GROUNDING METHODS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, 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 and grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged 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 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.

EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire extension cords (must be 12 Ga. by 3 wire minimum for 50 ft. length or 10 Ga. by
3 wire minimum for 100 ft.) that have three-prong grounding-type plug caps and three-pole
receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or repair damaged cords.
