Improper connection of the equipment-
–
grounding conductor can result in a 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.

–
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal
–
120-volt circuit, and has a grounded
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Fig.A.
A temporary adapter that looks like the
–
adapter illustrated in Fig.B, may be
used to connect this plug to a two-pole
receptacle as shown in Fig.B, if a prop-
erly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used
–
only until a properly grounded outlet
(Fig.A) is installed by a qualified electri-
cian.
The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the
–
like extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cov-
er.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must
–
be held in place by a metal screw.
