SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having equip-
ment 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 quali-
fied electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to weather 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 grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A be-
low. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrat-
ed 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
receptacle 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 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.
