fire, or electrical shock.

WARNING

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE 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. 

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.

This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
