GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor (B) and grounding plug (A) (Fig.1). The plug must be inserted into an appropriate
outlet (C) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances (Fig 1).
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in the 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 grounding plug
that looks like the plug (A) illustrated in (Fig. 1). A temporary adapter (D) may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle (E) if a properly grounded outlet is not available (Fig. 2). The temporary adapter should be used only until a
properly grounded outlet (C) can be installed by a qualified electrician (Fig. 1). The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the
like (F) extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground (G) such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover (Fig. 2). Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. NOTE: In Canada, the
use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
