Installation—Electrical Connections

D4 Usage situations where appliance power cord will be disconnected infrequently.

For 15 amp circuit only. Do not use an adaptor on a 20 amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adaptor available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adaptor must be aligned with the large slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

Insure proper ground and firm connection before use

Align large prongs/slots

Temporary Method

(Adaptor plugs not permitted

in Canada)

CAUTION: Attaching the adaptor ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adaptor, always hold the adaptor with one hand. If this is not done, the adaptor ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Usage situations where appliance power cord will be disconnected frequently.

Do not use an adaptor plug in these situations because disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adaptor and leads to eventual failure of the adaptor ground terminal. The customer should have the two- prong receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
