the
risk of electric shock. This appliance
is

Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in the
risk of electric shock. Check with a quali-
fied 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 out-
let 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 temporary
adapter
(D) may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
(E) 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 eal,
lug, or the like (F) extending
from the
adapter
must be connected
to a perma-
nent ground
(G) such as a properly
grounded
outlet box cover. 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.
