This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reducesthe risk of electric shock by providing an escapewire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is prop- erly installed and grounded. (Fig. 1)

WARNING—improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instruc- tions are not completely under- stood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obliga- tion of the customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Becauseof potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use art adapter, where local codes permit, a TEM- PORARYCONNECTION 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.

Caution:Attachingthe adapter groundterminalto the wall recep- tacle coverscrewdoes not ground the applianceunlessthe cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure-the receptacle is prop- erly grounded.

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

Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations becausedisconnecting of the power cord placesundue strain on the adapter and leadsto even- tual failure of the adapterground terminal. The customer should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a quali- fied electrician before using the appliance.

Use d ExtensionCords

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However,if it is necessaryto use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-biade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance (15 amperes.)

Such extension cords are obtainable through General Electric service. It you do use an extensioncordwith your microwaveoven,the interior light may flicker and the blower sound may vary when oven is in use.
