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.
