Grounding Instructions
•DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the appliance 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.
