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 ground-
ing plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accor-
dance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Improper connection of the equip-
ment-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 elec-
trician. This appliance is designed
for use on a nominal 120-volt cir-
cuit, and has a grounding attach-
ment plug that looks like the plug
in the drawing above. Make certain
that the appliance is connected to
an outlet having the same configu-
ration as the plug. No plug adapter
should be used with this appliance.
This model is for household use only.
