FOR PERSONAL

SAFETY, T}IIS

APPLIANCE

MUST BE
PROPERLY
GROUNDED.

The power cord on
this appliance is equipped with a three-prong

(grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-

prong (grouncling) wall receptacle (Fig. C).
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is en-

countered, it is the personal responsibility and obli­gation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG.

TEhfPORARY METHOD

Where local codes
permit, a TEMPO-

RARY CON-NEC­TION may be made
to a properly ground­ed two-prong wall
receptacle by the
usc of an adapter
which is available at
most local har(lware stores (Fig. D). The larger slot
in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in
the receptacle. NOT PERMITTED IN CANADA.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal
to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring.

When flisconnccting the power cord from the adapt-

done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeate(l use. Should this happen, either
REPLACE THE ADAPTER or DO NOT USE the
appliance.

IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT AS TO WHETHER
THE WALL RECEPTACLE IS PROPERLY
GROUNDED, THE CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE
IT CHEC1{ED I)Y A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
