front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

Amana dealer immediately. You will be told if the unit
will operate correctly.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
INSURE PROPER GROUND
EXISTS BEFORE USING.
This appliance 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 appliance 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. DO NOT
use a two-prong adaptor.
A WARNING - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock or death.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instruc­
tions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension
cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
The extension cord must be rated at a minimum of 15 amps, 120 volts,
and should be no more than six feet in length. This oven should be
plugged into a separate 120 volt. 15 amp. 60 hertz circuit. When a
microwave oven is on a circuit with other appliances, an increase in
cooking times may be required and fuses can be blown.
OVEN PLACEMENT
=
DO NOT build the oven in with the sides, top or
bottom airflow restricted. The oven must have
sufficient airflow around it. If you wish to build in this
microwave oven, use
ONLY Amana model “RS”
