Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can resu t in a risk of e ectric shock. Check with a qua ified
e ectrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the out et is proper y grounded. Do not modify the
p ug provided with the app iance –if it wi not fit the out et,
have a proper out et insta ed by a qua ified e ectrician.
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 ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A. A
temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in Figure
B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle, as
shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet, Figure 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.
