USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be
a UL-listed, 14 gauge, 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord having a
grounding type plug and outlet and that
the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you must use an adapter,
where local codes permit, a
temporary
connection
may be made to a properly
grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of
a U1-listed adapter available at most
local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in the wall
outlet to provide proper polarity in the
connection of the power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from
the adapter, always hold the adapter in place
with one hand while pulling the power cord
plug with the other hand. If this is not done,
the adapter ground tei minal is very likely to
break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks,
DO NOT USE
the dehumidifier until a proper
ground has been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall
outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, not Insulated, and
the wall outlet Is grounded through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet Is properly
grounded.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
