Temporary grounding method
If changing and properly grounding the wall recep-
tacle is impossible and where local codes permit
(consult your electrical inspector), a temporary
adapter may be plugged into the existing 2-prong
wall receptacle to male with the 3-prong power
supply cord. This, however, is not recommended.
If this is done, however, you must connect the
grounded eyelet on the adapter to the wall recep-
tacle cover plate screw and from this same screw,
you must connect a separate copper ground wire
(#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.
‘Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. Do not
connect to electrical supply until appliance is
grounded. Do not, under any circumslances,
remove the power supply cord grounding prong.
*Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to
electrical ground and not be interrupted by plas-
tic, rubber or other electrically insulating connec-
tors (including water meter or pump) without
adding a jumper wire at these connections.
