WARNING! Unplug unit when not in use.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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

This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, 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 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.

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug. (See Figure 1)
A temporary adaptor may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle 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 or 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 a metal screw. (See Figure 2)

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor should be used with this appliance.
