Proper Grounding and Polarization of 120 Volts Wall Outlets

For the safety of our customers and the service technician ALL appliances have a three–prong power cord and MUST be connected to a properly polarized AND grounded wall outlet.

This information was written for those who do not understand grounding and polarization of a wall outlet.

A 120 volt wall outlet must always be wired as shown below.

Explanation

Polarization–This means that the larger slot must be neutral and the small slot must be hot (live). Mispolarized–The outlet is miswired so that the larger slot is hot (live) and the smaller slot is neutral. Grounded–This means the round hole connection is con- nected to earth ground through a connection to the main power panel.

Ungrounded–The round hole connection is not complete to earth ground and/or the main power panel.

Grounding Instructions

!WARNING

•To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, do not alter the plug.

•Do not remove grounding prong when installing grounded appliance in a home that does not have three wire grounding receptacle. Under no condition is grounding prong to be cut off or removed. It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to contact a qualified electrician and have properly grounded three prong wall receptacle installed in accordance with appropriate electrical codes

•To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, this equipment must be grounded.

This equipment MUST be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This unit is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or servicer if grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the equipment is properly grounded.

Do not use an extension cord. If the product power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician install a three- slot receptacle. This unit should be plugged into a separate 60 hertz circuit with the electrical rating as shown in the appropriate drawing. Models operate with a 120 supply voltage.
