appliance power cord will be
disconnected infrequently.

Temporary Method

(Adaptor plugs not permitted

in Canada)

Align large

prongs/slots

Insure proper ground

and firm connection

before use

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.

Installation Instructions

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 situation 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.
