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 attach-
ment plug that looks like the plug in the
