ADAPTER PLUGS

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 two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
before using the appliance.

Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use.

TEMPORARY
METHOD

Align large
prongs/slots

(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)

EXTENSION CORDS

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—

The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of
the appliance;

The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord and it must be plugged into a 3-slot outlet;

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.
