Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the eventof an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.This appliance 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.
WARNING- ofthe grounding plug can result in
a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman ifthe grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Use of an extension cord is not recommended, but if it is absolutely necessary
to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a3 slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extensioncord shall beequal to or greater than the
electrical rating of the appliance.
Where an electrical wall receptacleis encountered which will accept only a two-
prong plug, it is the personal responsibility andobligationof the owner to
contact a qualified electrician and have the outlet replaced with a properly
grounded and polarized receptaclefora three-prong,grounding plug.
Such receptaclemust also meet localelectrical codes, ifapplicable, and/or the
National Electrical Code.
Iflocal codespermit, a temporary connection may bemadeto a properly
grounded and polarized, two-hole outlet using anadapter. Note, however, that
attaching the adapter grounding terminal to the outlet cover screw will not
ground the oven unless the outlet itself is grounded through the house wiring.
Proper grounding and polarization forthe use ofa temporary adapter arethe
personal responsibility and obligation oftheowner
•IMPORTANT
The above grounding instructions must be followed not only for your
personal protection against shock and firehazards, but alsoto insure
satisfactory operation of the electronic controls. In addition to proper
grounding, a polarity check of the outlet should be made to insure that
polarity is not reversed.Improper grounding or reversed polarity can
damage the electronic control or cause it to operate erratically.
