 GRoUNDING INsTRUCTIoNs
This appliance must be grounded.
 If it should malfunction or breakdown, ground-
ing provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce t\
he risk of 
electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having equipment \
ground-
ing conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appr\
opriate 
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all lo\
cal codes 
and ordinances.
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 below. 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 receptacle is not 
available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly gr\
ounded 
outlet
	
(sketch
 	
A)
 	
can
 	
be
 	
installed
 	
by
 	
a
 	
qualified
 	
electrician.
 	
The
 	
green
 	
colored
 	
ear
 ,
	
lug, or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to a perma\
nent

 
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw. 
N
o TE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian 
Electrical Code.
