Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the 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 receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapterwhich is available
at most local hardware stores (Fig. 2). The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned

withthe larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection

of thepowercord.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter. ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw
does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and
the wall receptacle Is grounded through the house wiring.The customer should have the
circuit checkedby a q;alified electrician to makesure the receptacleis properlygrounded.
