GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If
it
should malfunction or breakdown, ground-
ing 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.
WARN IN
G
-
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electri-
cian 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
Fig.
A.
A
temporary adapter that looks like
the adapter illustrated
in
Fig.
B
and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown
in
Fig.
B
if a properly grounded outlet
is
not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only
until
a properly grounded outlet (Fig.
A)
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used,
it
must
be held
in
place by a metal screw.
