USEOFEXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must rise an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be
a Ui,-listed, 14 gauge, 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord having a
grounding type plug and outlet and that
tile electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 195 volts.
USEOFADAPTER PLUGS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you must use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a temporary
connection may be made to a properly
grounded 2-i)rong wall outlet by use of
a Ui,-lismd adapter available at most
local hardware stores.
Tlle larger slot in tlle adapter must be
aligned with tile larger slot in the wall
outlet to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.
When disconnecung the power cord flom
the adapter, always hold tile adaptor in place
with one hand while pulling the power cord
plug with tile other hand. If this is not done,
tile adaptor ground mrmina] is very likely to
break with repeated use.
If tile adapter ground terminal 1)teaks,
DO NOT USE tile dehumidifier until a proper
ground has been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a waft
outlet cover screw does not ground the appfiance
unless the cover screw is metal, not insulated, and
the wall outlet is grounded threugh the house wiring.
Youshould have the circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
READ ANDFOLLOW THIS SAFETY I NFORMATION CAREFULLY.
