Electrical Connection

To properly install your microwave oven, you must determine the
type of electrical connection you will be using and follow the
instructions provided for it here.

Microwave oven must be connected to the proper electrical
voltage and frequency as specified on the model/serial/rating
plate. The model/serial/rating plate is located underneath the
control panel along the oven vent.

A. Model/serial/rating plate

The microwave oven rated 120/240 V, 20 A, has 4 wires (L1,
L2, N, and G) in the flex conduit, and should be connected to a
20 A maximum-rated circuit, overcurrent protected on both the
L1 and L2 circuits.

A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.

Flexible cable from the microwave oven should be connected
directly to the junction box.

Do not cut the conduit. The length of conduit provided is for
serviceability of the microwave oven.

A UL listed or CSA approved conduit connector must be
provided.

If the house has aluminum wiring, follow the procedure below:

Connect the aluminum wiring using special connectors and/or
tools designed and UL listed for joining copper to aluminum.

Follow the electrical connector manufacturer’s recommended
procedure. Aluminum/copper connection must conform with local
codes and industry accepted wiring practices.
