This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
WARNING!
Improper connection of an equipment-grounding conductor
can result in risk of electric shock. Check with qualified
electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have
proper outlet installed by a qualified technician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure
A. A temporary adaptor which looks like the adaptor illustra-
ted in Figure B may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole
receptacle, as shown, if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet, Figure A, can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like extending from the adaptor must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be held in place
by a metal screw.
NOTE! In Canada, the use of a temporary
adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code
