INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking
1. Empty the microwave oven of any packing materials.
2. Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Check for damage, such as:
■
a door that is not lined up correctly
■
damage around the door, or
■
dents on the interior or exterior of the oven.
If there is any damage, do not operate the oven until a
designated service technician has checked it and made any
needed repairs.
Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: The control side of the unit is the heavy side. Use
care when handling the oven.
■
Place the oven on a cart, counter, table or shelf that is strong
enough to hold the oven and the food and utensils you place
inside it.
■
The microwave oven should be at a temperature above 50°F
(10°C) for proper operation.
NOTE: Some models can be built into a wall or cabinet by using
one of the trim kits listed in the “Installation Instructions for Built-
In Trim Kit.”
■
Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow a
few inches of space at the back of the oven where the
exhaust vents are located. Blocking the exhaust vents could
cause damage to the oven and poor cooking results.
■
Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure
proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal safety
device may automatically turn the oven off. The oven should
work properly once it has cooled.
Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120-Volt, 60-Hz,
AC-only, 15- or 20-amp fused electrical supply (or circuit breaker)
is required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance
be provided.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Do not install the oven next to or over a heat
source without a UL approved trim kit.
Doing so can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not remove ground prong.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■
For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven 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 plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.
■
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a grounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment
grounding conductor should be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment
grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
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 microwave oven.
