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.
