POWER SUPPLY CORD

ALTERNATE GROUNDING METHOD

If changing and properly grounding the wall receptacle is impossible and where local codes permit (consult your electrical inspector), a temporary adapter may be plugged into the existing 2-prong wall receptacle to mate with the 3-prong power supply cord. See Figure 2. THIS,

HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

If this is done, you must connect the grounded eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle cover plate screw and from this same screw, you must connect a separate copper ground wire (#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.* See Figure 2. Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded.
