SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 and grounding plug. The plug must
be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
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. 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 grounded
plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Figure A. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in
Fig. B may be used to connect this
plug to a 1-pole receptacle as shown
in Fig. B if a properly grounded outlet
is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can
be installed by a qualified electrician.
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 cover. 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.
