GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord with a grounding wire and a grounding plug. The
plug must be used with an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
• Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
NOTE:
If the outlet is a standard 2-
prog wall outlet, it is the user’s personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
• For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent the flickering of
lights, blowing of a fuse, or tripping of the circuit breaker.
• DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from the power
cord.
• DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
• DO NOT use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a
qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.
