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-
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 (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

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.
