GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded
wiring system. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a safe path of least
resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk
of electrical shock. The cord for this appliance
has an equipment-grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. It must only be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper
connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of
electrical shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you aren’t
sure if the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not
fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. This appliance is
designed for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounding attachment
plug that looks like the plug in the drawing
above. Make certain that the appliance is
connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No plug adapter
should be used with this appliance.
