— IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDING PLUG
CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Consult a quali
fi
ed electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a three
wire extension cord that has a three-prong polarized grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that will accept the
plug of the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord should be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of
the appliance.
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.
• Plug into properly installed and grounded 3-prong outlet.
• DO NOT remove ground prong.
