3. Electrical requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordi-
nances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15
or 20 amp fused electrical supply is
required.
(Time-delay fuse is recommended.) It
is recommended that a separate circuit
serving only this appliance be provided.
,.GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
5. For your personal safety, this appliance
must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric
current. This appliance is equipped with
a polarized 3-prong grounding plug.
It must be plugged into a correctly
polarized mating 3-prong grounding
type wall receptacle, properly installed
and grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local
codes and ordinances. If a mating wall
receptacle is not available or if you
are not sure if the wall receptacle is
properly grounded and polarized, have
it checked by a qualified electrician.

It is the personal responsibility and obliga-
tion of the customer to have a properly
grounded and correctly polarized 3-prong
wall receptac]e installed by a qualified
electrician.
Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the appliance is properly grounded.
It is not recommended to use an
extension cord with your microwave
oven, but if you find it necessary to
do so temporarily (until a properly
grounded and polarized, 3-prong
receptacle is installed), use only a
heavy duty, UL listed, 3-wire grounding
type extension cord containing three 16-
gauge (minimum) copper wires. It must
not be longer than 10 feet (cords longer
than 10 feet may affect the cooking perfor-
mance of your microwave oven). The plug
on the extension cord must fit into a 3-prong
grounding type wall receptacle (as shown
on this page) and the receptacle end of the
extension cord must accept the 3-prong
grounding plug of the microwave oven.
