GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be
grounded. The oven is
equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. It must be
plugged into a wall receptacle
that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and
ordinances. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock
by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock. Do not use an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician
or serviceperson install an outlet near the appliance.
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service technician.
