Grounding reducesthe riskof electric

shock by providing an escape wire for

the electric current.

with a grounding plug. Plug it into an

outlet that is properly installed and

grounded.

using an adapter plug.

However,a temporary connection may

be made where local codes permit

and if the 2-prong well outlet is

properly grounded. Make surethe

larger prong of the adapter goes into

fne largeslot to provide proper polarity.

FOR PROPER GROUNDING

1. Ground the adapterto the outlet

by usingthe outlet cover screwto

securethe ground terminal to the

outlet box.

2. Pleaseconfirm the outlet is

grounded through the house

wiring. If the grounding connector

in an enclosed area to be most effective.

such as a closet, unlessthere is adequate

circulation of air in and out of the area_

°Turn the dehumidifier off and remove

the plug from the wall outlet before

cleaning. Usewater and a mild detergent
