Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or break down,
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
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted
into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit, and has a grounded plug
that looks like the plug shown. A
temporary adaptor that looks like the
adaptor shown may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as shown.
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
or 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 a metal screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equip-
ment grounding conductor can
result in a 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.
