Grounding Instructions
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a circuit
protected by a Class A Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
(GFCI)*, which protects against line-to-ground shock hazard.
Use a 120 V, 15 A, 60 Hz service.
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded.
DANGER: Risk of electric shock. Improper use of the
grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in
doubt whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord with this product.
*Outside North America, this device may be known as a Residual
Current Device (RCD).

NOTICE: Follow local codes when determining the connection

electrical codes.
NOTICE: To avoid possible product malfunction, do not plug in the

Preferred Connection
Connect the grounding plug into a grounded outlet that has the
same configuration as the plug.
Temporary Connection
NOTICE: Unless the outlet cover screw is grounded through the
house wiring, attaching the adapter grounding screw tab to the
cover screw will NOT ground the unit. If there is any doubt
whether the cover screw is grounded, have it checked by a qualified
electrician or service professional.
A temporary connection with a two-prong adapter may be used if
a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the like extending from the
adapter must be connect to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by the screw.
