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.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-ground-
ing 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.
