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

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 permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
