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.
