SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be
grounded and plug must not be altered.
Oven MUST be grounded .
Grounding reduces risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current if an electrical
short occurs. This oven is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded. See Installation
Instructions.
Consult a qualied electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord . If the product power
cord is too short, have
a qualied electrician install a
three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a
separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical ratting as
shown in specications table. When the oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking times
may be required and fuses can be blown.
Microwave operates on standard household current, 110-
120V.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be
disconnected infrequently:
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
recommend against the use of an adapter plug. If you
still choose to use an adapter (where local codes permit), a
temporary connection can be made to a properly
grounded 2-prong wall receptacle using a UL listed adapter,
available at most hardware stores.
Have the circuit checked by a qualied electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. Otherwise, the
adapter ground terminal may break with repeated use.
Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a
proper ground has agai
n been established.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be
disconnected frequently:
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations. Frequent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the
adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. Have a qualied electrician replace the 2-prong
wall receptacle with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle
before using the appliance.
If you see arcing, press STOP and correct the problem.
Arcing is the term for sparks in your microwave oven. Arcing
is caused by:
Incorrect installation of the metal shelf so that it is
touching the microwave wall.
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
Use of foil which is not mol
ded to the food. (The edges
act as antennas).
Other metals, such a twist ties, poultry pins or metallic-
rimmed dishes, in the microwave.
Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces
used in the oven.
CAUTION
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
