Consumer SupportTroubleshooting TipsOperating InstructionsSafety InformationUsage 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,if you still elect to use an adapter,where local codes permit, aTEMPORARY 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 slot inthe wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection ofthe power cord.CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal tothe wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unlessthe cover screw is metal, 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.
