GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
The appliance must be connected to a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER -
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service
person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug connected to the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED APPLIANCE RATED LESS THAN
15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The appliance is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and should be
connected to a grounding outlet that looks like the one illustrated
below. The use of a temporary adaptor is not recommended.
