This appliance
must be grounded.
If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding
provides a path of least resis-
tance for electrical current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This appliance
is
equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding
conductor
(C) and
grounding
plug (A). The plug must be
plugged
into an appropriate
outlet (B)
that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance
with all local codes and
ordinances.
DANGER-
Improper connection
of the equipment-
grounding
conductor
can result in the
risk of electric shock. Check with a qual-
ified 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 illustrated in
sketch (A).
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. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded
outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified
electrician.
The green colored rigid ear,
lug, or the like (F) extending from the
adapter must be connected
to a perma-
nent ground (G) such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. 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.
