How to connect electricity
For personal safety, this
appliance must be
properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with
a standard three-prong (grounding)
wall outlet (Fig. 1) to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have
the wall outlet and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet properly
grounded.

GROUND EXISTS
BEFORE USE
If you have only a standard
two-prong wall outlet, it is your
personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong
wall outlet.
DO NOT,
UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUNDING) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.
Use of Adapter Plug
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we strongly
recommend against use of an adapter
plug. However, if you still elect to use
an adapter, where local codes permit,
a TEMPORARY CONNECTION
may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wall outlet by use of a
listed adapter (Fig. 2), available at
most local hardware stores.

BEFORE USE
The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in
the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching adapter

screw does not ground the appliance
unless cover screw is metal, and not
insulated, and wall outlet is
grounded through house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord
from the adapter, always hold the
adapter with one hand. If this is not
done, the adapter ground terminal is
very likely to break with repeated use.
Should the
adapter ground
terminal break,
DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.
