SAFETY

Important Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electr ical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical curr e nt. This appliance is equipped with a cord that inc lu des a grounding wire and a grounding plu g. The plug must be plugged into an outle t that is properly installed and grounded. Plug the three-pron g 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 th e grou ndin g pl ug ca n resu lt in a r isk of elec tric shock . Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if you do not underst and the grounding ins tr uc t io ns or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

Use of Extension Cords

A short power - sup ply co rd is prov ided to red uce th e risk of beco min g enta ng led 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 electric al rating of the cord set or extensio n co r d s ho ul d be at

least as great as the electrica l rating of the ap pliance.

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 wher e it ca n be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally. If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flic ker and the blower may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.

WARNING

Do not cut or remove the thi r d (ground) prong from the power cord under any circum stances.
