SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This 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. 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. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the oven. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the oven.

• A short 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 set or extension cord is used:
  • The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the oven.
  • The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
  • The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

RADIO INTERFERENCE

1. Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment.
2. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:
   • Clean the door and the sealing surface of the oven.
   • Reorient the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
   • Relocate the oven with respect to the receiver.
   • Move the oven away from the receiver.
   • Plug the oven into a different outlet so that the oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.
