Important Safety Instructions
Grounding
Instructions
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be
grounded and plug must not be altered.
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 ratting 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, 110120V.
Arcing
If you see arcing, press STOP and correct the problem.
Arcing is the term for sparks in your microwave oven. Arcing
is caused by:
Adapter Plugs
CAUTION
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be
disconnected infrequently:
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
recommend against the use of an adapter plug. If you
still choose to use an adapter (where local codes permit), a
temporary connection can be made to a properly
grounded 2-prong wall receptacle using a UL listed adapter,
available at most hardware stores.
Have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. Otherwise, the
adapter ground terminal may break with repeated use.
Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a
proper ground has again been established.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be
disconnected frequently:
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations. Frequent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the
adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. Have a qualified electrician replace the 2-prong
wall receptacle with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle
before using the appliance.
y Incorrect installation of the metal shelf so that it is
touching the microwave wall.
y Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
y Use of foil which is not molded to the food. (The edges
act as antennas).
y Other metals, such a twist ties, poultry pins or metallic-
rimmed dishes, in the microwave.
y Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces
used in the oven.

Ÿ Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
Ÿ Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that
the microwave oven and the receiver are on different
branch circuits.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or
television interference caused by unauthorized
modification to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility
of the user to correct such interference.
a. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord.
b. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in
their use.
c. If an extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord set should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3wire cord.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on
unintentionally.
If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker
and the blower sound may vary when the microwave oven
is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.
Radio Interference
1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause
interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
1) Clean door and sealing surface of the oven.
2) Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
3) Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the
receiver.
4) Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
