This appliance
must be grounded.
If it
should malfunction
or breakdown,
grounding
provides
a path of least resis-
tance for electrical
current to reduce
the
risk of electric shock. This appliance
is
equipped
with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding
conductor
(C) and
grounding
plug (A). The plug must be
plugged
into an appropriate
outlet (B)
that is properly
installed
and grounded
in accordance
with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGleR.
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).
F
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 era,
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.
