NSTRUCTIONS
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
electrical 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 the grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if you do not
understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the
appliance is properly grounded.
WARNING:
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord under any circumstances.
P re f e rred method of gro u n d i n g
Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard
115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this
circuit.
Using an adapter
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of an
adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes may
permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION
may be made to a properly grounded
2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, which is available at
most hardware stores.

Use of Extension Cords
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 ling cord or extension cord is used-
1.
The marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of
the applicance.
2.
The extension cord must be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must
be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.
3.
The longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
If you use an extension cord, the interi-
or light may flicker and the blower
sound may vary when the microwave
oven is on. Cooking times may be
longer, too.
