*Electrical Rating of the Oven: 120 V AC. 60 Hz.
*1300 Watts 12 Amperes (Microwave oven only)
*1500 Watts 13 Amperes
(Microwave oven + Cooktop Lamps + Ventilation Fan.)
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The oven is designed to operate on a Standard 120 volt/60 Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at least 15A and the microwave oven is the only appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50 Hz or any circuit other than a 120 volt/60 Hz circuit.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The cord for this appliance has a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
Put the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING - If you use the grounding plug
improperly, you risk electric shock.
Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation Instructions for directions on properly placing the cord. Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or crush it in any way.
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 should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
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.
