GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING METHODS
T
his self-contained extractor must be properly grounded. If
it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord hav-
ing an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug.
The plug must be insertedinto an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. If repair or replacement of the cord or
plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the grounding wire to
either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without stripes is the
grounding wire.
T
his unit is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit, and has
a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in
(Fig. A). A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter
illustrated in (Fig. B&C) may be used to connect the plug to
a 2-pole receptacle as shown in (Fig. B) if a properly
grounded outlet is not available.
T
he temporary adapter should be used only until a prop-
erly grounded outlet (Fig. A) can be installed by a qual-
ified electrician. The green color rigid ear, lug, or the like
extending from the adapter must be connected to a perma-
nent ground 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 temporary adapter is not permitted
by the Canadian Electrical Code.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in
a risk of electric shock. Check with a 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 a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
