Use of adapter plq
Becauseof potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend againstuse of an adapter
plug. However, if you still elect to use
an adapte~where local codes permit,
a TEMPORARYCONNECTION may
be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall outlet by use of a UL
listed adapter (Fig. 2) available at
most local hardware stores.
I TEMPORARY
METHOD
(ADAPTER PLUGSNOT
PERMITTED IN CANADA)
R
The larger slot in the adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in the wall
outlet to provide proper polarity in
the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching adapter
ground terminal to wall outlet cover
screw does not ground the app\i-
ance unless cover screw is metal,
and not insulated, and wall outlet
is grounded through house wiring.
Youshould have the circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnectingthe power
cordfrom the adapter,always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground
hasagain been established.
Use of extensioncords
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against the use of an
extension cord. However, if you still
elect to use an extension cord, it is
absolutely necessary that it be a
UL listed 3-wire grounding type
appliance extension cord having a
grounding type plug and outlet and
that the electrical rating of the cord
be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120
volts. Such extension cords are
obtainable through your local
service organization.

which could cause a possible fire
hazard from overheating wires,
