Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the product is prop­erly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided
with the product - if it will not fit the outlet, you may
temporarily use an adaptor (such as the one shown
in Figure B) until you have a proper outlet (such as
the one shown in Figure C) installed by a qualified
electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
Figure A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter
illustrated in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure D if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
Figure C can be installed by a qualified electrician. The tab
for grounding screw Figure B extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter
is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. See

Figures D and E.

All servicing of this footbath must be performed by

authorized HoMedics service personnel.
