GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For all cord-connected appliances:
This appliance must be grounded. Grounding reduces
risk of electric shock by providing a safe pathway for
electric current in the event of a short circuit.
If 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. See
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three–
slot receptacle. This oven should be plugged into a
separate 60 Hertz circuit with the electrical rating as
shown in specifications table. When the oven is on a
circuit with other equipment, an increase in cooking
times may be required and fuses can be blown.
