This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a code 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 illustrated
in sketch A. A temporary adaptor looks like adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C, may be used it connect this
plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch 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.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
