GROUNDING
WARNING!
Improperly connecting the grounding wire can result in the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the Hot House. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the Hot House if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Warning: Only use this Hot House with a GFCI electrical outlet.
To comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA70), and to provide additional protection from the risk of electric shock, this Hot House/Mini Greenhouse should only be connected to a receptacle that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
GROUNDED TOOLS: TOOLS WITH THREE PRONG PLUGS
1.Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the Hot House should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See Figure A.
2.The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the Hot House’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See Figure A.)
3.A grounded appliance must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the following illustration. (See Figure A.)

DOUBLE INSULATED APPLIANCES: APPLIANCES WITH TWO PRONG PLUGS Note: The Hot House has a Two Prong Plug.
1.Appliances marked “Double Insulated” do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. (See Figure B.)
