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 that has a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified
electrician or
serviceman if the
grounding instructions
are not completely
understood or if doubt
exists as to whether
the appliance is
properly grounded.
Do not use an
extension cord. If the
power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
NOTE: If your electric power line or outlet voltage
is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be
longer. Have a qualified electrician check your
electrical system.
