Installation and GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

Placement of the Oven

Locate the oven on a smooth, flat and stable surface. There should be no gap between the table surface and the bottom of the oven. Do not place the oven in a hot or damp area, ie. near a stove, sink or directly above heat lamps on a serving line. Free airflow around the oven is important. There is a possibility of a small amount of interference with weak broadcast signals if the microwave oven is too close to a radio or TV.

Grounding Instructions

This oven must be grounded electrically. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The appliance 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.

WARNING — improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly connected.

If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that has a three blade grounding plug, and a three slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the oven.

Protective Film Removal

A blue protective film is used to prevent scratching of the outer case during transportation. Peel the film from the exterior of the oven before installation or use.

Wiring Requirements

No other appliance should share the circuit with the microwave oven. If it does, the branch circuit fuse may overload and either cause the oven to heat slower than expected or blow the fuse.

A.For Models No. NE-12521/NE-12523

The oven must be on a SEPARATE, 20 amp, 60 Hz-120 V GROUNDED CIRCUIT.

Power Source Voltage Adjustment

Models No. NE-17521/NE-17523/NE-17723/NE-21521/NE-21523

The microwave automatically detects 208 V and 230 V–240 V. Insert the plug, and if the Digital Display Window goes blank 10 seconds after use, unplug and insert the plug again.

How Does The Microwave Work?

Microwaves are a form of high frequency radio waves similar to those used by a radio including AM, FM, and CB. They are, however, much shorter than radio waves. Electricity is converted into microwave energy by the magnetron tube. From the magnetron tube, microwave energy is transmitted to the oven cavity where it is: reflected, transmitted and absorbed.

Reflection

Microwave are reflected by metal just as a ball is bounced off a wall. A combination of stationary (interior walls) and rotating antenna, located underneath the bottom shelf and above the ceiling cover assure that the microwaves are well distributed within the oven cavity to produce even heating or cooking of foods.

Transmission

Microwave pass through some materials such as paper, glass and plastic much like sunlight shining through a window. Because these substances do not absorb or reflect the microwave energy, they are ideal materials for microwave oven heating containers when covered.

Absorption

During heating, microwaves will be absorbed by food. They penetrate to a depth of about 3⁄4 to 11⁄2 inches. Microwave energy excites the molecules in the food (especially water, fat and sugar molecules), and causes them to vibrate at a rate of 2,450,000,000 times per second. This vibration causes friction, and heat is produced just as you will feel heat produced if you vigorously rub your hands together. The internal heating of larger foods is done by conduction. The heat which is produced by friction is conducted to the center of the food. Foods also continue to heat by conduction during standing time. (“carry-over” cooking)

Because microwave dissipate, much like sunlight as it reaches the Earth’s surface, they are not stored in food.

Radio Inference

1.Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment.

2.When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:

a.Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven. (See Care of Your Microwave Oven found on page 22.)

b.Place the radio, TV, etc. away from the microwave oven as far as possible.

c.Use a properly installed antenna, on the radio to obtain stronger signal reception.
