A, SITUATIONS WHERE THE APPLIANCE
WILL BE DISCONNECTED ONLY
OCCASIONALLY:
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly
dis_urage the use of an adapter plug. However, if
you wish to use an adapter, a TEMPORARY
CONN ECTION may be made. Use UL-listed
adapter, available from most local hardware
store(Fig. 2). The large slot in the adapter must be
aligned with the large slot in the receptacle to
assure a proper polarity connection.
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 wail receptacle is
grounded through the house wiring.
The customer should have the circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Disconnect the _wer cord from the adapter, using
one hand on each. Otherwise, the adapter ground
terminal might break. DO NOT USE the appliance
with a broken adapter plug,
B. SITUATIONS WHERE THE APPLIANCE
WILL BE DISCONNECTED OFTEN.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations.
Unplugging the power cord frequently can lead to
an even_al breakage of the ground terminal. The
wail power outlet should be replaced by a
three-slot(grounding) outlet instead.
