However,if you still elect touse an extension cord, it is absolutely necessarythatit be a UL-listed,3-wire grounding-type applianceextension cord and that the current carrying rating ofthe cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,the branch circuit rating.GROUNDINGIMPORTANT-- (Please read carefully.)FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUSTBE PROPERLY GROUNDED.Preferred Methodex_iSstUrbefo re use__! dThe power cord of this appliance is equipped witha three-prong (grounding) plug which mates witha standard three-prong grounding wall receptacleto minimize the possibility of electric shock hazardfrom this appliance.The customer should have the wall receptacle andcircuit checked by a qualified electrician to make surethe receptacle is properly grounded.Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle isencountered, it is the personal responsibility andobligation of the customer to have it replaced witha properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT ORREMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROMTHE POWER CORD.An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit.Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Wherelocal codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTIONmay be made to a properly grounded two-prongwall receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter,available at most hardware stores. The larger slotin the adapter must be aligned with the larger slotin the wall receptacle to provide proper polarityin the connection of the power cord.Temporary Method(Adapterplugsnot permittedin Canada)prongs/slots ....._ ilAlign large ___'k___"i_1_a_°n_iii_reCAUTION: Attaching the adapterground terminal to the wall receptacle coverscrew does not ground the appliance unlessthe cover screw is metal, not insulated, and thewall receptacle is grounded through the housewiring.
