THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED:
Failure to properly ground the
appliance may result in death, electric shock, or fire.
Corded Models:
Corded models are equipped with either a NEMA 5-15
three-prong grounding plug or a NEMA 5-20 three-prong grounding plug to
reduce the risk of potential shock hazards. Corded models must be plugged into
a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. If the outlet is a 2-prong
outlet, it is your personal responsibility to have a qualified electrician replace it
with a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. Do not remove the
ground prong from the plug and do not use an adapter plug. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in death, electric shock, or fire.
