cord that includes a grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
A WARNING
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
- Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove the third (grounding) prong.Do not use an
adaptor or otherwise defeat the grounding plug.
Consult a qualified electrician or service person if you do not understand the grounding instructions
or ifyou are not sure if the appliance is properly grounded.
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this appliance. If the power-supply cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance. However, if it is
necessary to use an extension cord, read and follow the "Use of Extension Cords" section below.
Useof 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. Ifyou 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.
