Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for
electrical current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-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 qualified 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
(A) illustrated in sketch (Fig. 1). 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 (Fig. 2).
The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet (B) can be
installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1).
The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like
(F) extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground (G) such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover (Fig.
2). 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.
