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.

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.
