GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding

reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WAR NING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Electrical Requirements

The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 20 amp. It is recommended that

a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong

grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and

grounded.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Power Supply Cord

1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in

their use.

3. If long cord or extension cord is used：

a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as

great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

b) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and The longer cord

should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where

it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Notes:

If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified

electrician or service person.

Neither RCA nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury

resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

UTENSILS GUIDE

This section lists which utensils can be used in the microwave, which ones have

limited use for short periods, and which ones should not be used in the microwave.

Recommended

·Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as

steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning

dish.

Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for

some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.

·Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; these

absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper

towels, which may contain metal and could ignite.
