A. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape route for the electric current. The
power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-
prong (grounding) plug to minimize the possibility of
electric shock hazard from this appliance. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
WARNING
– Improper use of the
grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third ground prong from the power cord plug.
The consumer should have it checked by a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded. Where a
standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is
the responsibility and obligation of the consumer to
have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle.
a) If customer has two-prong wall receptacle, he should
replace it with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle
by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
b) Use of extension cords: If it is necessary to use an
extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle
that will accept the plug on the appliance. The
marked rating of the extension cord should be equal
to or greater than the electrical rating of the
appliance.
NOTE:
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. 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 (3) the longer
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over accidentally.
B. CIRCUITS
For safety purposes this oven must be plugged into a
20 Amp circuit. No other electrical
appliances or lighting circuits should be on this line. If in
doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
C. VOLTAGE WARNING
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the
same as specified on the oven serial plate located on
the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven.
Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may result in
a fire or other type of accident causing oven damage.
Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In case your
microwave oven does not perform normal operation in
accordance with AC power source and voltage, remove
the power cord and then insert it again.
D. PLACEMENT OF THE OVEN
Your microwave oven can easily be placed in your
kitchen, family room or any other room in your home.
Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen
counter top or a specially designed microwave oven
cart. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range.
Free air flow around the oven is important.
E. DO NOT BLOCK AIR VENTS
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air
vents are covered during oven operation the oven may
overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety device
automatically turns the oven off. The oven will be
inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
F. RADIO INTERFERENCE
1. Operation of the microwave oven can cause
interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or
eliminated by taking the following measures:
a. Clean door and sealing surfaces of the oven
b. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or
television.
c. Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the
receiver.
d. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
e. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so
that microwave oven and receiver are on different
branch circuits.
