A) Grounding instructions for a grounded,
cord-connected appliance
In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for electric
current. This appliance is equipped with 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.
To reduce the risk of fire, this appliance must be
exhausted outdoors or the equivalent. Do not
exhaust into a chimney, wall, ceiling or concealed
space in a building.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
representative or personnel if you are in doubt as
to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
