Grounding Instructions - Hoover SmartWash FH52001 User Manual

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.

WARNING:
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.
