WARNING

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if you do not understand the grounding instructions or if you are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.

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.
