SAFETY
Important Grounding Instructions
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. 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 beco ming 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 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
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.
