Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered.

GroundingInstructions

Oven MUST be grounded. Grounding reduces risk of electric

shock by providing an escape wire

for the electric current if an electrical short occurs.This 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. See Installation Instructions.

Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three-slot receptacle.This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in specifications table. When the oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.

Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-120V.
