The appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk
of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The 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 installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded. Failure to follow these instructions may create an electric shock hazard and/or a fire
hazard.
