vice technician.
C. Electrical requirements
IMPORTANT:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR'S USE
A. This appliance must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on
nameplate. Models rated at 15 KW on 240 volts (11.25 KW on 208V) or more require a separate 50 amp cir-
cuit. Models rated less than 15KW on 240 volts (11.25
KW on 208V) require a separate 40 ampere circuit. Fuse both sides of the line. DO NOT fuse the neutral.
A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended. Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the Na-
tional Electrical Code and/or local codes and or- dinances for the kilowatt rating of the range. The
nameplate is located on the front frame behind the microwave oven door.
NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance
with National Electrical Code and local codes and or- dinances. Do not use an extension cord.
B. The appliance should be connected to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible ar-
mored or non-metallic sheathed cable. The flexible ar- mored cable extending from the appliance should be
connected directly to the junction box. The junction box should be located as shown in Figure 1 on page 2 so that as much siack as possible remains in the cable between the box and the appliance so that it can be moved if servicing is necessary.
C. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach the flexible armored cable to the junction box.

TO REMOVE OVEN DOOR (NON-SELF-CLEANING MODELS)
Removing the oven door may make it easier to clean
the oven. To remove the door, first open it to the first
stop (about 4 inches or 10 cm). Take hold of both sides of the door near the top; then lift it at the same
\
angle it is in.
With the door off, you will notice how the ends of hinges slide into slots at the bottom corners of the
door. To put the door back on, fit both corners of the door over the ends of the hinges. Push the door
down evenly, so neither corner gets ahead of the other. When it reaches the bottom, you can close the door. A safety latch will hold the door open until it is on correctly.
Pull straight wilh lhe

Check operation
Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is equipped with copper lead wires.
If connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only special connectors which are approved for join-
ing copper and aluminum wires in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and or-
dinances. This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral power supply wire and a frame connected green ground wire twisted together.
If local codes permit connection of the frame grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire, con- nect the green and white wire from the supply cable of the appliance together and the neutral (white) wire in the junction box. Connect the remaining wires from
the supply cable to the wires in the junction box. See
Figure 3.
If local codes DO NOT permit frame grounding to the neutral, separate the white and green wires that extend
out of the end of the supply cable of the appliance. See
Figure 5. Connect the white wire from the supply cable
to the neutral wire in the junction box. Connect the
black and red wires from the supply cable, to the cor- responding wires in the junction box. The green wire
must now be used to ground the appliance in accord- ance with local electrical codes. Connect the green colored copper ground wire to a grounded cold water
pipe* (see Figure 4) or to the grounded lead in the ser- vice panel. Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. Do not connect to electric power supply until appliance is permanent-
ly grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on the power. (See Figure 4.)

responding wires in the junction box. Connect the
green wire from the supply cable to the ground wire in the junction box. (See Figure 5.)
