BEFORE USE
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 recep-
tacle 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. The
customer should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is prop-
erly grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this is
not done, the adapter ground ter-
minal is very likely to break with
repeated use. Should this happen,
DO NOT USE the appliance until
a proper ground has again been
established.

Use of Extermion 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. H
you do use
an extensioncord with
your microwaveoven,the interior
light may flicker and the blower
sound may vary when oven is in use.
