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 qualified electrician

(Fig. 1). The green colored 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.
