GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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
cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING – Improper use of the grounding can result in a risk of
electric shock.
Consult a qualified electrician if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt exist as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded.
◆
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too
short, have a qualified electrician install an outlet near the
appliance.
