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. 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 (Fig. 2). The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1). The green colored rigid
ear, lug, or the like (F) extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground (G) such as a properly grounded outlet box cover (Fig. 2). 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.
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-grounding conductor (C) and grounding plug (A).
The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
