plug outlet or face plate
is
HOT
!
iv) If the outlet or face plate is
HOT
,
discontinue use immediately
and have a qualified
electrician inspect and/or replace the faulty outlets.
The cord supplied with the heater has a
plug with two blades (live and neutral) and
one round pin (ground). If a 3-slot
receptacle is not available, an adapter
MUST
be used. The adapter
MUST
be
properly grounded
to the outlet box (see
figure at right).
