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 Service Center at 1-800-324-0340.
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.
WARNING
:
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in risk of electric shock.
