RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
This appliance is factory equipped with a power supply cord with a four-prong grounding plug. It
must be plugged into a mating grounding, type receptacle, connected to a correctly polarized 120/240

obligation of the installer to have the existing receptacle changed to a properly grounded and
polarized receptacle in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified
electrician. In the absence of local codes and ordinances, the receptacle replacement shall be in
accordance with the National Electrical Code.
THE FOURTH PRONG (ROUND GROUNDING PIN) SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, BE CUT OR REMOVED.
