SAFETY INFORMATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The unit is equipped with a 3-wire cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be
plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The cord provided with this appliance is equipped with a grounding wire and
a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in
any way.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:
1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.
3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.
POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
2. If the power supply cord is too short, do not use an extension cord. Have a
qualified electrician or serviceman to install an outlet near the appliance.
3. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord, extreme
care must be exercised.
a) Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance.
b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal to
or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE:
Neither W Appliance nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the unit or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding
plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
