Useof adapterplug (115-voltmodelsonly)
Becauseof potentialsafetyhazards undercertain
conditions,we stronglyrecommend againstthe use of
an adapterplug.However,if you stillchooseto use an
adapter,atemporaryconnectionmaybe made where
localcodespermit. Use aUL-listedadapter,availableat
most localhardware storesand make sure the2-prong

When disconnectingthepower cord from the adapter,
alwaysholdthe adapterwith one hand whilepullingthe
