ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The oven is designed to operate on a Standard
120V/60Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at
least 15A or 20A and the microwave oven is the only
appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50Hz
or any circuit other than a 120V/60Hz circuit.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If an electrical short
circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The cord for this appliance has a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. Put the plug into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
If you use the grounding plug
improperly, you risk electric shock.
Ask a qualified electrician if you do not understand the
grounding instructions or if you wonder whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a
short power-supply cord. See the separate Installation
Instructions for directions on properly placing the cord.
Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or
crush it in any way.
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.
For a permanently connected appliance:
This appliance 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 appliance.
