Grounding
instructions
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 qualified 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 qualified electrician install a
three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into
a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as
shown in specifications 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.
This equipment generates and uses ISM frequency energy
and if not installed and used properly, that is in strict
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause
interference to radio and television reception. It has been type
tested and found to comply with limits for ISM Equipment
pursuant to part 18 of FCC Rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against such interference in a
residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following:
*Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
,, Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
,, Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
*Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that the
microwave oven and the receiver are on different branch
circuits.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or
television interference caused by unauthorized
modification to this microwave oven. It is the responsibility
of the user to correct such interference.
