Grounding Instructions
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 rating 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.
