PRODUCT OVERVIEW

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Location of Model Number

To request service information or replacement parts, 

the service center requires the complete model 

number of your microwave oven. The model number 

is on the oven back as shown in the illustration below.

Model number label

Electrical Requirements

The oven is designed to operate on a Standard 120 

V/60 Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at 

least 15 A or 20 A and the microwave oven is the only 

appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50 Hz 

or any circuit other than a 120 V/60 Hz circuit. 

No other electrical appliances or lighting circuits 

should be on this line. If in doubt, consult a licensed 

electrician.

Voltage Warning

The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the 

same as specified on the oven name plate located 

on the back or on the side of the control panel of the 

oven. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may 

result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven 

damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. If the 

microwave oven does not perform normally in spite of 

proper voltage, remove and reinsert the plug.

Placement of the Oven

The microwave oven can be placed easily in your 

kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home. 

Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen 

countertop or a specially designed microwave oven 

cart. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range. 

Free airflow around the oven is important. Allow at 

least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of 

the oven for proper ventilation.

Do Not Block Air Vents

All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If 

air vents are covered during oven operation the oven 

may overheat. If this happens, a sensitive thermal 

safety device automatically turns the oven off. The 

oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of 

an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the 

risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire 

for the electric current. This appliance is equipped 

with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding 

plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is 

properly installed and grounded.

WARNING

 

Improper use of grounding can result in a 

risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the 

grounding instructions are not completely understood, 

or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is 

properly grounded.
1. Use of an extension cord is not recommended. If 

the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified 

electrician or service person 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 must be equal to or greater 

than the electrical rating of the appliance.

NOTE

 

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce 

the risks resulting from becoming entangled in 

or tripping over a longer cord.

 

Longer cord sets or extension cords are 

available and may be used if care is exercised 

in their use.

 

If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) 

the marked electrical rating of the cord set or 

extension cord must be at least as great as 

the electrical rating of the appliance, (2) the 

extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire 

cord, and (3) the longer cord should not be 

draped over a counter or table where children 

could pull on it, or located where it could 

present a trip hazard.

See the separate Installation Instructions for 

directions on placing the cord properly.

Ensure proper ground 

exists before use

Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch 

or crush it in any way.
