Enjoy the safety of this grounded machine. The Vita-Mix blender’s

U.S. power cord comes equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall outlet (Figure A). This cord will

vary for countries outside the United States.

Adapters (Figure B) are available for two-prong outlets. Do not cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from the plug or power cord.

Consult your electrician if you are not sure if the wall outlet is grounded

through the building wiring. With a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet, ground the machine by attaching the tab on the adapter to the wall outlet cover by means of the screw in the center of the cover (Figure B).

THREE PRONG ADAPTERS ARE NOT TO BE USED IN CANADA.
