Located on the side of a rear bench. Open the cover and the fuse descriptions should be there.

I believe the Microwave and refrigerator are on one circuit by themselves. The Air conditioner and Television outlet are also on one circuit by themselves. All the other outlets, where you might plug in a heater, are on the circuit marked “Converter”. (I derived this information from diagrams in the “Owners manual” downloadable elsewhere.)
If the heater plus microwave tripped a breaker it should mean they are on the same circuit, which may indicate wiring mods by a previous owner.

I tripped a breaker using a heater and a toaster in our FD. We Solved the problem by disconnecting the Kitchen GFI outlet from the Converter circuit and connecting it to the Microwave/refrigerator circuit. We do not have a Microwave so that circuit was underutilized.
Hope I’m not creating or adding confusion here.

Thats great information, thank you. I found the circuit breaker box thanks to Eileen, but none of the breakers looked tripped. I went ahead and hooked up the electric from my home and the microwave works. My original blow out occurred when I plugged into the outlet below the AC (ac is located in front next to shower and below the AC). I think you might have figured it out. Maybe previous owner modified something. I sure appreciate you taking time to respond.

Grateful,
Leslie
