SCREW
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not
permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
A temporary adapter (C) may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle (D) 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
electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. When-
ever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.
DANGER-
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 illustrated in sketch (A).
(A)
GROUNDING PIN
(B)
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for
electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug (A). The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
