DANGER:
GROUNDING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical equipment must be grounded. If
it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This extractor is
equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding
plug. The plug must be inserted into an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed
This extractor is for use on a nominal 120
volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that
looks like the plug illustrated-rated in (Fig
A). A temporary adaptor that looks like
the adaptor illustrated in (Fig B & C) may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in (Fig B) if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
INSTRUCTIONS
and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the
grounded wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
GROUNDING
METHODS
The temporary adaptor should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (Fig
A) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid ear, lug, or the
like, extending from the adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw (Fig C).
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a 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 extractor. If it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by
the Canadian Electric Code.
This extractor is designed to be safe
when used to perform cleaning functions
as specified. Should damage occur to
electrical parts, the unit should NOT be
used until the damage is repaired by the
manufacturer or authorized service center. This will avoid further damage to the
unit or injury to the user.
