GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of 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 and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the appliance 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.
A. For grounded, cord-connected appliances rated less than 15 A and intended for use on a nominal 120 V supply circuit:
1. This appliance is for use on a nominal 120 V circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch
A in Figure 59.1. A temporary adaptor, which looks like the adaptor 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 adaptor
should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear,
lug, and 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 the metal screw.
B. For grounded, cord-connected appliances other than as mentioned in (b):
1. This appliance is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating more than 120 V (or This appliance is rated more than 15 A
and is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 V), and is factory equipped with a specific electric cord and plug.
No adapter should be used with this appliance. If the appliance must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric
circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel; and after the reconnection, the appliance should
comply with all local codes and ordinances.
