WARNING: Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of elec-
tric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson if the grounding
instructions completely understand, or if doubt exist as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
WARNING:Do not cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord under any circumstances.
Preferred method of grounding
Plug the three-prong power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard
AC 230 voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this circuit.
Using an adapter
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes may permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a
UL/CSA-listed adapter, which is available at most hardware stores.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of 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.
Use of Extension Cords
Ashort power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used-
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into
a 3-slot outlet.
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower may vary when
the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.
