IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected infrequently.
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to
use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a
properly grounded wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which is available at most
local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to
provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw
does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and
the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been
established.
Usage situations where appliance’s power cord will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter
and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS are not completely understood, or if

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground)
prong from the power cord.

appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician or service technician install an outlet near the
appliance. (See EXTENSION CORDS section.)
For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical
outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of
circuit breaker.
