Safety
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordi-
nances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if
you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illus-
trated in sketch A. A temporary adapter looks like
adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used
it connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed
by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear,
lug or the like extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter
is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
