Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of the user becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord. If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and
a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked
electrical rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than
the rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so it does
not drape over the table top or counter when children can pull on it or trip
over it.
Alternately, do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short,
have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
Using an Adapter
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend against the use of
an adapter plug. However, if you choose to use an adapter, where local codes
may permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly grounded two
prong wall outlet by the use of a cUL/CSA listed adapter, which is available
at most hardware stores.
GENERAL USE
Arcing
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. If you see arcing, press
the Stop/Clear pad immediately and correct the problem. Arcing is caused
by the following:
1. Metal or foil touching the side of the microwave
2. Upturned edges of foil not wrapped around the food
3. Metals in the microwave such as twist ties, meat pins or metal
rimmed dishes
4. Recycled paper towels
