3. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A. USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE THE
APPLIANCE POWER CORD WILL BE
DISCONNECTED INFREQUENTLY
TEMPORARY METHOD
(Adapter plugs not
permitted in Canada)
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp
circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp
circuit. Where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall receptacle by
the use of a UL-listed adapter, available at most
hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to
provide proper polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand.
If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is
very likely to break with repeated use. Should
this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a
proper ground has again been established.
CAUTION
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the
wall receptacle cover screw does not ground
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal,
and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is
grounded through the house wiring. The
customer should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle
is properly grounded.

B. USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE THE
APPLIANCE POWER CORD WILL BE
DISCONNECTED FREQUENTLY
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because disconnecting of the power cord places
undue strain on the adapter and leads to
eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal.
The customer should have the two-prong wall
receptacle replaced with a three-prong
(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
before using the appliance.
The installation of appliances designed for
mobile home installation must conform with the
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the
Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction
and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or, when
such standard is not applicable, the Standard
for Manufactured Home Installations, latest
edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities
and Set-Ups), ANSI A225.1, latest edition, or
with local codes. In Canada, mobile home
installation must be in accordance with the
current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home
Installation Code.
