Grounding
Instructions
This appliance is equipped with a power cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service
technician if the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as
to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Usage situations where appliance's power cord
Adapter
will be disconnected infrequently.
Plugs
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug. However,
if you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may
be made to a properly grounded wall receptacle
by the use of a UL listed adapter which is
available at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to
provide proper polarity in the connection of the
power cord.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
We do not recommend using an extension
cord with this appliance. If the power cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or service
technician install an outlet near the appliance.
(See EXTENSION CORDS section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its
own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights,
blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal
to the wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle
is grounded through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle
is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand.
If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal
is very likely to break with repeated use. Should
this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a
proper ground has again been established.
Usage situations where appliance's power cord
will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because frequent disconnection of the power
cord places undue strain on the adapter and
leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground
terminal. You should have the 2-prong wall
receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician before using
the appliance.
