Important Safety Precautions

Related Equipment Safety

Remove all tape and packaging before using the microwave. Dispose of the packaging after
unpacking the oven. Do not let children play with the packing material. Do not modify the oven
(e.g., remove panels, wire covers, screws).

DANGER—ELECTRIC-SHOCK HAZARD

• To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death; verify your appliance is grounded
according to local codes, or in their absence, with the National Electrical Code (NEC). ANSI/
NFPA 70-latest edition.

• To avoid severe personal injury and possibly death, the electricity must be off while the elec­trical connections are made.

WARNING—MOVING HAZARD

To avoid risk of severe personal injury; this appliance requires two or more people while han­dling and moving. Use of appliance moving devices is recommended.

WARNING

Never let anyone climb, sit, stand, hang, or put any kind of weight on the open oven drawer. Such
activity could result in property damage and personal injury.

Grounding the Microwave In-A-Drawer

The microwave has a 3-prong grounding plug that must be plugged into a grounded outlet.
If only a 2-prong wall outlet is available, the customer shall have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong outlet.

• Do not remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

• Do not use an adapter plug.

• Do not use an extension cord. (If the power cord is too short, have a qualied electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.)

• Do not use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.

Important Safety Precautions

Follow these precautions with exactness to avoid re or electrical shock that may cause property

damage, personal injury, or death.

WARNING

• Follow the information in this manual exactly to avoid re or electrical shock that may cause
property damage, personal injury, or death.

• Ensure the microwave is properly installed and grounded by a qualied technician.

• New branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, RVs, or installations where local
codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, require a 4-wire branch-circuit con­nection.

• Improper connection of aluminum house wiring to copper leads can cause an electrical hazard
or re. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum, and follow the manufac­turer’s recommended procedure closely.

• Electricity must be off while the electrical connections are made. Failure to do so can
result in severe personal injury or death.

• See this manual’s content regarding Safety, Cabinet Dimensions, Removing Packaging, Elec­trical Installation, Testing the Installation and Customer Service.

• Team-lift the unit directly into the cabinet cutout.

• Ensure the electrical conduit reaches to the connection point properly.

• Slide the unit fully into place, while routing the electrical conduit correctly.

• With a Phillips screwdriver and supplied screws, anchor the oven to the cabinetry opening.

About the Electrical Outlet

Installing the Anti-Tip Block

A 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more pro­tected electrical supply is required. It is prefer­able that the oven be on its own circuit.

The drawer has a 3-prong grounding plug that
must be plugged into a properly installed and
grounded outlet. If only a 2-prong outlet is

available, have a qualied electrician install a

proper outlet.

NOTE: Address any questions to a qualied

electrician or service technician.

This block keeps the oven from tipping forward
and possibly spilling hot foods and liquids.
It must be installed so its bottom is 14 13/16”

above the cutout oor.

The installer shall provide the anti-tip block.

(See pgs. 9 and 10 for specic placements.)

If the drawer is relocated, relocate the block
with it.

Installing the Microwave In-A-Drawer
