current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This appliance is equipped

grounding conductor (C) and

be plugged into an appropriate
outlet (B) that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all

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
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

A temporary adapter (D) may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole

receptacle (G) 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 (E), lug, or the like
extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw (F).
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a
temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electrical Code.
