A. EXAMINE OVEN
Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as
misaligned door, damage around the door or dents inside the oven or on the exterior. If there is
any damage, please do not operate the unit until it has been checked by an authorized service
technician and any repairs made.

ENSURE PROPER GROUND EXISTS
BEFORE USE
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a polarized 3-prong grounding plug. It must
be plugged into a correctly polarized mating 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle,
properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating
wall receptacle is not available or if you are not sure if the wall receptacle is properly
grounded and polarized, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded
and correctly polarized 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
It is not recommended to use an extension cord with your microwave oven, but if you
find it necessary to do so temporarily (until a properly grounded and polarized 3-prong
receptacle is installed), use only a heavy duty UL listed 3-wire grounding type exten-
sion cord containing three 16-gauge (minimum) copper wires. It must not be longer than
10 feet (cords longer than 10 feet may affect the cooking performance of your microwave
oven). The plug on the extension cord must fit into a 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle
(as shown on this page) and the receptacle end of the extension cord must accept the
3-prong grounding plug of the microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord
should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
