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 properly grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. 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
