The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with
a standard three-prong (grounding)
wall outlet (Fig. 1) to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Use of Adapter Plug
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against use of an adapter
plug. However, if you still elect to use
an adapter, where local codes permit,

You should have the circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make

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 the adapter ground

appliance until a proper ground
