LG Microwave Ovens are designed to operate via a standard, 120V/60Hz household outlet. Be sure the circuit is at least 15A or 20A, and that the microwave is the only appliance on the circuit. Our units are not designed for 50Hz, or a circuit other than a 120V/60Hz circuit.
LG microwave ovens must be grounded! If an electrical short circuit occurs, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape-wire for the electrical current. The appliance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounded wire and grounded plug. Make sure to insert the plug into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
If you do not understand these grounding instructions, or wonder whether or not the appliance is properly grounded, ask a qualified technician. If you use the grounding plug improperly, you risk electric shock.
