Grounding Instructions
A

C
This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown, ground-
ing provides a path of least resistance for
electrical current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-ground-
ing conductor (C) and grounding plug (A).
The plug must be plugged into an appro-
priate outlet (B) that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
DANGER-
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 provid-
ed 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
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 ear,
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 permit-
ted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
