To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven
mustbe grounded.
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, do not alter
the plug.
Thisoven MUST be grounded. Intheevent of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electriccurrent.Thisovenisequippedwithacordhaving
agroundingwirewitha grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded.
Consultaqualified 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
shownin the appropriate drawing. Whenamicrowave
oven is on a circuit with other equipment, an increase in
cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.

Cet appareil DOIT être relié à la terre. En cas de court-
circuit, la mise à la terre réduit les risques d’électrocution
en permettant au courant électrique de passer par un fil.
Ce four est muni d’un cordon équipé d’un fil de mise à la
terre avec une fiche de mise à la terre. La fiche doit être
branchée dans une prise correctement installée et mise
à la terre.

Ne pas utiliser de rallonge. Si le cordon d’alimentation de
l’appareil est trop court, demander à un électricien
d’installer une prise de courant à trois trous. Ce four doit
être branché sur un circuit indépendant de 60 Hz dont la
puissance nominale est indiquée sur l’illustration

Radio Interference
Microwaveoperation may cause interference to radio,
television,orsimilarequipment.Reduce or eliminate
interferenceby doing the following:
• Cleandoorand sealing surfaces of oven according to
instructionsin “Care and Cleaning” section.
• Place radio, television, etc. as far as possible
fromoven.
• Useaproperlyinstalledantenna on radio, television,
etc. to obtain stronger signal reception.

9
Oven Placement
• Do not install oven next to or above source of heat,
such as pizza oven or deep fat fryer. This could cause
microwaveoven to operateimproperlyand could
shorten life of electrical parts.
• Do not block or obstruct oven filter. Allow access for
cleaning.
• Installoven on level countertop surface.
A —Allow at least 1 ½ " (3.81 cm) of clearance around top and
sides of oven. Proper air flow around oven cools electrical
components. With restricted air flow, oven may not operate
properly and life of electrical parts is reduced.
