THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE GROUNDED:
This appliance is equipped
with a NEMA 5-15 three-prong grounding plug to reduce the risk of
potential shock hazards. It must be plugged into a properly grounded,
independent 3-prong wall outlet. If the outlet is a 2-prong outlet, it is your
personal responsibility to have a qualified electrician replace it with a
properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. Do not remove the
ground prong from the plug and do not use an adapter plug. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in death, electric shock, or fire.
•
Do not use an extension cord.
•
Do not use an appliance with a damaged power cord. The power cord
should not be altered, jerked, bundled, weighed down, pinched, or tangled.
Such actions could result in electric shock or fire. To unplug the appliance,
be sure to pull the plug, not the cord, and do not jerk the cord.
•
The GREEN ground wire in the factory-installed power cord is connected
to the appliance. If it becomes necessary to remove or replace the power
cord, be sure to connect the power cord's ground wire.
•
Do not splash, pour, or spray water directly onto or into the appliance. This
might cause short circuit, electric shock, corrosion, or failure.
•
Do not make any alterations to the appliance. Alterations could result in
electric shock, injury, fire, or damage to the appliance.
