SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided

to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.

If a long extension cord is used, the marked

electrical rating of the

extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The extension cord should be a grounding-type

3-wire cord, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the

countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

For your protection, this unit is equipped with

a3-conductor cord set that has a molded

3-prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown in Figure A.

If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure B, may be obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with

a3-prong plug. As shown in Figure C, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.

NOTE: Do not remove the grounding prong.

CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.

Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.
