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.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the
equipment 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.
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.
