Use of Adapter Plugs

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected infrequently.

Because of

 

potential safety

 

h=ards under

 

certain

 

conditions,

 

we strongly

recommend

 

against the use

 

of an adapter

 

plug. However,

nd

if you still

elect to use an

adauter, where

 

loc~l codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) which is available at most local hardware stores.

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

Use of Extension Cords

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

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

If a long cord or extension cord is used—

1The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be a~least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;

Caution: Attaching the adapter ground terrnind to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall 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 terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord wi~ be disconnected frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent disconnection of the power cord Dlaces undue strain on the adaDter and leads to ~ventud failure of the ada~ter’ground terminal. You should have the two-prong wafi receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

2.The extension cord must be a grounding-type

3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet;

3.The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can b-e pulled on by childre-n or tripped over unintentionally.

If you use an extension cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower sound may vary when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer, too.
