GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 inserted

into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes

and ordinances.

WARNING

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.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the

plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B

and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly

grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly

grounded outlet (sketch 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.
