Safety Information Operating Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer SupportUsage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnectedinfrequently.Because of potential safetyhazards under certain conditions,we strongly recommend against theuse of an adapter plug. However, ifyou still elect to use an adapter,where local codes permit,a TEMPORARY CONNECTION maybe made to a properly grounded2-prong wall receptacle by the use ofa UL listed adapter which is availableat most local hardware stores.The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slotin the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connectionof the power cord.CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to thewall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless thecover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle isgrounded through the house wiring.You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician tomake sure the receptacle is properly grounded.When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always holdthe adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter groundterminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should thishappen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground hasagain been established.Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnectedfrequently.Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequentdisconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapterand leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. Youshould have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using theappliance.ADAPTER PLUGS9Ensure proper groundand firm connectionbefore use.TEMPORARYMETHODAlign largeprongs/slots(Adapter plugs notpermitted in Canada)
