DANGER
Electric Shock Hazard
•
Touching some of the
internal components
can cause serious
personal injury or
death. Do not
disassemble
this appliance.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard
•
Improper use of the
grounding plug can
result in electric
shock. Do not plug
into an outlet until
appliance is properly
installed and
grounded.
Properly polarized and
grounded outlet
Three-pronged
(grounding) plug
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This appliance is
equipped with a cord that has a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
Where standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is your personal respon sibilit y
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle.
Do not under any circumstance cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.
Consult a qual ified elect rician or serviceman i f the
grounding instr uctions are not completely
understood or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary
to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord tha t has a 3-p ronged grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the appliance .
•
A short power-supply cord is prov ided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or trippi ng over a longer cord.
•
Longer cord sets or extension cords may be
used if care is exercised in their use.
•
If a long cord or extension cord i s used: 1) The
marked electrica l rat ing of the cord set or
extension cord s hould be at l east as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance. 2) The
extension cord must be a grounding-type 3wire cord, and 3) The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE:
If your electric power line or outlet
voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times
may be longer. Have a qualified electrician
check your electrical system.

Microwave ovens generate radio frequency energy during oper ation and
if not installed properly may cause interfer ence to radio and television
reception. You can determine if this unit is causing interference by turning
it on and off while the interference is occurring. If interference occurs, it
may be corrected by one or more of the following measures:
• clean door and seal surfaces of the oven.
• reorient the television or r a dio rec eiving antenna.
• relocate the oven with respect to the television or radio receiver.
• plug the oven into a different outlet so that it, and the television or
radio receiver, are on different circuits.
