Important Safety Instructions Grounding Instructions WARNING To avoid risk of electrical shock or death, this oven must be grounded and plug must not be altered. Oven MUST be grounded . Grounding reduces risk of electric shock by 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. Consult a quali ed 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 quali ed electrician install a three-slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical ratting as shown in speci cations 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, 110120V. Arcing If you see arcing, press STOP and correct the problem. Arcing is the term for sparks in your microwave oven. Arcing is caused by: Incorrect installation of the metal shelf so that it is touching the microwave wall. Metal or foil touching the side of the oven. Use of foil which is not molded to the food. (The edges act as antennas). Other metals, such a twist ties, poultry pins or metallicrimmed dishes, in the microwave. Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces used in the oven. Adapter Plugs CAUTION Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently: Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. If you still choose to use an adapter (where local codes permit), a temporary connection can be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle using a UL listed adapter, available at most hardware stores. Have the circuit checked by a quali ed electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded. When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. Otherwise, the adapter ground terminal may break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established. Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected frequently: Do not use an adapter plug in these situations. Frequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. Have a quali ed electrician replace the 2-prong wall receptacle with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle before using the appliance. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 4
