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.

WA R N I N G :

Improper connection

of the equipment-grounding conductor can
result in a risk of electrical shock. C h e c k
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.
