This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equip@ with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly instiled and groundd. (Fig. 1)

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replacd witi

aproperly grounded three-prong wdl receptacle.

W not under any circumstances cut or remove the third @round) prong from the power cord.

Use of Adapter Pl~

Us~e situations where

appliance’s power cord will be disconnected infrequently.

Because of potential safety haards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a

TEMPORARY CONNE~ION may be made to a properly ~undd two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) which is available at most local hardware stores.

BEFORE USE

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wdl receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

Caution: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wdl receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wdl receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terrnind is very likely to break with repeati use. Should this happen, DO NW USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Us~e situations where

appliance’s power cord will be disconnected frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these

situations because disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have the two-prong wdl receptacle replaced with a three-prong @rounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

Use of=nsion Cords

1.A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2.Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

3.If a long cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should beat 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 countertop or tabletop where it can be paled on by ctidren or tripped over accidentally.

If you do use an extension cord with your microwave oven, the interior light may flicker and tie blower sound may vary when oven is in use. Cook times may be longer as well.
