appliances such as washing machines, etc. For your safety,
this dehumidifier is equipped with a 3-pronged, grounding
plug and must be plugged into a properly grounded outlet
(Figs. 1 & 2). If your outlet is not of the proper type, it is your
responsibility to have the outlet and wiring changed to the
correct type. DO NOT cut off the third (grounding) prong.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
