Installation Guide

11
The installer must perform a ground continuity check on the power outlet box
before beginning the installation to ensure that the outlet box is properly
grounded. A qualified electrician should be employed to correct any
deficiencies.
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.
• Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, have it
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle by a
qualified electrician.
WARNING:
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut, deform, or remove any of the
prongs from the power cord.
• 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.
• 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.
