Grounding
instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resis-
tance for electrical current to reduce the
risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equip-
ment-grounding conductor (C) and
grounding plug (A) (Fig. 1-2). The plug
must be plugged into an appropriate
extension cord and outlet (B) that is
properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

ified electrician or service person if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the

a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. This appliance is for use on

A temporary adapter (D) may be used to
connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle
(E) if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded
outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified
electrician.
The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like (F) extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground
(G) such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a tempo-
rary adapter is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.
