GROUNDING
WALL RECEPTACLE
POWER-SUPPLY CORD
ALTERNATE GROUNDING METHOD
If changing and properly grounding the wall
receptacle is impossible and where local codes
permit (consult your electrical inspector), a
temporary adapter may be plugged into the
existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate with the
3-prong power supply cord. See Figure 2. THIS,
HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
If this is done, you must connect the grounded
eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle
cover plate screw and from this same screw, you
must connect a separate copper ground wire
(#I4 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.*
See Figure 2. Do not ground to a gas supply
pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply until
appliance is permanently grounded.
