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 microwave oven.
If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave 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.
Handle the microwave oven gently. The weight of the microwave
oven is more than 35 lbs (15.9 kg).
■
Place the microwave oven on a cart, counter, table or shelf
that is strong enough to hold the microwave 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 “Microwave Oven Built-In Trim Kit
Installation Instructions.”
■
Do not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow a
few inches of space at the back of the microwave oven where
the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the exhaust vents
could cause damage to the microwave oven, as well as 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 microwave oven off. The
microwave 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 oven next to or over a heat source
without a UL approved (CSA approved in Canada)
trim kit.
Doing so can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
microwave oven.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
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.
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.
