GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded wir-
ing 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 equip-
ment-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.
This model is for household use only.
