WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded..

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug.

To miinimize the risk of electric shock, use the plug with a standard three-slot

grounding wall power outlet. If the power outlet does not include a grounding slot,

have a qualified eiectrician replace the outlet before you use the room air

Electrical Safety

We strongly di_ourage the use of an adapter due to potential sdety hazards.

For temporary connections, use only a UL-][sted adapter, avaiiaibie from most

local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with

the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection.

To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid

damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as

this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.
