unpacking the oven. Do not let children play with the packing material. Do not modify the oven
(e.g., remove panels, wire covers, screws).
Grounding the Microwave In-A-Drawer™
The microwave has a 3-prong grounding plug that must be plugged into a grounded outlet.
If only a 2-prong wall outlet is available, the customer shall have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong outlet.
• Do not remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
• Do not use an adapter plug.
• Do not use an extension cord. (If the power cord is too short, have a qualied electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.)
• Do not use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
DANGER—ELECTRIC-SHOCK HAZARD
• To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death; verify your appliance is grounded
according to local codes, or in their absence, with the National Electrical Code (NEC). ANSI/
NFPA 70-latest edition.
• To avoid severe personal injury and possibly death, the electricity must be off while the elec-
trical connections are made.

Important Safety Precautions
WARNING
• Follow the information in this manual exactly to avoid re or electrical shock that may cause
property damage, personal injury, or death.

codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, require a 4-wire branch-circuit con-
nection.

or re. Use only connectors designed for joining copper to aluminum, and follow the manufac-
turer’s recommended procedure closely.
