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

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
