HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this
appliance must be properly grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The dehumidifier should always be plugged into its own
individual electrical outlet, which has a voltage rating
matching the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire
hazard from overheated wires.
