(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)

FORPERSONALSAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLYGROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) mates witha standard three-prong(grounding)

wall receptacle (Fig.4) to minimize the possi-

bility

i.s

of electric shock hazard from this appli-

ance. The c us[omer should ha}.c the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified c1cc trician t(}ma kc s\Jre Ihe reccpt ii~!c k properl}’grounded.

lecause of potential safety hazards under cerain conditions, we strongiy recommend ,gainstthe useof an adapter plug. However, if roustill elect to use an adapter, where local odes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNliICHON may be made to a properly grounded we-prongwall receptacle by the use of a UL istedadapter which is available at most local Lardwarestores (Fig.5).The larger slot in the ,dapter must be aligned with the larger slot in he wall receptacle to provide proper polarity n the connection of the power cord.

;AUTION: Attaching the adapter ground ter-

ninal to the wall receptacle cover screw does lot ground the appliance unless the co~’er crew is
