GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven 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. The 
microwave oven 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 plug
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely 
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the 
microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply
cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or 
serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.
For a permanently connected appliance:
The microwave oven must be connected to a
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or 
an equipment grounding conductor should be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the 
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the
microwave oven.
