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 and grounding
plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a 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 grounded plug that looks
like the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor
illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as
shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the adaptor
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical
Code.
