Usage situations where
appliance’s power cord will 
be disconnected infrequently.

Because of potential safety
hazards under certain
conditions, 

we strongly

recommend against the 
use of an adapter plug.

However, if you still elect 
to use an adapter, where
local codes permit, 
a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may 
be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall
receptacle by the use of a 
UL listed adapter which 
is available at most local
hardware stores.

The larger slot in the
adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the
wall receptacle to provide
proper polarity in the
connection of the power
cord.

CAUTION:

Attaching the

adapter ground terminal 
to the wall receptacle cover
screw does not ground the
appliance unless the cover
screw is metal, and not
insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. 

You should have the 
circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to 
make sure the receptacle 
is properly grounded.

When disconnecting 
the power cord from 
the adapter, always hold 
the adapter with one hand.
If this is not done, 
the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to

break with repeated use.
Should this happen, DO
NOT USE the appliance
until a proper ground has
again been established.

Usage situations where
appliance’s power cord will
be disconnected frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug

in these situations because
frequent disconnection 
of the power cord places
undue strain on the adapter
and leads to eventual
failure of the adapter
ground terminal. You
should have the two-prong
wall receptacle replaced
with a three-prong
(grounding) receptacle 
by a qualified electrician
before using the appliance.

ADAPTER PLUGS

Ensure proper ground
and firm connection
before use.

TEMPORARY
METHOD

Align large
prongs/slots

(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)
