Use of Adapter Plugs
Usage situations where appliance's power
cord will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and
leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have
the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from 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;
(continued)
2. The extension cord must be a grounding-type
3-wire cord;
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
unintentionally.
If you use an extension cord, the interior light
may flicker and the blower sound may vary when
the microwave oven is on. Cooking times may be
longer, too.
