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.
