infrequently.
Because ofpotential safety
hazards under certain condidons,
we strongly
recommendagainstthe
use of an adapterplug. However,
if you still elect to use an adapter;
where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may
be made to a properly grounded
2-prong vmll receptacle by tim use of
a UL listed adapter which is available
at most local hardware stores.

METHOD: : beforeuse
Tile larger slot i,a tile adapter' must be aligmed widr dm larger slot in
fire wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in tile connecdon of
the power cord.
a, CA UTION:
A ttaching the adapter ground terminal to
the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless
the cover screw is metal, 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 dm receptacle is properly grounded.
.When disconnecting tlae power cord from tlae adapter; always hold
dm adapter witla one band° If dais is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should tlds
happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has
again been established.
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will he disconnected
frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent
disconnection of tim power cord places undue strain on tim adapter
and leads to eventual failure of' tlae adapter ground terminal, You
should have tire two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a .%prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using
tlae appliance.
