not use an adapter plug in these
situations because disconnecting 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
prong (grounding) receptacle by a
qualified electrician before using
the appliance.
Use of
Cords
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, 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
accept the plug on the appliance.
The marked rating of the extension
cord shall be equal to or greater
than the electrical rating of the
appliance (15 amperes).
If you do use an extension cord
with your microwave oven, the
interior light may flicker and the
blower sound may vary when oven
is in use. Cook times may be
as well.
