THESE MODELS ARE GROUNDED, CONNECT TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET ONLY - SEE

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.

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 shock. This appliance is

equipped with a cord 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.

WARNING - 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 will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This appliance is for use on a normal 120 volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like

the plug illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in

fig B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in fig B if a

properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a

properly grounded outlet (fig A) can be installed by a qualified electrician, The green colored

rigid ear, lug, or the like extending for the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground

such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. 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
