Grounding
Instructions
This appliance must be grounded.
If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for
electrical current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor
(C) and grounding plug (A). The
plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet (B) that is
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
DANGER-
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in the 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 (D) may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-
pole receptacle (G) if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adapter should be
used only until a properly grounded
outlet (B) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green
colored rigid ear (E), 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. (F).
NOTE:
In Canada, the use of a
temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electrical Code.
