Grounding Instructions
(Compacto 9 model)
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a safe path of least resistance for electrical
current, reducing the risk of electric shock. The cord for this
appliance has an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. It must only be plugged into an electrical outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided with appliance.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrical
shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service person if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is grounded.
If not, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit. It has a
grounding plug similar to the example shown. Make sure the
appliance is connected to an outlet with the same configuration
as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
Servicing of Double-Insulated Appliances
(Compacto 6 model)
A double-insulated appliance is marked with one or more of the
following: The words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE
INSULATED” or the double-insulation symbol ( ). In a double-
insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead
of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to the
appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by
qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.
