a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle
by the use of a UL-listed adaptor available at
most hardware stores. The larger slot in the
adaptor must be aligned with the large slot in
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.

Installation Instructions

CAUTION:
Attaching the adaptor ground
terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw
does not ground the appliance unless the
screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house
wiring. The customer should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician to make sure
the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adaptor, always hold the adaptor with one
hand. If this is not done, the adaptor ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated
use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again
been established.
Usage situation where appliance power cord
will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adaptor plug in these situations
because disconnection of the power cord
places undue strain on the adaptor and leads to
eventual failure of the adaptor ground terminal.
The customer should have the 2-prong
receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician before
using the appliance.
