CAUTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER- Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.
•
This product has a three-prong grounding plug, which must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. If repair or replacement
of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding 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. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded.
•
This product is for use on a nominal 120V circuit, and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary
adapter, which looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may
be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if
a properly grounded outlet is not available.
•
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician.
The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the
adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used,
it must be held in place by a screw.
THIS APPLIANCE HAS TO BE EARTHED.
