WARNING!  
IMPORTaNT SaFeTY NOTICe  
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic enforcement act requires the governor of California  
to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm,  
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.  
gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon  
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas  
or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize  
incomplete combustion. exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open  
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

WARNING!  
SURFaCe BURNeRS  
Use proper pan size—avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat  
bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough  
to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations  
of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can  
be easily grasped and remain cool.

which may damage the burner grate and  
burner head. Also, it may cause the burner  
to work improperly. This may cause a carbon  
monoxide level above that allowed by current  
standards, resulting in a health hazard.  
nAdjust the top burner flame size so it  
does not extend beyond the edge of the  
cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.  
nUse only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot  
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns  
from steam. Do not let pot holders come near  
open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use  
a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot  
holder.  
nFoods for frying should be as dry as possible.  
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh  
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and  
over the sides of the pan.  
nNever try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a  
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.  
nWhen using glass cookware, make sure  
it is designed for top-of-range cooking.

Using the gas surface burners.  
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.  
Before Lighting a Gas Burner  
After Lighting a Gas Burner  
nMake sure all burners are in place.  
nDo not operate the burner for an extended  
period of time without cookware on the  
grate. The finish on the grate may chip  
without cookware to absorb the heat.  
nMake sure all grates on the range are  
properly placed before using any burner.  
nBe sure the burners and grates are cool  
before you place your hand, a pot holder,  
cleaning cloths or other materials on them.  
How to Light a Gas Surface Burner  
Make sure all the surface burners are placed  
in their respective positions.  
When one burner is turned to LITE,  
all the burners spark. Do not attempt to  
disassemble or clean around any burner  
while another burner is on. An electric shock  
may result, which could cause you to knock  
over hot cookware.  
Push the control knob in and turn it  
to the LITE position.  
You will hear a little clicking noise—  
the sound of the electric spark igniting  
the burner.  
Push the control knob in and turn it  
to the LITE position.  
Turn the knob to adjust the flame size.  
If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue  
to click.  
Sealed Gas Burners  
Medium  
Small  
Your gas range cooktop has four sealed  
gas burners. They offer convenience,  
cleanability and flexibility to be used in  
a wide range of cooking applications.  
The extra large burner (right front) is the  
maximum output burner. Like the other three  
burners, it can be turned down from HI to LO  
for a wide range of cooking applications;  
however, this burner is designed to quickly  
bring large amounts of liquid to a boil.  
The smallest burner in the right rear position is  
the simmer burner. This burner can be turned  
down to LO for a very low simmer setting. It  
provides precise cooking performance for  
delicate foods such as sauces or foods that  
require low heat for a long cooking time.  
Large  
extra Large  
The medium (left rear) and the large (left front)  
burners are the primary burners for most  
cooking. These general-purpose burners can  
be turned down from HI to LO to suit a wide  
range of cooking needs.  
How to Select Flame Size  
For safe handling of cookware, never let the  
flames extend up the sides of the cookware.  
Flames larger than the bottom of the  
cookware will not result in faster heating  
of the cookware and could be hazardous.  
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce  
heat. When fast heating is desired, the flame  
size on a gas burner should match the  
cookware you are using.

Top-of-Range Cookware  
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware  
is recommended because it heats quickly  
and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in  
an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with  
tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum  
amounts of water.  
Glass: There are two types of glass  
cookware—those for oven use only and those  
for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee  
and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.  
Heatproof Glass-Ceramic: Can be used for  
either surface or oven cooking. It conducts  
heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check  
cookware manufacturer’s directions to be  
sure it can be used on gas ranges.  
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets  
will give satisfactory results.  
Enamelware: Under some conditions,  
the enamel of some cookware may melt.  
Follow cookware manufacturer’s  
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor  
heating properties and is usually combined  
with copper, aluminum or other metals for  
improved heat distribution. Combination  
metal skillets usually work satisfactorily

as the manufacturer recommends.  
Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners)  
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas  
burners. If you use the stove top grill on the  
sealed gas burner, it will cause incomplete  
combustion and can result in exposure to  
carbon monoxide levels above allowable  
current standards.  
This can be hazardous to your health.

resulting in carbon monoxide levels above  
allowable standards. This could be dangerous  
to your health.  
Only a flat-bottomed wok should be used.  
In Case of Power Failure  
In case of a power failure, you can light  
the gas surface burners on your range with  
a match. Hold a lit match to the burner,  
then push in and turn the control knob  
to the LITE position. Use extreme caution  
when lighting burners this way.  
Surface burners in use when an electrical  
power failure occurs will continue to operate  
normally.

Using the oven.  
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.  
Before you begin…  
The racks have stop-locks, so that when  
placed correctly on the rack supports  
(A through E), they will stop before coming  
completely out, and will not tilt.  
To remove a rack, pull it toward you,  
tilt the front end up and pull it out.  
To replace, place the end of the rack  
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the  
front and push the rack in.  
When placing and removing cookware,  
pull the rack out to the bump on the  
rack support.  
NOTE: The rack is not designed to slide out  
at the special low rack (R) position.  
The oven has 5 rack positions.  
It also has a special low rack position (R)  
for extra large items, such as a large  
turkey.  
Oven Vent  
Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear  
of the range. Do not block these ducts when  
cooking in the oven—it is important that the  
flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air  
to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid  
touching the vent openings or nearby  
surfaces during oven or broiler operation—  
they may become hot.  
nHandles of pots and pans on the cooktop  
may become hot if left too close to the vent.  
nDo not leave plastic or flammable items on  
the cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left  
too close to the vent.  
Plastic items on the cooktop may melt  
if left too close to the vent.  
nDo not leave closed containers on the  
cooktop. The pressure in closed containers  
may increase, which may cause them  
to burst.  
Vent appearance and location vary.  
nMetal items will become very hot if they are  
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.  
Power Outage  
If the oven is in use when a power failure  
occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot  
be relit until power is restored. This is because  
the flow of gas is automatically stopped  
and will not resume when power is restored  
until the glow bar has reached operating  
temperature.  
CAUTION:  
Do not make any  
attempt to operate the electric ignition oven  
during an electrical power failure.  
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during  
a power failure. Gas will not flow unless  
the glow bar is hot.

When baking on a single rack, use  
the rack position from the chart for  
your type of food. Baking results will  
be better if baking pans are centered  
in the oven as much as possible.  
Pies – On cookie sheet  
Roasting  
For best results when baking four cake layers  
at a time, use racks B and D. Place the lower  
pans at the back of the rack and the upper  
pans at the front of the rack as shown so that  
one pan is not directly above another leaving  
approximately 1-1/2between pans, from  
the front, back and sides of the walls.  
4-Layer cakes  
When baking four cake layers at a time,  
use racks B and D. Place the lower pans  
at the back of the rack and the upper  
pans to the front of the rack shown  
so that one pan is not directly above  
another.  
Aluminum Foil  
Do not use aluminum foil to line oven  
bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and  
upset the performance of the oven. Foil can  
melt and permanently damage the oven  
bottom. Damage from improper use of  
aluminum foil is not covered by the product  
warranty  
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a  
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below  
the food .Do not use more foil than necessary  
and never entirely cover an oven rack with  
aluminum foil . Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from  
oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation  
Oven Moisture  
As your oven heats up, the temperature  
change of the air in the oven may cause  
water droplets to form on the door glass.  
These droplets are harmless and will  
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!  
GEAppliances.com  
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to  
become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat  
yourself.  
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.  
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.  
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained  
in memory after a power failure.  
To Adjust the Thermostat (on some models)  
Touch the Bake and Broil Hi/Lo pads  
at the same time for 3 seconds until  
the display shows SF.  
When you have made the adjustment,  
touch the Start/On pad to go back to  
the time-of-day display. Use your oven  
as you would normally.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!  
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat).  
If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher-fat product.  
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat  
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.  
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads,  
on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor  
of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70%  
vegetable oil.

Using the self-cleaning oven.  
Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.  
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.  
Before a Clean Cycle  
For the first self-clean cycle, we recommend  
venting your kitchen with an open window or  
using a ventilation fan or hood.  
Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass  
material of the oven door gasket cannot  
withstand abrasion. It is essential for the  
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it  
becoming worn or frayed, replace it.  
Remove the racks, any broiler pan, broiler  
grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from  
the oven.  
Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven  
bottom.  
The oven racks can be self-cleaned,  
but they will darken, lose their luster  
and become hard to slide.  
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in  
place and the oven light is off.  
Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.  
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven  
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.  
A combination of any of these products plus  
the high clean cycle temperatures may  
damage the porcelain finish of the oven.  
CAUTION:  
The grates and  
drip pans (if so equipped) should never  
be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven.  
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or  
oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning  
oven. A combination of any of these products  
plus the high clean cycle temperatures may  
damage the porcelain finish of the oven.  
Soil on the front frame of the range and  
outside the gasket on the door will need  
to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas  
with hot water, soap-filled scouring pads  
or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse  
well with clean water and dry.  
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is  
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off

Lift-Off Oven Door  
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy.  
You may need help removing and replacing  
the door.  
nThe area outside the gasket can be  
cleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad.  
To clean the outside of the door:  
To remove the door, open it a few inches  
to the special stop position that will hold the  
door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift  
the door straight up and off the hinges.  
nUse soap and water to thoroughly clean  
the top, sides and front of the oven door.  
Rinse well. You may also use a glass  
cleaner to clean the glass on the outside  
of the door.  
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between  
the hinge and the oven door frame since  
the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.  
nSpillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato  
sauces and basting materials containing  
acids may cause discoloration and should  
be wiped up immediately. When the  
surface is cool, clean and rinse.  
Lift the door straight up and off  
the hinges.  
To replace the door, make sure the hinges  
are in the special stop position. Position  
the slots in the bottom of the door squarely  
over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly  
and evenly over both hinges at the same  
time. If the hinges snap back against  
the oven frame, pull them back out.  
nDo not use oven cleaners, cleansing  
powders or harsh abrasives on the  
outside of the door.  
To clean the inside of the door:  
The gasket is designed with a gap  
at the bottom to allow for proper  
air circulation.  
nDo not allow excess water to run into  
any holes or slots in the door.  
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—  
it has an extremely low resistance to  
abrasion.  
nBecause the area inside the gasket is  
cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you  
do not need to clean this by hand. Any  
soap left on the liner causes additional  
stains when the oven is heated.  
If you notice the gasket becoming worn,  
frayed or damaged in any way or if it  
has become displaced on the door,  
you should have it replaced.  
Oven Bottom  
The oven bottom has a porcelain-enamel  
finish. To make cleaning easier, protect  
the oven bottom from excessive spillovers by  
placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the  
rack you are cooking on. This is particularly  
important when baking a fruit pie or other  
foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit  
fillings or other foods that are highly acidic  
(such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces  
with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause  
pitting and damage to the porcelain-enamel  
surface and should be wiped up immediately  
after oven cools.  
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,  
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scouring  
pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before  
self-cleaning.  
Oven Air Vents  
Never block the vents (air openings) of the  
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet  
that are necessary for the range to operate  
properly with correct combustion.  
Air openings are located at the rear of  
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the  
oven door, and at the bottom of the range,  
under the warming drawer, storage drawer  
or kick panel (depending on the model).  
Vent appearance and location vary.

Care and cleaning of the range.  
Lower Control Panel (Front Manifold Panel) and Knobs  
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel  
after each use of the oven. Use a damp cloth  
to clean or rinse. For cleaning, use mild soap  
and water or a 50/50 solution of vinegar and  
water. For rinsing, use clean water. Polish dry  
with a soft cloth.  
The control knobs may be removed for easier  
cleaning.  
Make sure the knobs are in the Off positions  
and pull them straight off the stems for  
cleaning.  
Pull the knob straight off the stem.  
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher  
or they may also be washed with soap and  
water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are  
dry before replacing.  
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid  
cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven  
cleaners on the control panel—they will  
damage the finish.  
Replace the knobs in the Off position  
to ensure proper placement.  
Do not bend knobs by pulling them up or  
down or by hanging a towel or other such  
loads. This can damage the gas valve shaft.  
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap  
and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives,  
ammonia, acids or commercial oven  
cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.  
Oven Racks  
Clean the racks with an abrasive cleanser or  
scouring pad. After cleaning, rinse the racks  
with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.  
If the racks ever become hard to slide, wipe  
the rack edges or oven rack supports with  
vegetable oil.  
NOTE: Take the racks out of the oven before  
you begin the self-clean cycle or they may  
discolor.  
Heavy-Duty Oven Racks (on some models)  
Clean the racks with an abrasive cleanser.  
To make the racks slide more easily, apply  
a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking  
oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges  
of the oven racks with the paper towel.  
The oven racks may be cleaned in the  
self-cleaning oven. However, the racks  
will darken in color, lose their luster  
and become hard to slide if cleaned  
during the self-cleaning cycle.  
Oven Light Replacement  
Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth.  
Replace bulb with a 40-watt household  
appliance bulb.  
CAUTION:  
Before replacing your  
oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power  
to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker  
panel. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb  
cool completely.  
To replace cover:  
Place it into the groove of the light  
receptacle. Pull the wire forward to  
the center of the cover until it snaps  
into place. When in place, the wire holds  
the cover firmly. Be certain the wire  
is in the depression in the center  
of the cover.  
Wire cover holder.  
The oven light bulb is covered with a  
removable glass cover that is held in place  
with a bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven  
door, if desired, to reach cover easily.  
To remove:  
Hold a hand under the cover so it  
doesn’t fall when released. With fingers  
of the same hand, firmly push back  
the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.  
Connect electrical power to the range.  
Do not remove any screws to remove  
the cover.

around the base of the range that supply fresh air for  
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by  
carpeting or woodwork.  
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,  
the use of a CSA International-certified flexible metal  
appliance connector is recommended unless local codes  
require a hard-piped connection.  
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and  
can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl  
or carpeting. Use care when moving the range on this type  
of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and  
inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.  
Never use an old connector when installing a new range.  
If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align  
the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection  
is made.  
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood  
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at  
the front of the range, the area that the range will rest  
on should be built up with plywood to the same level  
or higher than the floor covering.  
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe-joint compound on, or wrap  
pipe-thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external)  
pipe threads.  
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in the gas line  
in an easily accessed location outside of the range.  
Make sure everyone operating the range knows where  
and how to shut off the gas supply to the range.  
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning  
or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will  
withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions  
section.)  
B. Install male 1/2flare union adapter to the 1/2NPT  
internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench  
on the regulator fitting to avoid damage.  
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can  
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range.  
(See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)  
B. When installing the range from the front, remove the 90°  
elbow for easier installation.  
C. Install male 1/2or 3/4flare union adapter to the NPT  
internal thread of the manual shut-off valve, taking care  
to back up the shut-off valve to keep it from turning.

PRoVIDE ADEqUATE GAS SUPPly  
This range is designed for an operating manifold  
pressure of 4” or 5” water column (w.C.) on natural gas  
(see rating label on product) or 10” w.C. on lP gas.  
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to  
the adapter on the range. Position range to permit  
connection at the shut-off valve.  
This range comes from the factory set for use on natural  
gas, but it is convertible for use on LP gas. If you decide to  
use this range on LP gas, conversion must be made by a  
qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the  
range.  
E. When all connections have been made, make sure  
all range controls are in the off position and turn on  
the main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector  
at all joints and connections to check for leaks in  
the system.  
For proper operation, the inlet pressure to the regulator  
should be at least 1” W.C. above the operating manifold  
pressure but must not exceed 14” W.C.  
wARnInG: Do noT USE A FlAME  
To CHECK FoR GAS lEAKS.  
The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range  
manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of  
whether natural or LP gas is being used. When checking for  
proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be  
at least 1” greater than the operating manifold pressure.  
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to  
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,  
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve from  
the gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2  
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate  
the range from the gas supply system by closing the  
individual shut-off valve.  
A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the  
range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of ½” and  
be 5 feet in length for ease of installation. In Canada,  
flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no  
longer than 6 feet in length.

ElECTRICAl ConnECTIonS  
ElECTRICAl ConnECTIonS (ConT.)  
Electrical Requirements  
A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will  
Be Disconnected Infrequently.  
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit  
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker  
or time-delay fuse.  
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit.  
Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local  
codes permit, a TEMPoRARy ConnECTIon may be  
made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by  
the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most hardware  
stores. 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.  
Extension Cord Cautions  
Because of potential safety hazards associated with certain  
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of  
an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an  
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a  
UL-listed, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord  
and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes  
be equivalent to, or greater than, the branch circuit rating.  
Temporary Method  
(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)  
Grounding  
IMPoRTAnT—(Please read carefully)  
Align large prongs/slots  
FoR PERSonAl SAFETy, THIS APPlIAnCE MUST  
BE PRoPERly GRoUnDED.  
Ensure proper ground  
and firm connection  
before use  
Preferred Method  
Ensure proper ground  
exists before use  
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.  
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a  
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard  
3-prong grounding wall receptacle to minimize the  
possibility 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.  
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 happen, Do noT USE the  
appliance until a proper ground has again been  
established.  
Where a standard 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered,  
it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the  
customer to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-  
prong wall receptacle.  
Do noT, UnDER Any CIRCUMSTAnCES, CUT oR REMoVE  
THE THIRD (GRoUnD) PRonG FRoM THE PowER CoRD.  
A word about GFCIs – GFCIs are not required or  
recommended for gas range receptacles.  
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are devices that  
sense leakage of current in a circuit and automatically  
switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected.  
These devices must be manually reset by the consumer.  
The National Electrical Code requires the use of GFCIs in  
kitchen receptacles installed to serve countertop surfaces.  
Performance of the range will not be affected if operated  
on a GFCI-protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping  
of the GFCI breaker is possible.

B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will  
Be Disconnected Frequently.  
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because  
disconnecting of the power cord places undue strain on  
the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter

wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding)  
receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the  
appliance.
