GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The product is for use on a 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch A in Figure 1. A temporary adapter, which looks like the
adapter illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The
temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1)
can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, and the
like extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by the screw.
If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord that
has a three-blade grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug on the product. Replace or repair a damaged cord.
* If there is no electrical outlet in the bathroom, consult a licensed electrician for the installation of a
GFCIprotected outlet.
The product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
* This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
* The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
DANGER
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the
grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
