(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
FOR THE USER'S PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS
APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug. Use this with a standard
three-slot (grounding) wall power outlet to minimize the
hazard of electric shock. The customer should have
the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER PLUG.

A. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL BE
DISCONNECTED OCCASIONALLY:
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an adapter plug. However, if you
wish to use an adapter, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made. Use UL-listed adapter,
available from most local hardware stores.
The large slot in the adapter must be aligned with the
large slot in the receptacle to assure a proper polarity
connection.
: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall
receptacle cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not
insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
Disconnect the power cord from the adapter, using
one hand on each. Otherwise, the adapter ground
terminal might break. DO NOT USE the appliance with
a broken adapter plug.
B. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL BE
DISCONNECTED OFTEN.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations.
Unplugging the power cord frequently can lead to an
eventual breakage of the ground terminal. The wall
power outlet should be replaced by a three-slot
(grounding) outlet instead.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
discourage the use of an extension cord. However, if
you wish to use an extension cord, use a CSA
certified/UL-listed 3-wire (grounding) extension cord,
rated at 15A, 125V.
