Oreck 550 - Manual (Page 3)

Grounding Information
▲ CAUTION ▲
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction
or break down, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electrical 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.
▲ 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 is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Sketch A (see next column). A temporary
adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in Sketch B
(see next column) may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle, if a properly grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter 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 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.
