Safety Infor

Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected
infrequently.
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug.
However, if
you still elect to use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION
may be
made to a properly grounded two-
prong wall receptacle by the use of a
UL listed adapter which is available
at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to
provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION:
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through
the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always
hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter
ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should
this happen,
DO NOT USE
the appliance until a proper ground has
again been established.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected
frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug
in these situations because frequent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter
and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You
should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-
prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before
using the appliance.
