infrequently
Because of potential sate W
hazaMs under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug. H_)we_x;
ifyou still elect to use ml adapte_,
where locM codes permit,
a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may"
be made to a properly grounded
2-prong wall receptacle by the use of
a UL lismd adapter which is available
at most local hardware stores.
METHOD beforeuse,
The lm%er slot in the adapter must be Mig'ned with the lm%'er slot
in the wall receptacle to provide proper polmitv in the connection
of the power cord.
r, ^t,,UTION:A aehingthe adapter ground terminal to the wall
receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring.
_k)u shouM have the drcMt checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord fl'om the adaptor, always hold
the adaptor with one hand. If this is not done, the adaptor ground
mrminal is veW likely to break with repeamd use. Should this
happen, DONOTUSEthe appliance until a proper ground k_s

Donotusean adapterplugin these situations because fl'equent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the
adaptor and leads m eventual fidlure of the adaptor ground
mrndnal. You shoMd N_vc the two-prong wall receptacle replaced
