GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER – Electric Shock Hazard
Touching some of the internal components can cause serious
personal injury or death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
Improper use of the grounding can result in electric shock. Do not
plug into an outlet until appliance is properly installed and grounded.
This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electric shock. Appliance is equipped with a 3-foot-long
conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding plug to fit into the proper
outlet. 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 has a cord with a grounding wire and a
grounding plug, which must be plugged into a properly installed and
grounded outlet.
The WMO90 plug (Fig. 1) can be connected to an adapter (Fig. 2) for
use in 2-prong receptacles. The grounding lug, which extends from
the adapter, must be connected to a permanent ground, such as a
properly grounded outlet box (Fig. 3) using a metal screw.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood or if there is doubt as to
whether the appliance is properly grounded.
EXTENSION CORDS & LONG CORD SETS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type
plugs and 3-pole cord connectors that accept the plug from the
appliance. Use only extension cords that are intended for indoor use.
Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than
the rating of the appliance. Do not use damaged extension cords.
Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not
abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect.
Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges.
