Use of Adapter Plug

(115-volt models

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a temporary

connection may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet by use of a

~-listed

adapter (Fig. 2) available at most local hardware stores.
