This microwave 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. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. For
questions regarding the grounding instructions, please contact our Customer Support Center at 1-866-257-3336.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded, and either:
1) 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 shall be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance, or 2) Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING:
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in risk of electric shock.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements for this microwave are a 120V, 60Hz, AC only, 20 amp.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the microwave be provided.
The microwave is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall outlet properly installed
and grounded.
POWER CORD
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
long cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is taken in using them.
If using a longer cord, the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical marking of the microwave itself and the extension cord must be a grounded-type 3-wire cord. The
longer cord should be arranged so it will not drape over the counter or tabletop.
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 circuit, relocated the radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check position and
signal of receiving antenna.
