RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
STATEMENT
GROUNDING INSTR UCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, the grounding plug reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This appliance 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.
WARNING:
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy and if not installed and used
properly, that is in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause
interference to radio and television reception.
It has been type-tested and found to comply with limits for an ISM Equipment pursuant to
part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such
interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the followings.
• Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
• Relocate the Microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
• Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver
are on different branch circuits.
THE MANUFACTURER is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by
UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility of
the user to correct such interference.
WARNING:
Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.
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, and either :
(1) 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.
or
(2) Do not use an extension cord, if the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING:
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord under any circumstances.

INSTALLATION
1
Examine the oven after unpacking. Check for damage such as a misaligned door, broken door
or dent in the cavity.
If any damage is visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify your dealer immediately.
2
Level, flat location. Install the microwave oven on a level, flat surface.
3
Ventilation. Do not block air vents. If they are blocked during operation, the oven may overheat
and eventually cause a failure. For proper ventilation, allow 4 inches of space between oven top,
sides, rear and adjacent surfaces.
4
Away from radio and TV sets. Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the
oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna, feeder, etc. Place the oven as far from them as
possible.
5
Away from heating appliances and water taps. Keep the oven away from heat, steam or
splashing liquids. These things can adversely affect oven wiring and contacts.
6
Power supply. This microwave oven requires a power supply of approximately 13 Amperes,
120 Volts, 60Hz and a grounded outlet. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the
user becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer cord sets or extension cords
are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the oven.
The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. The longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the table top or counter where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
7
The minimum height of free space necessary above the top surface of the oven is 4 inchs.
When use 3-pronged plug When use grounding adaptor, make sure
the receptacle box is fully grounded.
