GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
This appliance must be grounded . in the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current .
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a
grounding wire with a grounding plug . The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
grounded .
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the
GROuNdiNG iNSTRuCTiONS are not completely understood,
or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded .

ADAPTER PLUGS

Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently.
because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes
permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded 2-prong wall receptacle by the use of a uL listed adapter
which is available at most local hardware stores .
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of
the power cord .
CAUTION: attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded .
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand . if this is not done, the adapter
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 situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the
adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal . You should have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced
with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance .
—Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
if the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet .
do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord .
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this
appliance . if the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the
appliance . (See ExTENSiON CORdS section . )
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical
outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or
tripping of circuit breaker .
