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 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.
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 grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter
that looks like the adapter 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
adapter should be used only until a qualified
electrician can install a properly grounded outlet
(sketch A). The green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent 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.
