SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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—
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 countertop 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.
NOTICE—PACEMAKERS
Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic
products, including microwaves. However, patients with pacemakers
may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY
INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use.
TEMPORARY
METHOD
Align large
prongs/slots
(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)
