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, aTEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to aproperly
grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of aUL listed adapter which is available
at most local hardware stores (Fig. 2). The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned
withthe larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection
of thepowercord.
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 aq;alified electrician to makesure the receptacle isproperlygrounded.

The temperature probe is designed to help makeyourmicrowavecookingmoreaccurate

been done by TIME. Now you can cook many foods to apre-set internal TEMPERA-
TURE, and be assured that they are as hot as you want them to be for serving.
See page 11 for may foods recommended for cooking with your automatic temperature
probe. Page 11 also lists foods not recommended for use with the probe.
/’ d
In general insert probe into centermost e
part of food as horizontally as possible.
Insert at least l-inch into food.
Place foodwith probeinto oven.
Insert cable end into receptacle on oven
wall until “seated.’)
BE SURE PROBE IS ATTACHED
SECURELY TO OVEN RECEPTACLE.
If probeis not attached securely, oven will
not start when “Start” button is pressed,
as areminderto secure cable end of probe
to ovenreceptacle.
Use clip on cable to loop cable where ap-
propriate.Looping cablenot only controls e
length of cable but also supplies moresta-

probe slipping in food). Close oven door
firmly to insure proper latching.
