Important Safety Information
Grounding Instructions
Usage situations where appliance’s
power cord will be disconnected
infrequently.
Because of potential safety hazards
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
CONNECTION may be made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall
receptacle by the use of a UL listed
adapter 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: Attaching the adapter
ground terminal 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 will be disconnected
frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these
situations because frequent
disconnection of the power cord
places undue strain on the adapter
and leads to eventual failure of the
adapter ground terminal. You should
have the 2-prong wall receptacle
replaced with a 3-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician
before using the appliance.
Use of Adapter Plugs
TEMPORARY METHOD
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use
Align large
prongs/slots
(Adapter plugs not permitted
in Canada)
A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if you
are careful in using them.
If an extension cord is used—
1 The marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of 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 extension cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by
children 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.
