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.

The microwave oven rated 120-/240-volt, 20-amp, has

4 wires (L1, L2, N, and G) in the flex conduit and should be

connected to a 20-amp 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:

1.

Connect a section of solid copper wire to the

pigtail leads.

2.

Connect the aluminum wiring to the added section

of copper wire 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.

For power requirements, refer to the following table:
