4 PRE‑INSTALLATION
This section outlines the actions that should be taken before installing the microwave.
4.1 Preparing for installation
The following subsections describe the checks that must be completed before installing the product.
Pre‑installation checklist
Use the following checklist to ensure that the unit is ready to be installed:
➤ Ensure that all of the packing materials are removed from the inside of the door.
➤ Check the microwave for any damage, such as a misaligned or bent door, damaged door seals and sealing
surfaces, broken or loose door hinges and latches, and dents inside the cavity or on the door. If there is any
damage, do not operate the oven and contact a qualified service technician.
➤ Ensure that the power supply cord is undamaged.
Electrical requirements
The electrical requirements for this appliance require the use of a 120 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 20 A circuit. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only the microwave be provided.
Power supply cord
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE, AND/OR EXPLOSION HAZARD. Failure to obey the following
warnings can result in dangerous operation, property damage, serious injury, or death:
• The power supply cord must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
• 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.
• 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 an extension cord should not be used.
– The 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.
• If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the
appliance.
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.
Neither the 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.
Radio or TV interference
Should there be any interference to your radio or TV caused by the microwave, check that the microwave oven
is on a different circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave as feasible, or check the position
and signal of the receiving antenna.
