For heaters rated for use on 120 volts, if the cord has a plug as shown at “A” below, an adapter as shown at
“C” is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
For heaters rated for use on 240 or 208 volts, the cord has one of the plug caps as shown in “D” below. No
adapter is available for these blade congurations, and none should be used. The type outlet is a 240 or 208
volt grounding outlet. When properly installed, it provides a ground connection through the cord to the heater
