instructions Electric Shock Hazard Touching some of the in- ternal components can cause serious personal in- jury or death. Do not disas- semble this appliance. Electric Shock Hazard Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not plug into an outlet until appli- ance is properly installed and grounded. Three-pronged (ground- ing) plug This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an es- cape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding in- structions are not completely un- derstood 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-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot recep- tacle 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 ap- pliance.

• A short power-supply cord is pro- vided 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 cared is exercised in their use.

• If a long cord sets or extension cord is used:8 / 39 EN Microwave Oven / User Manual

Important safety and environmental instructions

i. The marked electrical rating

of the cord set or extension marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the ap- pliance.

ii. The extension cord must be a

grounding-type 3-wire cord; and

iii. The longer cord should be ar-

ranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or table- top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over un- intentionally.
