GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor (C)and grounding plug (A). The plug must be inserted into an appropriate
outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WAR NING:
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 plug (A) illustrated in Fig. 1. 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 (Fig. 2). The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1).
The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like (F) extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground (G) such as a properly grounded outlet box cover
(Fig. 2). 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.
