USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension
cord, it is absolumly necessa_ T that it be
a Ui,-lismd, 14 gauge, 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord having a
grounding type plug and outlet and that
the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 195 volts.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you must use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a temporary
connection may be made to a properly
grounded 9-i)rong wall outlet 1)yuse of
a Ui,-lismd adapter available at most
local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in the wall
outlet to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord fiom
the adapter, always hold the adaptor in place
with one hand while pulling the power cord
plug with the other hand. If this is not done,
the adaptor ground mrmina] is very likely to
break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal 1)reaks,
DO NOT USE the dehumidifier until a proper
ground has been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a waft
outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, not insulated, and
the waft outlet is grounded through the house wiring.
Youshould have the circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
