GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be connected to a grounded
wiring system. If it should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a safe path of least
resistance for electrical current, reducing the risk of
electrical shock. The cord for this appliance has an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
plug. It must only be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
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 aren’t
sure if the outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG. If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician. This appliance
is designed for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounding attachment
plug that looks like the plug in the
drawing above. Make certain that the
appliance is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the
plug. No plug adapter should be used with
this appliance.
This model is for household use only.
