To request service information or replacement parts, the service center will require the complete model number of your microwave oven. The number is on the oven front as shown in the illustration below.
MODEL NUMBER LABEL
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.
WARNING - 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 placing the cord properly. 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.
