SITUATIONS WHERE THE APPLIANCE
WILL BE DISCONNECTED ONLY
OCCASIONALLY:
❒ Because of potential safety hazards, we
strongly discourage the use of an
adapter plug. However, if you wish to
use an adapter, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made. Use
UL-listed adapter, available from most
local hardware stores. The large slot in
the adapter must be aligned with the
large slot in the receptacle to assure a
proper polarity connection.
SITUATIONS WHERE THE APPLIANCE
WILL BE DISCONNECTED OFTEN.
❒ Do not use an adapter plug in these
situations. Unplugging the power cord
frequently can lead to an eventual
breakage of the ground terminal. The
wall power outlet should be replaced by
a three-slot (grounding) outlet instead.
CAUTION:
Attaching the 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.
The customer should have the circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly grounded.
Disconnect the power cord from the adapter,
using one hand on each. Otherwise, the adapter
ground terminal might break. DO NOT USE the
appliance with a broken adapter plug.
