your Cookbook
for specific
test to determine

"microwave-safe" utensils.
s Paper towels, wax paper, and plastic wrap can
beused tocover dishes in orderto retain moisture
and prevent spattering.
@ Some microwaved foods require stirring, rotat-
ing, or rearranging.
Check your Cookbook for
specific instructions.
e Some foods such as unshelled eggs and hot

For Personal Safety, This Appliance Must Be Prop-
erly Grounded. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped
with a three-prong
(grounding)
plug
which mates with a standard three-prong (ground-
ing) wall receptacle (Fig. 1) to minimize the possi-
bility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is en-
countered, it is the personal responsibility and obli-
gation of the customer 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.
A. 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. However, if you still elect to use
an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPO-
RARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a
UL listed adapter which is available at most local
hardware stores (Fig. 2). 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. The customer should
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
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 hap-
pen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper
ground has again been.established.
B. Usage Situations Where Appliance's Power
Cord Will Be Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations be-
cause disconnecting of the power cord places un-
due strain on the adapter and leads to eventual fail-
ure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer
should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced
with a three-prong
(grounding)
receptacle by a
qualified electrician before using the appliance.
