TEMPORARY GROUNDING METHOD

receptacle is impossible and where local
codes permit (consult your electrical inspector), a temporary adaptor may be plugged into
the existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate
with the 3-prong power supply cord. THIS
HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
If this is done, you must connect the grounding eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle
cover plate screw and from this same screw,
you must connect a separate copper ground
wire (#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water
pipe.* Do not ground to a gas supply pipe.
Do not connect to electrical supply until
appliance is permanently grounded.
‘Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical
ground and not be interrupled by plastic, rubber or other
electrical insulating connections (including water meter or
pump) without adding a jumper wire at these connections.
