Grounding

Prong

This appliance is for use on a nominal 120
volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that
looks like the plug shown. A temporary
adaptor that looks like the adaptor shown
may be used to connect this plug to a
2-pole receptacle, as shown. If a properly
grounded outlet is not available, the
temporary adaptor 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 adaptor must be
connected to a permanent ground such as
a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw.

NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary
adaptor is not permitted by the Canadian
Electrical Code.
