located on the top cavity wall. Read all
enclosures and SAVE the use and care manual.
2. Check the microwave oven for any damage, such as a
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
authorized servicer.
CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
The microwave may be built into your kitchen, using Hestan’s
Built-In Kit AKMWCK27 or AKMWCK30. It may also be used
on a counter. Plan your microwave’s location so that it is easy to
get to and use. It’s wise, if possible, to have counter space on at
least one side of the microwave oven. Allow at least 2 inches [5
cm] on the sides, top and at the rear of the microwave oven for air
circulation.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. This 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 the 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
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 oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded. Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified
electrician install a grounded wall receptacle.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
NOTES:
• Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop or table
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
• If building the unit in, for example with Hestan’s Built-In Kit
AKMWCK27 or AKMWCK30, no extension cord is permissible.
If a suitable outlet is not within reach of the appliance cord, have
an electrician install one.
• If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrical or service person.
• Neither Hestan 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 procedure.
