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 (C) and grounding plug
(A). The plug must be inserted into an appro-
priate outlet (B) that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING:Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor can result
in the 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 grounding plug that looks like
the plug (A) illustrated in Fig. 3.1. A temporary
adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle (E) if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified electri-
cian. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like
(F) extending from the adapter must be con-
nected to a permanent ground (G) such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adapter is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw. N_: i/ In Canada, the use
of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.
