provided. Using a high voltage is dangerous and may result in a fire or other accident causing oven  
damage.  
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.  
Notes: 1.If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified  
electrician or service person.
