the service center requires the complete model
number of your microwave oven. The model number
is on the oven front as shown in the illustration below.

Electrical Requirements
The oven is designed to operate on a Standard 120
V/60 Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at
least 15 A or 20 A and the microwave oven is the only
appliance on the circuit. It is not designed for 50 Hz
or any circuit other than a 120 V/60 Hz circuit.
Voltage Warning
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the
same as specified on the oven name plate located
on the back or on the side of the control panel of the
oven. Use of a higher voltage is dangerous and may
result in a fire or other type of accident causing oven
damage. Low voltage will cause slow cooking. In
case your microwave oven does not perform normally
in spite of proper voltage, remove and reinsert the
plug.
Placement of the Oven
Your microwave oven can be placed easily in your
kitchen, family room, or anywhere else in your home.
Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen
countertop or a specially designed microwave oven
cart. Do not place oven above a gas or electric range.
Free air flow around the oven is important. Allow at
least 4 inches of space at the top, sides, and back of
the oven for proper ventilation.
Do not block the air vents
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If
air vents are covered during oven operation the oven
may overheat. In this case, a sensitive thermal safety
device automatically turns the oven off. The oven will
be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently.
Grounding Instructions
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.
WARNING
•
Improper use of the grounding can result in
a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the
grounding instructions 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 marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or
greater than the electrical rating of the appliance, or. . . .
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician or service person
install an outlet near the appliance. A short power supply
cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked
electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be
at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, (2)
the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord,
and (3) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
See the separate Installation Instructions for directions on
placing the cord properly.
Ensure proper ground
exists before use
Keep the electrical power cord dry and do not pinch
or crush it in any way.
