IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug (A)
illustrated in Fig. 1. A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect
this plug to a 2-pole receptacle (E) if a properly grounded outlet is not
available (Fig. 2). The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (B) can be installed by a qualifified electrician
(Fig. 1). The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like (F) extending from
the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground (G) such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover (Fig. 2). Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. NOTE: In Canada, the
use of
a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance must be
grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor (C) and grounding plug (A). The plug
must be inserted into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
