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 electri-
cian. This appliance is designed for use on a
nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a ground-
ing 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.
