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-groundingconductorandgroundingplug.Theplug must be pluggedintoanappropriateoutletthatis
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor can result in 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 the proper outlet installed by a
qualified technician.
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.
