2.3 Grounding Instruction
This appliance must be grounded in the event of 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 a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or servicemen if
the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance 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 120V circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketch A in Figure 73.1. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor illustrated in
sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor 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 adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by the metal screw.
