Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, grounding pro
vides a path of least resistance for electric
current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and ground
ing plug. The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt as to wheth
er the outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the appliance
– if it will not fit the outlet, have proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-V
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in sketch A Figure 1. A
temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor
illustrated in sketches B and C may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor
should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified
electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug,
or the like extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever
the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by
a metal screw.
Exception: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian
Electric Code, C22.1.
