If not properly grounded, or if the outlet box does not meet the electrical
requirements noted, (under ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS), a
qualified electrician should be employed to correct any deficiencies.

Electrical Requirements

Product rating is 120 volts AC, 60Hertz, 15 amps, and 1600 ~1700 watts.
This product must be connected to a supply circuit of the proper voltage
and frequency. Wire size must conform to the requirements of the National
Electric Code or the prevailing local code for this kilowatt rating. The
power supply cord and plug should be brought to a separate 20ampere
branch circuit single grounded receptacle. The outlet box should be located
near the cord entry point. The outlet box and supply circuit should be
installed by a qualified electrician and conform to the National Electric
Code or the prevailing local code.

Power supply cord
a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from

becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

b) Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if

care is exercised in their use.

c) 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 unintentionally.

This over-the-range oven was designed for use over ranges no wider
than 30inches. It may be installed over both gas and electric cooking
equipment.

Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of the 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 serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded, and either:

1) 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.
2) If the power supply cord is too

short, have a qualified
electrician or serviceman
install an outlet near the
appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTION

Never operate the oven when it is empty or without the glass turntable.
