GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be properly grounded. If it should mal-
function 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 equip-
ment-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.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-ground-
ing 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 this appliance. If the plug will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use in a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has
a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A.
A temporary adapter that 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 (sketch A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The rigid lug (usually green) 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 a metal screw.
