GROUNDING iNSTRUCTiONS
For a permanently connected microwave oven:
The microwave oven must be connected to a grounded,
metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment
grounding conductor should be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the equipment grounding
terminal or lead on the microwave oven.
SAVE THESE iNSTRUCTiONS
If codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is
recommended that a qualified electrical installer determine that
the ground path and wire gauge are in accordance with local
codes.
Check with a qualified electrical installer if you are not sure the
microwave oven is properly grounded.
This microwave oven must be connected to a grounded metal,
permanent wiring system.
Be sure that the electrical connection and wire size are adequate
and in conformance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70-latest edition or CSA Standards C22.1-94, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1 and C22.2 No. O-M91-1atest edition, and

voltage and frequency as specified on the model/serial
number rating plate. The model/serial number rating plate is
located on the left-hand side trim.
A. Model/serial number plate
The microwave oven rated 120/240 volt, 20-amp, has 4 wires
(L1, L2, N and G) in the flex conduit and should be connected
to a 20-amp maximum rated circuit, overcurrent protected on
both the L1 and L2 circuits.
INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
1. Locate existing wiring to avoid drilling into or severing wiring
during installation.
• A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
• Flexible cable from the microwave oven should be connected
directly to the junction box.
• Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for
serviceability of the microwave oven.
• A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided.
• If the house has aluminum wiring follow the procedure below:
1. Connect a section of solid copper wire to the pigtail
leads.
2. Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section of
copper wire using special connectors and/or tools
designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.
Follow the electrical connector manufacturer's recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with
local codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
