• Be sure your oven is installed properly by a qualified installer or service technician. • Be sure the oven is securely installed in a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure. Weight on the oven door could cause the oven to tip and result in injury. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door. • Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the oven can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F) generated by the oven. WARNING: The electrical power to the oven supply line must be shut off while line connections are being made. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or death. Electrical Requirements This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as noted on rating plate. (Rating plate is located on the inside wall of the microwave oven.) We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your oven connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main oven disconnect is located. Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your oven must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing: National Fire Protection Association Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269 Effective January 1,1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new, but not existing, construction utilize a four-conductor connection to an electric oven. When installing an electric oven in new construction, a mobile home, recreational vehicle or an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor, follow the instructions in the section on NEW CONSTRUCTION AND FOUR-CONDUCTOR BRANCH CIRCUIT CONNECTION. You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used. 2
