WARNING

- Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Because this appliance fits under the cabinet, it has a short power-supply cord. Do not use an extension cord.

If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service person install an outlet near the appliance. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

See the separate Installation Instructions for directions on placing the cord properly.

Ensure proper ground exists before use

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

The oven is designed to operate on a Standard

120 V/60 Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at least 15 A or 20 A and the microwave oven is the only appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50 Hz or any circuit other than a 120 V/60 Hz circuit.

Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch or crush it in any way.
