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

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 plutg 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.
