GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate
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 electric shock. Check with
a qualified electrician or service person if
you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance--if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a grounding attachment
plug that looks like the plug illustrated in the sketch above. Make sure that the
appliance is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No
adapter should be used with this appliance.
