MPORTANT GROUNDING
NSTRUCTIONS
I
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This
appliance is equipped 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 of standard 115-120
voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this
circuit.
WARNING
Improper use of 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. If a long cord or extension cord is
used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the 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 or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over accidenta lly. If you use an exten sion
cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower may vary
when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be
longer, too.

AVE
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord under any circumstances.
Note
Connect the oven to a 20A circuit . When connecting
the oven to a 15A circuit, make sure that circuit
breaker is operable.
