GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor (C) and grounding plug (A). The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a
nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug (A)
illustrated in Fig. 1. A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle (E) if a properly grounded outlet is not available (Fig. 2). The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (B) can
be installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1). The green colored rigid ear, lug, or
the like (F) extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
(G) such as a properly grounded outlet box cover (Fig. 2). Whenever the adapter
is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. NOTE:In Canada, the use of a
temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
