GROUNDED PLUG

For your protection, this unit is equipped with a 3- conductor cord set that has a molded 3- prong grounding- type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding- type outlet.

If a grounding- type outlet is not available, an adapter may be obtained so that a 2- slot wall outlet can be used with a 3- prong plug. The adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.

warning NOTE: Do not move the grounding prong.

Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.
