GE JEM25 Use And Care & Cooking Guide

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This appliance is equipped with a
power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.

men disconnecting the power mrd 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.
Usage situations where apptiance’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
