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
(#14 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.
