GROUNDING THE UNIT
This appliance must be grounded. This microwave oven is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. It must be
plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces 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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. or more
protected electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only
this appliance 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.
Should you only have a 2-prong outlet, have a qualified electrician install a correct
wall receptacle. A 3-prong adapter may be purchased and used temporarily
if local codes allow. Follow package directions. A short power-supply cord is
provided to reduce risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
EXTENSION CORD
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 microwave oven. The marked rating of the extension cord should be AC 115-
120 volt, 15 amp. or more. Be careful not to drape the cord over the countertop
or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
NOTE: If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions,
consult a qualified electrician or service person. Nostalgia Electrics™ cannot
accept any liability for damage to the oven or personal injury resulting
from failure to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.
RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to
your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a different
electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the oven
as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
