Important 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.
WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
Three-pronged (grounding) plug
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 20 amp.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the oven be provided.
The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
Properly polarized and grounded outlet
Power Supply Cord
- 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 long cord or extension cord is used:
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b) The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
Notes:
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or service person.
Neither manufacturer nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
