Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it

should malfunction or breakdown, rounding provides a path of least resistance for electric 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 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

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 grounded plug that looks like the plug shown. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor shown may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle, as shown. If a properly grounded outlet is not available, the temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug or the like extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary

adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
