GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING METHODS
This self-contained extractor must be properly grounded. If it should mal-
function or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for elec-
trical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This machine 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. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary,
DO NOT
connect the grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer sur-
face that is green with or without stripes is the grounding wire.
This unit is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounded plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in
(Fig. A)
. A temporary adapter that
looks like the adapter illustrated in
(Fig. B&C)
may be used to connect the
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
(Fig. B)
if a properly grounded out-
let is not available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded out-
let
(Fig. A)
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green color rigid
ear, lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a per-
manent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. 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.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of elec-
tric 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 elec-
trician.
