Wiring

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded

equipped with a three-prong [grounding] plug for your 

protection against shock hazard and should be plugged 

directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. 

Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug. 

For an ungrounded receptacle, an adapter, which has two 

prongs and a wire for grounding, can be purchased, plugged 

into the ungrounded receptacle and its wire connected to 

the receptacle mounting screw. With this wire completing 

the ground, the appliance cord plug can be plugged into the 

adapter and be electrically grounded.
