Oreck FK40100 Series #961151928ID112043 Vacuum Cleaner User Manual


 
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 (C) and grounding plug (A). The plug
must be inserted into an appropriate outlet (B) that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in the 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 grounding plug that looks like the plug (A) illustrated
in Fig. 1. A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle (E) if a properly grounded outlet is not available
(Fig. 2). The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (B) can be installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1). The
green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like (F) extending from the adapter
must be connected to a permanent ground (G) such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover (Fig. 2). 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.
