that is properly installed and grounded.

risk of electric shock. Consult a qualied electrician or serviceman
if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly
grounded.

have a qualied electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the
microwave oven.
