SPECIAL CORD SET
INSTRUCTIONS
For your protection, this unit
is equipped with a
3-conductor cordset that has
a molded 3-prong
grounding-type plug,
and should be used in
combination with a properly
connected grounding-type
outlet as shown in figure A. If
a grounding-type outlet is
not available, an adapter,
shown in Figure B, may be
obtained so that a
2-slot wall outlet can be used
with a 3-prong plug. As
shown in Figure C, the
adapter must be grounded
by attaching its grounding
lug under the screw of the
outlet cover plate.
NOTE: Do not remove the
grounding prong.
CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be
determined that the outlet cover plate screw is
properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a
licensed electrician. Never use an adapter
unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
Use of an adapter is not permitted
NOTE:
in Canada.
