Getting Started

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.

Grounding Instructions

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:

1. If you have any questions about the grounding or

electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or

service person.

2. Neither Viking Range, LLC 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.
