IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONGROUNDING INSTRUCTIONSUsage situations whereappliance’s power cord willbe disconnected infrequently.Because of potential safetyhazards under certainconditions, we stronglyrecommend against theuse of an adapter plug.However, if you still electto use an adapter, wherelocal codes permit, aTEMPORARYCONNECTION maybe made to a properlygrounded two-prong wallreceptacle by the use of aUL listed adapter which isavailable at most localhardware stores.The larger slot in theadapter must be alignedwith the larger slot in thewall receptacle to provideproper polarity in theconnection of the powercord.CAUTION: Attaching theadapter ground terminalto the wall receptacle coverscrew does not ground theappliance unless the coverscrew is metal, and notinsulated, and the wallreceptacle is groundedthrough the house wiring.You should have thecircuit checked by aqualified electrician tomake sure the receptacleis properly grounded.When disconnecting thepower cord from theadapter, always hold theadapter with one hand. Ifthis is not done, the adapterground terminal is verylikely to break with repeateduse. Should this happen,DO NOT USE the applianceuntil a proper ground hasagain been established.Usage situations whereappliance’s power cord willbe disconnected frequently.Do not use an adapter plugin these situations becausefrequent disconnection ofthe power cord placesundue strain on the adapterand leads to eventual failureof the adapter groundterminal. You should havethe two-prong wallreceptacle replaced with athree-prong (grounding)receptacle by a qualifiedelectrician before usingthe appliance.ADAPTER PLUGSA short power supply cord isprovided to reduce the risksresulting from becomingentangled in or tripping overa longer cord.Extension cords may be usedif you are careful in usingthem.If an extension cord is used—1 The marked electricalrating of the extensioncord should be at least asgreat as the electricalrating of the appliance;2 The extension cord mustbe a grounding-type 3-wirecord and it must beplugged into a 3-slotoutlet;3 The extension cordshould be arranged so thatit will not drape over thecounter top or tabletopwhere it can be pulled onby children or trippedover unintentionally.If you use an extension cord,the interior light may flickerand the blower sound mayvary when the microwaveoven is on.
