The Vitamix blender's US power cable comes equipped with a three-prong
(earthed) plug which mates with a standard three-prong wall socket (Figure A).
This cable will vary for countries outside the USA.
• Adapters (Figure B) are available for two-prong outlets. Do not cut or remove the
third (earth) prong from the plug or power cable.
• Consult your electrician if you are not sure if the wall socket is earthed through
the building's wiring. With a properly earthed two-prong wall socket, earth the
machine by attaching the tab on the adapter to the wall outlet cover by means of
the screw in the centre of the cover (Figure B).
WARNING!
Three-prong adapters are not to be used in Canada.
