IMPORTANTGROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance must be grounded. Intheevent of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by

providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance isequipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire

and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet d standard 115-120 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this

circuit.

WARNING

Improper use d the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer

cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. Ifa long cord or extension cord is

used:

1. The marked electrical rating ofthe cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet.

3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top ortabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.

WARNING
