This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appli-
ance is equipped with a cord that includes a grounding wire
and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded. Plug the three-prong
power cord into a properly grounded outlet of standard 115-120
voltage, 60 Hz. Your oven should be the only appliance on this
circuit.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or ser-
vicer if you do not understand the grounding instruc-
tions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly
grounded.
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to
use an adapter, where local codes may 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 hardware stores.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use. If a long cord or extension cord
is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or 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 longer 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 accidentally. If you use an extension
cord, the interior light may flicker and the blower may vary
when the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be longer,
too.
WARNING
Do not cut or remove the third (ground)prong from
the power cord under any circumstances.
