GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This applicance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or break down, 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 and grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of
the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a 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 grounded plug that looks like the
plug in “Fig. A” below. A temporary adaptor that
looks like the adaptor in “Fig. C” below may be used
to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown
in “Fig. B” below, if properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporay adaptor 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 adaptor
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the
adaptor is used, it must be held in place by a metal
screw.
To avoid electrical
shock, use indoors only.
