if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

~ See door surface cleaning

instructions on page 30.

● This appliance should be ser- -

viced only by qualfled seMce personnel. Contact nearest authorized service facility for examimtion,

repair or adjustment.

● As with any appliance, close

supervision is necessary when used by-children.

● TO reduce the risk of fire in t

oven cavity

-Do not overcook food. Care-

fully attend appliance if paper,

plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.

-Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

- Do not use your microwave oven to dry newspapers.

—Paper towels and napkins, wax

paper. Recycled paper products

can contain metal flecks which may cause arcing or ignite. Paper products containing nylon or nylon filaments should be avoided, as they may also ignite.

-Do not pop popcorn in your

microwave oven unless in a special

microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

-Do not operate the oven in microwave or combination modes while empty to avoid damage to the oven and the danger of fwe. If

by accident the oven should run empty a minute or two, no harm is done. However, try to avoid

operating the oven empty at all times—it saves energy and prolongs life of the oven.

—If materials inside the oven

(continued)

When using the convection or

combination cooking functions,

both the exterior and interior of oven will become hot. Always use hot pads to remove containers of food or accessories such as oven racks, ceramic oven tray or probe.

c Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers-for example, closed glass jars-may explode and should not be heated in this oven.

● Avoid heating baby food in

glass jars, even without their lids; especially meat and egg mixtures.

o Donl defrost frozen beverages in narrow necked bottles; especially carbomted ones. Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.

● Use metal only as directed in

Cookbook. Metal strips as used on meat roasts are helpful when

used as shown in Cookbook. TV dinners maybe cooked in

metal trays but when using shelf they must be replaced in their box. However, when using metal in microwave oven, keep metal

(except for shelf accessory) at least l-inch away fkom sides of oven.

● Cooking utensils may become

hot because of heat transferred from the heated food. This is especially true if plastic wrap has been covering the top and handles of the utensil. Potholders maybe needed to handle the utensil.

● Sometimes, the oven floor can

become too hot to touch. Be

careful touching the floor during and after cooking.

● Do not use regular cooking or

oven thermometers when cooking by microwave or comb-tion. The metal and mercury in these

thermometers could cause “arcing” and possible damage to oven.

a Remove the temperature probe

from the oven when not using it

to cook with. If you leave the probe inside the oven without inserting it in food or liquid, and turn on microwave energy, it can create electrical arcing in the oven, and damage oven walls.

o Plastic Utensils-Plastic utensils designed for microwave cooking are very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if sub-

jected to short periods of over-

cooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and utensils

could ignite. For these reasons:

1) Use microwave plastics only “and use them” in strict compliance with the utensil manufacturer’s recommendations. 2) Do not subject empty utensils to microwaving. 3) Do not permit , children to use plastic utensils without complete supervision.

o When cooking pork follow our directions exactly and always . cook the meat to at least 17(P. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.

c Boiling eggs (in and out of

shell) is not recommended for

microwave cooking. Pressure can build up inside egg yolk and may cause it to burst, resulting in injury.

~ Foods with unbroken outer

‘skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs

or sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and eggs (see previous caution) should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

Q “Boilable” cooking pouches

and tightly closed plastic bags

should be slit, pierced or vented as directed in Cookbook. If they are not, plastic could burst during or immediately after cooking, possibly resulting in injury. Also, plastic storage containers should beat least partially uncovered because they form a tight seal.

When cooking with containers tightly covered with plastic wrap, remove covering carefully and direct steam away from hands and face.

G Use of the shelf accessory. (See

your Cookbook for proper use.)

- Remove the shelf from oven when not in use.

-Do not store or cook with shelf on floor of oven. Product damage may result.

—Use potholders when handling

the shelf and utensils. They may be hot.

-Do not use microwave brown-

ing dish on shelf. The shelf could overheat. Use of shelf with Automatic Cooking feature is not recommended.

What Your Oven Can Do

Cooking with your new oven offers a wide variety of food preparation options. Microwave cooking uses very short, high frequency radio waves. The movement of the micro-

waves through the food generates heat and cooks most foods faster than conventional methods, while retaining their natural texture and moisture. Microwave cooking heats food directly, not the cooking utensil or the interior of the oven. Reheating is easy and defrosting is particularly convenient because less time is spent in food preparation.

Convection cooking constantly circulates heated air around the food, creating even browning and sealedin flavor by the constant motion of hot air over the food surfaces.

Your new oven also offers the option of combination cooking, using microwave energy along with convection cooking. You cook with speed and accuracy, while browning and crisping to perfection.

You can use microwave cooking, convection cooking or combination cooking to TIME COOK. Simply preset the length of cooking time desired and your oven turns off automatically. Or you can Temperature Cook by these methods, using the temperature probe to determine the doneness by the internal tem-

perature of the food. This method takes the guesswork out of cooking, shutting the oven off automatically when the food reaches the desired temperature.

The Automatic Cooking Control (AUTO COOK) feature does your microwave cooking for you. It’s easy and convenient—just follow the step-by-step instructions in this manual. A sensor detects steam from the food and automatically adjusts cooking time and power level for best results.

AUTO ROAST is a combination cooking function that uses the temperature probe. You simply select from 8 Auto Roast Codes, and the oven automatically adjusts power level, oven temperature and internal food temperature to cook the

food the way you want it. A Delay Start/Timer lets you pro-

gram the oven to start cooking at a desired time, even if you’re not at home. It also serves as a convenient kitchen timer.

The following chart shows at a glance the difference between microwave, convection and combination cooking.

Cookware Tips

Convection Cooking

METAL PANS are recommended for all types of baked products, but especially where browning or crusting is important.

Dark or dull finish metal pans are best for breads and pies because they absorb heat and produce crisper crusts.

Shiny aluminum pans are better for cakes, cookies or muffins because these pans reflect heat and help produce a light tender crust.

GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC casserole or baking dishes are best suited for egg and cheese recipes

due to the cleanability of glass.

Combination Cooking

GLASS OR GLASS-CERAMIC baking containers are recom-

mended. Be sure not to use items with metal trim as it may cause arcing (sparking) with oven wall or oven rack, damaging the utensil, the rack or the oven.

YES

(Utensils with

no metal trim)

YES

NOTE: For more information on the proper use of utensils

in your oven, see your Microwave Guide and Cookbook.

YES

HEAT-RESISTANT PLASTIC microwave cookware (safe to 450”F.) may be used, but it is not recommended for foods requiring crusting or all-around browning,because the plastic is a poor conductor of heat.

YES

(Utensils with

no metal trim)

YES *

1Some recipes may call for cooking on this oven rack, but generally microwaved foods should be cooked directly on the ceramic tray. See Cookbook for specific instructions.

21t is suggested that ceramic tray be removed during convection cooking, since it absorbs heat and reduces energy efficiency. If boil-over occurs, there will be fewer items to clean up.

Automatic Microwave Cooking Recipe Guide

Automatic Cooking Control is a fully automatic electronic control system that lets your microwave oven do the cooking for you. The charts and recipes in this section are designed to help you make the most of this truly new feature.

Standard cooking techniques require setting the oven for a specified cooking time or a selected finished temperature. And that means looking up recipes in a cookbook. . . trying to convert old recipes for microwave cooking. . .or just

resorting to guesswork. This control method works on an entirely different basis—with a special electronic sensor that detects steam from cooking food. The oven “knows” how the food is cooking; so it can automatically set the cor-

rect cooking time and maintain the proper power level for different

types and amounts of food.

NOTE: Oven will not accept “Auto

Cook Code” if the oven is hot. If the words “Auto Cook Delay” appear, you must cool the oven

before using Auto Cook or you may choose to use Time or Temperature Microwave Cooking.

Easy to Use

Simply touch two control pads— AUTO COOK and the desired Code number—and then START. A chart on the oven contol panel

gives a complete list of Codes for frequently prepared foods. The readout display shows AUTO until steam is sensed and then signals,

and displays time counting down. During AUTO, oven should not be opened, but when oven signals, most foods should be turned, stirred, or rotated. Check the Automatic Cooking Chart for suggestions.

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good cooking results. Containers should match in size to the size of the food being

cooked. Coverings such as plastic wrap secured on all sides, the lid that came with the container, or microwave-safe plastic domes are ideal. For examples of containers and coverings, see page 8 and the following recipe section of this book.

Foods Recommended

A wide variety of foods including meats, fish, casse-

roles, vegetables, leftovers, and convenience foods can

be Auto Cooked. Match container size with the food, cover securely, and do not open door during AUTO cycle. When oven signals, turn, rotate or stir as recommended in recipe or chart on pages 17 and 18.

Foods Not Recommended

Recipes and foods which must be cooked uncovered, or

which require constant attention, or adding ingredients during cooking should be microwaved by TIME COOK. For foods that microwave best using temperature probe, use TEMP COOK or AUTO ROAST. Foods requiring a dry or crisp surface after cooking cook best with TEMP COOK, CONVECTION or COMBINATION cooking.

How to I’Wxowave Dy 1Ime

Time Cooking is a familiar method of cooking food for a predetermined length of time. You will find that cooking with microwave energy takes a great deal less time than conventional cooking methods. And your microwave oven, unlike many other ovens, turns itself off automatically after the preset time has elapsed.

You can even program your oven to

Time Cook in two stages! Cook at one power level for a desired length of time; then the oven automatically changes to a different power level and continues cooking until the food is done. Check the Cookbook for foods requiring two power levels.

Setting the Oven Controls

Step 1: Touch TIME COOK. The

time of day disappears from the

display and “Enter Cook Time”

flashes.

51ep 2: minutes and seconds. For example, touch 1, 2 and Ofor 1 minute, 20 seconds. Display shows the cooking time. When setting 11Ahours touch 9,0,0, and O. Display shows 90:00 for 90 minutes. The oven is automatically set to cook at High

Power (10), unless another power level is selected. If needed, touch

POWER LEVEL—’’Enter Power” flashes. Touch the number pad for the desired power level.

Enter the cooking time in

=7/ “/’ammBnm

Step 3: Touch START. The display

shows “Cook Time” and the remaining cooking time counting down.

When time is up, the display shows “End”, the oven signals and shuts off. If during cooking, you wish to see what Power Level is being used, touch POWER LEVEL Pad and the number appears momentarily.

Two-Stage Microwave

Time Cooking

Step 1: Touch TIME COOK and

then the desired number pads for

first stage cooking time, as de-

scribed in Steps 1 and 2 above.

Step 2: Touch POWER LEVEL.

Cooking time disappears from the

display and “Enter Power” flashes.

Touch the number pad for first

stage power level or oven auto-

matically cooks at HIGH (10).

Step 3: For the second cooking

stage, touch TIME COOK and the

numbers for second phase cooking

time. If a different power level is

required, repeat Step 2.

Step 4: Now touch START. First stage cooking time appears on the display counting down. When the first stage time has elapsed, the oven automatically changes to the second stage of cooking and power level. When cooking is finished, the display shows “End”, the oven signals and turns off.

Questions and Answers

Q. While cooking, I wished to change the cooking time and I touched CLEAR/OFF. I then tried to set the oven to microwave again

and nothing happened. Why?

A. Touching CLEAR/OFF once

only stops the oven just like opening the door. You must touch the CLEAR/ OFF Pad twice to clear the oven program and set a new one.

Q. I touched the number pads to enter cooking time but nothing happened. Why?

A. The TIME COOK pad must be

touched before setting the number

pads or the oven will not accept the number entries.

Q. After I touched TIME COOK the display flashed “Prob”. Why?

A. “Prob” will flash on the display if the temperature probe has been left in the oven. Remove the probe

and touch TIME COOK again.

Q. I set my oven to TIME COOK

for the period in the recipe, but the

food wasn’t done at the end of that time. What happened?

A. Since house electrical power may vary, many Time Cook recipes give you a time range to prevent overcooking. Set the oven for the minimum time, test the food for doneness, and cook a little longer if necessary.

Defrosting is one of the most useful

microwave functions of your oven, thawing foods quickly, but gently. With no lengthy defrosting required, meal planning is easier than ever! You can prepare single servings or whole meals ahead of time and freeze, then thaw and heat

them in just minutes.

Your new oven can even be programmed to Defrost, then Time Cook for complete freezer-to-table meal preparation—automatically! Refer to page 8 of this book or to the Cookbook for utensils and food preparation tips and suggestions.

Step 1: Touch DEFROST. The

time of day disappears from the display and “Enter Def Time” flashes.

Step 2: Touch the number pads to

enter defrosting time. For example,

touch 8, 0, 0 for 8 minutes. The display shows 8:00. Power Level is automatically set in your oven.

Step 3: Touch START. The display

shows “Def Time” and counts down the time remaining. When defrosting is completed, the display shows “End”, and the oven signals and shuts off.

How to Microwave Defrost and Time Cook

If you wish to defrost and then cook a particular food, follow the simple instructions below to program your oven.

~m[u

Step 1: Touch DEFROST. The time of day disappears from the display and “Enter Def Time” flashes.

[~MI~~

Step 2: Set the defrosting time in

minutes and seconds by touching

the number pads in sequence. The programmed time appears in the display.

S:ep ?, Touch START. Display shows “Def Time” and the preset defrosting time begins counting down. When this time is completed, display shows “Cook Time” and the cooking time begins counting down. When finished, “End” flashes, oven signals and turns off.

Question:. and Answers

Q. M’hy don’t the defrosting time:, in the Cookbook seem right for my food?

A. Cookbook times are average, and defrosting time required can vary according to the temperature in your freezer. Set your oven for the time given in the Cookbook. If your food is not completely thawed at the end of that time, reset the oven and adjust the time for addi-

tional defrosting.

Q. Can 1 open the door during the Defrost cycle?

A. Yes. You may open the door at any time during microwaving. To resume defrosting, just close the door and touch START again. You may also touch CLEAR/ OFF Pad

once which only stops oven to check

on food. If you touch CLEAR/

OFF twice or open the door and touch CLEAR/ OFF it cancels out program. (See page 6 for further explanation.)

Q. When I defrosted hamburger patties, the edges were already cooked. Why is this?

A. The density and size of the food makes a difference when defrosting. Try using the minimum recommended defrost time first. Most meat patties must be rotated during

total defrosting time.

Temperature Cooking uses a special food thermometer to measure the internal temperature of food as it cooks. For many foods this is the best test of doneness. Heating or reheating foods accurately to the desired serving temperature is easy.

Use Temperature Cooking to take

the guesswork out of cooking; the oven cooks your food automatically to the ideal internal temperature and then shuts off automatically when the desired degree of doneness is reached.

Setting the Oven Controls

Step 1. Insert temperature probe in food as shown below or as described in Cookbook. Attach probe

securely to oven wall receptaci[ close oven door.

Step 2: Touch FOOD TEMP. The time of day disappears on the display and “Enter Food Temp” flashes.

Step 3: Touch the number pads in

the order you read them. For exam-

ple for 13&, touch 1,3, and O.

130F shows on the display.

and

FilB

Step 5:Touch START to begin cooking. The display shows “Cool” if actual food temperature is below

1O(PF. After 1(W’is reached, the display shows food temperature as it rises. When food reaches the

preset temperature, “End” flashes, oven signals and turns off.

How to Use the

Temperature Probe

Place probe so that point rests in ‘ center of the thickest meaty part of roast, or into the cut end or meatiest part of boneless ham or lamb.

Point should not touch bone, fat or gristle. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert probe into center of lowest

large muscle or joint.

Convection Time Cooking

During convection cooking, a heating element is used to raise the temperature of the air inside the oven. A fan gently circulates this heated air throughout the oven, over and around the food, producing golden brown exteriors and rich, moist interiors. Because the heated air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer of cooler air to develop around the food; some foods cook faster than in conventional oven cooking.

Questions and Answers

Q. May I use my metal roasting pan to Combination Cook a roast?

A. No. Do not use metal utensils

on the racks when using Microwave or Combination cooking. Place roast in glass dish on rack.

Q. Can I switch from one Combination Code to another during cooking?

A. No. The selected Combination -

Code may not be changed during the cooking operation, but you may reprogram the complete cooking instructions if you wish.

Q. Is it necessary to place the glass ceramic tray on the oven floor when Combination Cooking?

A. Yes. For best roasting results,

place meat in a glass dish. Place

dish on wire rack in lowest

position.

Remember:

● Check page 8 of this book and

your Cookbook for correct utensils

when Combination Cooking.

● For best roasting and browning

results, whole roasts and poultry should be cooked directly on the oven rack in lower position.

● Place the ceramic tray in the

bottom to collect juices and prevent splattering. See Convection preheat

instructions on page 22.

● Some recipes call for pre-heat.

● A spray-type vegetable oil may

be applied to rack to prevent food from sticking.

Combination T“rnperature Cooking

With this function of your new oven, you can enjoy the benefits of combination cooking with the precision of the temperature probe. Three Combination Codes as shown on Chart on page 14 make it easy to program microwave Power Level and oven temperature with only one entry. The probe makes it

simple to cook to the exact degree

of doneness desired, by monitoring the internal temperature of the food. This function is exactly like

Combination Time Cooking except

you set internal food temperature

desired instead of cooking time.

How to Combination

Temperature Cook

Step 3: Select the Combination

Code by touching a number pad from 1 to 3 depending on oven temperature needed. The code entered is shown on the display.

●

Step 5: Enter the desired finished

food temperature by touching the

number pads in sequence. For example, to set 18(P, touch 1, 8 and

Oin that order. The selected tem-

perature is shown on the display.

Step 1: Insert the temperature probe into food as di~ected in this manual or in the Cookbook. Plug the other end securely into the oven wall receptacle.

Step 4: The Combination Code disappears from the display and “Enter Food Temp” flashes.

NOW touch FOOD TEMP.

Step 6: Touch START to begin

cooking. The selected food temperature disappears and the display shows “Cool” until internal food temperature reaches 10WF. Then display shows actual food temperature as it rises. When food reaches the selected temperature, the display shows “End” and the oven signals and turns off.

For information on untensils for combination temperature cooking, refer to page 8.

Combination Auto

Roast

Auto Roast is a combination function which is similarto Combination TemperatureCooking, using

both microwaveand convection-

cooking in conjunction with the temperatureprobe. However, the

Auto Roast featureeliminatesmost

of the steps necessaryto program

Combination TemperatureCooking. Instead, you can set the entire

cooking programby selectingjust

one AUTO ROAST Code.

The food is placed in a glass dish

on the accessory metal rack for cooking during AUTO ROAST. To select a Code from 1 to 8 see

Control Panel.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I cook poultry, the thin, small areas like legs and wings ‘ often overcook before the rest of the bird is thoroughly cooked. can I prevent this?

A. Thin, uneven

portions of ‘

poultry may be shielded with aluminum foil during cooking. Do not allow foil to touch shelf or oven sides, or arcing may occur.

Q. Usually my temperature probe gives very accurate results, but this time it didn’t. What happened?

A. If the temperature probe is positioned touching fat or bone, an inaccurate reading may result. Be sure to place the probe in solid muscle, usually the thickest, meatiest part of the roast or poultry, or in the center of a meatloaf or casserole.

Q. Meats often take longer than indicated in the charts to reach the desired internal temperature.

Why?

A. If the meat is recently defrosted and still very cold or icy inside, it will require a longer cooking time than meat which has been merely refrigerated. Times shown in the charts are usually for meats that are refrigerator temperature.

How

Q. When 1tried to program my oven for Combination Auto Roast, it beeped and flashed “Prob”. What did I do wrong?

A. Auto Roast cannot be programmed without the temperature probe connected to the oven wall receptacle. To eliminate the “Prob” display and continue programming the oven, just securely insert the probe into the receptacle.

Q. When I touched the START pad

the display showed “Cool”’ instead

of the food temperature. Why?

A. If the temperature of the food is lower than 100°F, the display will indicate “Cool” until actual food

temperature reaches 100”. Then the display will show the internal food temperature as it continues to rise.

Q. Do most meats require standing, time after Combination Auto

Roasting?’

A. You may want to let meats stand briefly, to allow easier carving and serving. Most meat roasts continue to cook for a few minutes after removing from the oven. Check the

Cookbook for specific instructions.

Delay Start/Timer

The DELAY START/TIMER control on your new oven serves as a standard kitchen minute timer, and can also allow you to begin cooking a meal, even if you’re not at home! The convenient DELAY START/ TIMER function lets you program a delay time in minutes and seconds before beginning cooking. The oven will hold the food while counting

down the selected delay period, then begin cooking after the preset time has elapsed.

Step 1: Touch the DELAY START/

TIMER pad. The time of day dis-

appears from the display, and

“Enter Delay Time” flashes.

How to Use the Delay Start/ Timer with Any Time or Temperature Cooking Function

Care of Your Oven

Your new microwave/convection oven is a valuable appliance, protect it from misuse.

Follow these simple care rules:

1. Keep inside of oven clean. Food spatters or spilled liquids will absorb microwave energy and reduce efficiency of oven. Wipe up when they are still warm.

2. A browning dish is designed only

for use on the Microwave setting.

When microwaving, preheat browning dish or grill only on ceramic oven tray. Do not use dish with oven rack.

3. Always follow manufacturer’s suggestions when using browning dish or accessories.

4. Ceramic oven tray should always

be in position in the oven bottom whenever microwave cooking is being done. If a container of food is placed directly on oven bottom, damage to the oven could result.

5. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using microwave utensils or accessories.

If oven light burns out, you may replace it by carefully following the directions below:

Step 1: Disconnect oven power cord from electrical outlet.

Step 2: Unscrew and remove oven light bulb cover located on upper left side of cabinet. Do not remove any other part of cabinet.

Oven Cleaning Chart

Step 3: Let bulb cool before re-

moving. Remove tape from around bulb. Turn bulb counter clockwise

to remove from socket.

Step 4: Replace bulb with a special 20 watt light bulb. Insert bulb into socket and turn in clockwise direction.

Step 5: Replace light bulb cover. Step 6: Plug oven power cord into

electrical outlet. Reset oven clock. ~ NOTE: Keep microwave antenna

clean by using a soft damp cloth, rinse, then dry. Arcing may occur if antenna is not clean.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 electric current. This appliance is equipped with a power”cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. (Fig. 1)

WARNING—Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

PREFERRED METHOD

~1.~

Fig.1

Consult a qualified electrician

INSURE PROPER GROUND EXISTS BEFORE USE

or servicem-an if the grounding

instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obliga-

tion to have it replaced with a

properly grounded three-prong wall

receptacle.

Do Not Under Any Circumstances Cut or Remove the Third (Ground) Prong From The Power Cord.

Use of 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. H~wever, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded twoprong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter (Fig. 2) which is available at most local hardware stores.

TEMPORARY METHOD

(ADAPTER PLUGS NOT

PERMITTED IN CANADA) ALIGN LARGE PRONGS/SLOTS- ‘<:-

● -~

- “>lNsuREp~pERGRouND

Flfj.

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.

@-:g:oflpf;:NNEcT,oN

Usage Situations Where Appliance’s Power Cord Will Be Disconnected Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these

situations because disconnecting of

the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to even-

tual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have the twoprong wall receptacle replaced with

a three-prong (grounding) recep-

tacle by a qualiiled electrician before using the appliance.

Use of Extension 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 will 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.)

Such extension cords are obtainable through General Electric service. 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.

. . —....—.——.—-

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.
