GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 microwave 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.
Notes:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electri-
cian or service person.
2. Neither DCS nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the microwave 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
microwave oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
