GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

■  

For all cord connected appliances:

 The microwave oven 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. The microwave 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.

WARNING: 

Improper use of the grounding plug can 

result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified 
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions 
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to 
whether the microwave oven is properly grounded. 

■  

For a permanently connected appliance:

 This appliance must be connected to a grounded, 
 metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment 
 grounding conductor should be run with the circuit 
 conductors and connected to the equipment 
 grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord 
is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman 
install an outlet near the microwave oven.
