CAUTION
Injury due to electric shock.
Touching the elements of the electrical circuits inside the microwave oven can lead to serious trauma and injury from
electric shock. Do not take apart the microwave oven yourself.
Grounding the Microwave Oven
The microwave oven should be properly grounded. In case of any kind of short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock, as the current will flow through the ground wire.
The microwave oven uses a power cord with ground wire and a grounded plug. The plug should be connected to an
electrical outlet that also has a ground contact.
WARNING: Connecting a grounded plug to an un grounded outlet can lead to electric shock.
Consult with a qualified electrician if you do not understand these grounding instructions or if you are not sure that
the microwave oven is properly grounded.
•
In order to avoid confusion, the microwave oven is equipped with a short power cord.
• If an extension cord is necessary, only use a 3 wire extensions cord with ground contacts on the power plug and
outlet(s).
• The sectional markings on the microwave oven's power cord should match those on the extension cord.
• The extension cord should not hang off the edge of the table where children can pull on it; it should be placed
where it will not be walked on.
