Safety before Servicing the Appliance
WARNING
Electrical hazards…
Before servicing the appliance, remove electrical power by
either disconnecting the power cord from the wall receptacle
or by putting the circuit breaker in the
OFF
position.
If tests must be conducted while the appliance is live, always
use a residual-current-operated circuit breaker. The
protective conductor connection must not exceed the
recommended values.
When repairs are complete, perform a function test in
accordance with the appropriate regulations.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the separate
ground wire or the third (ground) prong from the power cord
plug.
Improper grounding or reverse polarization will cause
malfunction, which can damage the appliance and create an
electrical shock hazard. Make sure the circuit is properly
grounded and polarized in accordance with applicable local
codes and ordinances. Receptacle replacement shall be in
accordance with the National Electric Code.
