Electrical Grounding/Cord Info
This appliance must be grounded. Should the unit
malfunction, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for the electric current. This reduces the
risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor,
and a 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
.
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 below. Make sure
that the appliance is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor
should be used with this appliance.
